6days post opp!

Hi girls I’m 6days post opp feeling okay in myself but my left side is a bit stingy in certain places and my implants feel like rock and quite tight just wondering is this normal I’m probably over worrying? I had 350hp under the muscle. Xx

I’m 22 days post op and mine are still softening, it is totally normal, your body just takes a little bit of time to adjust so don’t worry.

This is really normal! Have you started massaging yet? It really helps to soften them up/make them feel a bit more normal x

My surgeon hasn’t recommended for me to do any massage, but my nurse said to me that this is normally recommended more for overs than for unders so that might be why.

Definitely normal! It swaps sides as well so for a few days ones side might be stingy/itchy then that will stop and the other side will start lol all good signs though means the nerves are regenerating so embrace it, congrats on your surgery hope you’re not too achy! Xx

Totally normal hun! I’m around 12 days post op and mine are rock solid and sting now and again. Try not stretching too much just yet. X

@becca I wonder then if massaging is recommended differently between centres! I have unders and got told it’d force them to drop and help them to feel more natural an less tight ~ I’ve definitely found it helped me a lot tho!

Aww thanks girls I feel a lot better after reading these replies I just over worry also do any of you girls know if you are allowed to open your bra to check on them now and again or am I best leaving them alone xx

Not gonna lie I wouldn’t leave mine alone kept checking they were still there and i wasnt dreaming haha xx

On a serious note always best to check them now and again hun make sure they’re healing etc properly xx

Yes, every surgeon seems to have their own methods – strapping or none, breast band or none, drains or none. I was a bit too nervous to open my bra for the first couple of days and then after that I was way more relaxed about checking how they were getting on under there!

Lol thanks girls ill have a check today xxx

Be careful about massaging them … I had unders massaged then and ended up with a haematoma ( burst blood vessel) had to have immediate surgery!!!
