Recovery tips?

Hey ladies,

I’m due to have my surgery on 11 July with Dr Marcellino, and wondered whether any boobie veterans might have any tips on the best products to purchase to make recovery as easy as possible? I’ve so far got V shaped pillows and button up pyjama tops, but would be grateful for any other suggestions!

Thank you so much x

Ice packs ice packs ice packs!! I’m 3 weeks and a half weeks post op and I’m still using mine occasionally! I brought some of the long kool packs that are gel so easy to mold around you and lie across your chest! Oh and randomly straws… I found it a bit hard to tilt bottles up and back as my chest was so tight and I couldn’t lift my arms too much but that might just be me!
Definitely ice packs though, they really help dull the ache or any pains you get, i stopped taking pain killers after my second day and just used those instead! Now they’ve settled a bit i have a heat pack too! Xx

Dry shampoo as you cant shower for a week or two so its great if nobody can do it for you, roll on deodorant as your not aloud spray, post op bras! And a neck pillow also helps when trying to sleep sat up.
Good luck! I had Mr Marcellino too:) xx

Heidi, how come your not aloud to shower for a week? I had op Thursday and surgeon said I could shower the next day due to having waterproof dressing. I highly recommend a neck pillow to help with sleeping but sounds every surgeon is different.

@felicity50 Felicity, thank you sooooo much! I never thought about those things so you are a total life saver! Xxx

@Heidisteerx thank you so much babe! That is so helpful! My poor husband will be subjected to salon type hair washing during recovery haha!

How was Dr Marcellino? I’m so super nervous! How are you healing? Yours look amazing!! Xx

@sarah-Lou11 that’s so interesting! Who did you have? How are you healing babe? Xx
