When does it get easier?

Hi girls,
I had my op on Friday. It was supposed to be first thing, as I’m diabetic, but ended up waiting till later afternoon till I went into theatre as they needed my blood results to come back from the lab so they swapped me with the last patient.

Anyway, first over night in hospital was ok, pain wasn’t too bad, and on the way home everything was just really tight, but Saturday night all of my incisions started hurting and my muscles feel so so tight, despite the meds I’m taking!! I’m now on day 2, sleeping last night was very uncomfortable and my back is killing. Just wanted to know when it starts getting easier, with less pain and swelling going down? I had 325 and 350 unders, HP with nipple lift (moved more central) Thanks x

Honestly give it 2 more days and you will definitely feel so much better! Day 3 was the worst then once I got past that the pain and tightness started to ease off and I was moving about day 4/5! It will get better xxxx

I’m 12 days post op and my swelling has completely gone down and they have dropped and look more natural looking! I had nipple reduction so I stil have some soreness and pain from my nipples but as for the implants I have no pain atall just get slightly achy without a painkiller xxxxx

Thanks Lucy! The breast band is the most annoying thing I’d say! I think I the pressure of it makes me feel a lot worse! I can tell when I’m due a muscle relaxant again, as my chest goes really really tight!. Did you have different swelling in each boob? My slightly bigger boob has the smaller implant, but I feel it looks more swollen than the other one, but I haven’t taken my bra off yet, just the band now and again to just breathe a little better 🙁

Few more days to a week but it does get better x

Day 3 was the worst for me agree with what Lucylu said, was very lucky with my recovery was a bit achy and tight but felt a bit sore day 3 and then it got easier apart from being allergic to the medical tape that hurt quite a bit lol Hopefully soon your body will start adjusting and you’ll feel loads better!

Day 2 and day 3 we’re definitely the worse days, from then it has been a lot easier and it gets better day by day, I’m now on day 12 and I’m back to work and I hardly feel a thing! I had unders aswell so I know that the recovery is normally longer, but just keep relaxing and it will get better 🙂 x
