Pain level

By rr33 on 25 Mar 2012

Also I have had dome say pain is less then breast implants and others tell me it hurts worse then birth and that u feel smothered . It's starting to give me anxiety about my upcoming surgery/ recovery ... Any advice ?

The pain was moderate and I would suggest you request a very short prescription for pain medication to last around a week. Tylenol alone would not have worked. I was easily able to breathe through my mouth, its something that seems to come naturally after this procedure. The severe congestion is annoying but as long as you expect it, its manageable for about one week.

my pain level was at a 4 out of 10 definitely not benign but manageable with medication

Thank you. I'm having ent wrk inside as well as cosmetic . It's closed surgery . I was told packing comes out second day n splints n cast will be removed 5 days later. My breast implants were a piece of cake. I'm praying the process is similar

I can tell you from my first hand experience that I didn't feel much pain, just a TON of stuffiness. It does NOT hurt worse than giving birth and probably a lot less than breast implants. Everyone is different, but this was my experience.

Good luck!
