Pain: Worst possible
Breast implants satisfaction: Very good
I recommend my Breast implants provider: Sign in or join to view provider name
Why: My doctor is very skilled and has a wonderful bedside manner. His staff is amazing too.
I had a breast lift & saline implants 3 1/2 months ago. It was very painful but overall I'm glad I did it.
My only concern, which could be unfounded, is my right has not dropped at the same rate as my left. I could just be impatient :D.
Even if I do require a sugerical correction somewhere down the road, I would still be happy I went through with it. It's made a huge difference in my appearance and self confidence. I had a wonderful doctor and a lot of support.

Hello, I'm 27 years old and scheduled to get saline implants with a breast lift on april 16. I definitely have one of the top plastic surgeons in the world, so 100% trust him. I know a ton of girls with implants but I know that the lift is much more invasive. If you could answer any of these questions in your opinion I would greatly appreciate it! Getting nervous! 1) How long was it before you could drive and return to work? I'm getting the surgery on a Thurs and hope to return to work by Monday. I sit at a desk all day on the computer. Do you think I'll be ok by then? 2) How is the scarring? 3) You mentioned it was the worst pain. What pain med & muscle relaxers were you prescribed and for how many days? Any other helpful advise I'd greatly appreciate! Sounds like you did what I'm about to do! Many thanks...

hello! I was able to drive on the 5th day but it was really a challenge! I also returned to work on the 5th day and ened up leaving early. I was given darvocet (sp?) for the pain and it did nothing for me. I wound up taking Tylenol PMs for 4 days - like, 5 at a time. Once I got to the 10 day mark post-surgery I was painfree, all at once. Now at 3 1/2 months, I can sleep on my stomach, wear any bra I want, etc and it's like the surgery never happened. My scarring has been minimal, largely in part to the skill of my surgeon. If I had to do it all again, I would've taken a full week off of work. Going back on day 5 was very tiring for me. You're younger (and I assume perkier!) so you may bounce back faster than 10 days. Best of luck!
