Morning Tracey, how are you feeling.
I am day 7 post op and I noticed a slight ooze on my dressing, I removed the mepore which has a 5p size fluid. I could remove the steristrip as they are hard to get off. There is no redness or pain I appear fine. Did you have any ooze. My problem is that I have no one to help with the kids and the PS office is in West Malling. So it's so difficult to get there. Just looking for some reassurance. I will phone the PS office at 9am.

Hi there I am day 4 post op. My surgery was performed at the Wellbeck clinic. I also had my implants removed after 14 years they to had encapsulated. I decided to go for 380cc under muscle but surgeon said I had lost a bit of breast tissue as well. Unfortunately I bled a lot in surgery and was discharged with 2 drains had them removed on day 2. I have a compression dressing which is starting to itch. I'm worried about next week and caring for the kids. But I'm so happy that my breast feel soft and not hard like before, I do pray they stay the same. I am a little disappointed that I didn't go larger but I just want recover now. Glad to hear you are making a good recovery and look forward to following your progress. Have you attempted driving yet.

Hi ya!..... How u getting on? R u up and about?
So sorry u had problems during surgery and did t get the size you wantedx
I have only had 220 in because I didn't want large breasts again only to have them lifted again in a few years lol this op isn't as easy as just having implants is it?
You will have to ask the children to help you next week, you can easily rupture your wound and have to go back in to have repairs so make sure you take it easy!
I will be 3 weeks post op on Wednesday, still lying on my back in bed, still can't do everything I want to do but Definately getting better, the wounds are healing ok but still have itchy dressings on.
I can drive now so that's brilliant, I can get out and about and dont feel stuck in the four walls anymore.
What size implants did you have in the end?
Quick recovery wishes being sent your way x

Thank you for the advice. I definitely will take it easy . I am up and about but only left the house to see the surgeon on Good Friday to remove my drains. I was feeling tearful think because its Easter and everyone is out and about 'cabin fever' is setting in. I went for 380cc but can't really see the result as I have a compression strap. My hubby says I look the same. I I had 300cc before over muscle but I also didnt want to go big as I liked the fit of my clothes before. My surgeon said the previos implants were extremely hard and I had hard capsules that is the reason I bled alot. The dressings are very itchy indeed and I have to keep them on for another 10days hope I can cope. I want to get well and do hope all goes well. Do ne honest I can't afford another breast operation in the future. So I am determined for this to work,
I have asked a few people to help me with school drop offs next week. Then I can drive from day 12 or so. It's my 2 1/2 year old that I cannot pick up at all. So I have to get ready early so that I take it easy. You are doing very well considering you had a lift and your breasts look very natural. Wishing you a good recovery as well. You are doing very well x

My friend had 370 6 weeks ago with the well beck clinic but she only had the lollipop lift and not sure if they are under the muscle.
You will
Notice a difference once the compression bandages come off and they settle down from swelling. I had mine under the muscle and it does make them look different but natural. I'm sure you will be really pleased with the results once you can see them properly and can get out and about x
