Managed to upload thanks for tha. Out of 10 what would you say your pain was for the first 4 days? Mine was defiantly 9, they would not let me come home with strong painkillers, and they didnt originally want to give me any muscel relaxents.. until i asked and said i have done loads of research it helps.. havent had any for the past 5 days though.. if you can get diazipam it will help alot.. going to go to docs tomorrow and see if i can get some from my gp. No one else seems to have complained about pain that much from the various different stories i read.. but mine was very painfull i dont know its prob more painfull if you have draines? The pain was the worst i had ever eperienced in my life..however, if i had been able to take diazipam home i would have been extreamly comfortablee and not in pain. So girls if you can get it GET IT..My surgeon said i dont normally offer muscle relaxants?? Maybe its bit dif in the UK i dont know.
Anyway today is day 6, feeling alot better no pain at all.
I had high profile 375cc - my surgeon decided on high, i thought i was having moderate.. however i did say i would leave the final decision with him as he could see what was best during thr procedure.

Heyya, pics look good, drain is scary though! I was soooo happy that I didn't get them. How's your pain level now? Did you get round or teardrop implants? Happy healing x
April 1, 2013
Hey..
Pain is 0 today :) late in the evening its about a 3 and first thing in the morning.. drains were terrible.. they were heavy too so when i had to go to the bathroom i was trying to hold them etc scared incase i dropped them lol.. I had round.. i dont know why he decided on high profile though.. what cc did you get? thanks x
April 1, 2013
No pain today? That's fabulous. Did you stop taking pain killers altogether?
I got 375g high profile teardrop implants (Natrelle). Not sure either why I got high profile :) when are you having your first post op appointment?
April 1, 2013
No pain gone today, yesterday there was no pain other than half hr in morning and about hr in eveing just before bed.. I was thinking about tear drops to.. but ended up going with round metor. Not until the 9th april, 13 days after surgery? seems a long time dont you think?
what about you when is your first post op? Yes from day 5 only took 1 in morning and one in evening.. so it does get less painfull even though it never felt that way to me at the time lol.. so you got the same as me then... 375, i av no idea wha size that will take me to? what size you think ul end up with?
April 1, 2013
Well, he checked on me the morning after surgery for the first time. Have to schedule my "proper" appointment tomorrow. Not too sure if I'll see him this or next week. But know that he wants to see me definitely within 2 weeks after surgery.
Size wise I have no idea, hope to be a full C cup. The surgical bra is D/E but I'd say once the swellings are gone it won't fit anymore.
When are you back in work? Are you still relaxing or back to normal?
I am so extremely tired all the time but can not sleep longer than an hour on my back.
Great to find someone who's in the same time zone :) x
April 1, 2013
Yeh i hope to be a full c too, my post bra is d i think, Im not going to go back to work properly until next monday i dont think.. but i work for myself so may do a bit of wrk later today see how i feel. when are you back? no im still properlly relaxing at the moment lol.. still layed up in bed. What about you? I found it very difficult to sleep for the first 3/4 nights, last night was the 1st night i sleep through without waking.. i proped myself up more of an 90 degree angel, 2 pillows, 3 cushions, then the trianggular round pillow thing..i cant lay flat on my back - way too much pain,, i managed to get hold of a diazipam last night tho, first time since surgery so thats maybe why i sleept all the way through, or coz i was more propped up. Do you have diazipam? i would def recommend it for a good night sleep. Yeh its great your in the same time zone lol.. there doesnt seem to be alot of girls in on here in our time zone does it. think im gona take a look at what they look like today.. there has been some sensation of gurgerling today. x
April 1, 2013
I got a sick note for 2 weeks but think I'll work from home next week. Could not imagine doing anything this week though, way too sore for doing work.
Properly relaxing on the couch, fire is lit and coffee table full of junk and drinks lol
Haven't heard of Diazipam. I got Solpadeine and Ponstan for pain. One of the girls here recommended Arnica gel for the bruising so I got that today.
Did you check the looks? Any different from yesterday? x
April 2, 2013
No i know what you mean, nor me. Lol.. Sounds like u av everything you need ;) maybe im spelling it wrong? I acnt erd of your painkillers.. Hope there good, yeh i got arnica gel too, its made my brusing alot less painfull. Yeh much different, seem to av drpped n fluffed a bit? Il post tomoz.. How about yours? Hope u manage to get a better night sleep tonight x

Good morning Hun, love your boobs! They look fab.
Mine are still very swollen and sore, getting worried now that something is wrong :(
Post op day 5 now and no changes really... My surgical bra is killing me, it is unbelievably tight and I have to wear it for 6 weeks 24/7 grrrr....
I was told by my PS that I can wear a sports bra as well as long as it's tight so I Bought a fab orthopaedic sports bra (34d) which is unfortunately too big, I am a 32 but thought for post op I should go with 34, wrong.
April 2, 2013
Morning, its normal is it not? Most girls seem very swollen for the first 2 weeks from what i have seen. I guess you may be badly bruised.. im sure nothings wrong.. for peice of mind call your surgeon and see what he says. But i think they look great. Yours look very simular to mine on the 3rd day. My surgical bra has been killing me too, ive swapped now to one of those stretchy ones with no seems?? its not as tight as my cotton front fastening one. I got it from primark. Ahh what a gutter, ther really expensive too, well im sure you will fill out more again over the next few days so it will prob fit then. My size on my 3rd day was very small. I just called my PS they didnt give me any direction at all, so if it hadnt been for my research and talking to you girls i wouldnt have a clue. I hope your pain lessons, can you get someone to pic you up a stretchy one from primark today? does not fassen in front but i pull it up over my legs x
April 2, 2013
Maybe that's it. Have you sneezed since you got in done? I had a sneeze attack this morning - MAN that hurts!!!
Bought the same bra again on-line today just 32d this time :| My PS said that the bra has to be very tight to keep everything in form. Might go to Primark at the end of the week myself and see what they have. Husband said he'd go but I so know he wouldn't get it right LOL
Hope mine will have a similar healing process to yours. Really like the latest pick. Rory had a look at yours too and said that your first pics really look similar to how mine look at present. So I am hoping :)
Do your boob hurt at the side? Mine hurt there the most, like a burning pain. x
April 2, 2013
Lol.. Funny you shod say that yesterday morning i sneezed and it killed.. Yeh mem arnt really the best in that area ay lol.. Have you ad a laughing attack yet? Lol.. My partner said sumin really funny n i coyldnt stop laughing.. That was unril i felt the most imense burning ripping aensation ever.. N i stoped laughing on the spot lol..Were u able to exchange bra sizes? Well my surgeon never got bk to me, nor any nurse! Shocking! He done a great job but there comunication skills are shocking! Yeh side of my boobs most painfull, i have black bruising there too, and i guess im feeling the pain from the drain holes as well. I soo want to lay bk n relax in the bath, but i cant get my dressings wett ;( did u seep better last night? X
April 2, 2013
No laughing attack yet and not watching any funny movies to trigger :) what are you doing all day? I was sooooo bored today that I started working from home a bit (just emails really).
Didn't exchange the bra, bought it from a different website today. Sure I might fit eventually ;)
That is really shocking that your surgeon didn't contact you. Not at all after surgery? That's really bad form. Did you get it done in a hospital or in a day clinic?
I called my surgeons practice today and have my appointment on he 11th but just because my surgeon is on holidays this week otherwise I would have seen him coming Thursday. I was also told that a nurse will contact me this week to see how I am. I have to say the service I got from them is pretty ok so far.
The Americans must be über good service wise though, like some send their patients hampers, give them their mobile phone numbers and all...
Can't wait for the boobs to get softer and to get measured ;)
Slept better last night but Jasus the back pain in the morning is not good at all, so looking forward to be able to sleep on my side again.
Are yours any softer yet? Mine are still numb at the sides.

April 3, 2013
Lol..umm talking to people on this lol.. And yesterday went shopping for few hrs n done bit of light cleaning.. Wha! Hampers lol.. Im lucky to get a phone call lol.. Your hospital sounds good.. It was a private cosmetic clinic, He saw me morning aftr surgery for 2 mins n said surgery went well. That was it. I ad a answerphone msg left 10mins ago by a nurse saying call if i av questions. Ahh well we need more tha 1 bra anyway so that shod [RS bleep] in use shortly.. I ad bad back pain until i sleep with a cusion at an angle under my back.. It doesnt hurt now.. Hope your bk gets better soon tho. Yeh me too seems a long way away.. Side of my boobs hurt to press.. No mind lay lol.. Under my breasts are numb. Its werird. Tiny bit softer, are yours? Xx
April 1, 2013
Hi there! I just had mine done 4 days ago but no drains.. pain level for me is probably 5 out of 10. If I didnt have the vicodin I think I would be going crazy though.. The drain looks scary o_o.. I hope you heal in a timely manner. Goodluck!
April 1, 2013
You are so lucky you didnt have the drains... 5 thats not too bad.. i def think the drains added another 5 of pain level for me.. but day 6 today and all is good. 0 pain :)
you still in pain or you ok? hope your healing well. i didnt have vicodin.. i had ibofin, codine,and paracetamol and antibiotics to come home with.
The day of surgery i had morphene.
April 2, 2013
I dont know, i bleed alot in surgery due to thin blood?? and my surgeon said any excess blood is better out than in, as it can potensially cause problems if you bleed alot, He said your body will reabsorb the blood but it stops it from staying around your implants until obsorbed i guess. I think it may help the drop n fluff quicker? I cant post todays new pics until im on a laptop as im in my phone now in bed, but they already seemed to have dropped n fluffed a bit. Much less. Swelling too.
April 3, 2013
Aw.. Feel better! Day 6 and you feel fine?! Its day 6 for me and im the most uncomfortable I have been since I got the BA. But I did work at 12 hour shift yesterday, Everythough I got to sit down the whole 12 hours.. Not being propped up with pillows and sitting on an old wooden chair didnt do any good for me. I really cant believe your paid is a 0 at day 6 I still find myself having to take pain meds when I wake up and throughout the day or I wouldnt make it.. Anywho goodlucky missy!
April 3, 2013
Hey.. Well if i had done a 12 hr shift i wid feel un pain too.. I couldnt imagine going bk to work yet. Yeh i take paracetamol when i get up n before bed, but not thro the day anymore..ahh i hope you feel better soon. Happy healing x
April 1, 2013
You look fantastic!!! Happy healing. I got mine 18 days ago and I'm super happy. They are still hight but getting softer. Congrats on your new addictions ;-) Btw I love your new bag, what brand is it or where did you get it? It's super cute!!!
April 2, 2013
Thanks :) so do yours they look great! ;) i cant wait until
Im at 18 days.. Just wana start doing things again without stiffness n sharp pains. i drew and handpainted the bag for myself few months ago- the laura one and i had alot of people ask
Me to make them one. So thats what i do now, i have a website and make to order, www.juteylicious.co.uk
You in any pain at 18 days or do you just feel
Back to normal? X
April 2, 2013
Great I will look at the website, I think I lot of the girls here in USA would love to get a bag like that its SUPER cute!!! Do you own a business or make any other products? I would like to get something starting here so we will see. And you look fantastic. I never really had pain, I just felt stiff for a while. I started to feel completely normal at 2 week mark. I did had some pain under my right incision for few days, started around week 2 and 1 of my friend is a Dr told me it was because the muscle inside had to adjust and it was pulling from the stitches, it only lasted few days and at day 16 was completely gone. Also I feel the tightness stared to get much better after the 2 weeks. I'm very thin so I guess my skin was working hard to adjust!. I think after the first 2 weeks you will be able to pain and do whatever you want but be careful ok ;-) I feel like I'm back to normal and can't wait to work out but my PS told me that even when I feel good my body is still healing so we will see if he let me do some light exercise when I see him on 04/23. Have a great day and try to take it easy ;-) XO
April 11, 2013
Hiya.. Sorry late reply.. How are you doing? I cnt belive im still sore!! This is driving me around the bend lol.. Yeh its my buisness, Its quite new xx
April 2, 2013
From what I've seen here in the US it seems that muscle relaxers are routinely prescribed for BA. I get mine today :-) so I'll let you know if I agree LOL
April 2, 2013
Hope your doing well.. well i say they are a godsend.. shame they dont routinely dish them out in the uk, my last 5 days would have been alot easier lol.. yeh let me know what you think
April 12, 2013
I didn't actually take any, surprisingly. I was fine taking 1 Percocet every 4 hrs. They didn't make me sleepy during the day and for some reason had no problems sleeping at night

Still in pain, 15 days post op today. Still cant sleep on my side.. getting fedup with discomfort.
I am happy i had it done, however if i ever thought for one miniute it would have been this painfull i dont think i would have gone ahead. Had my 1st p op appointment Tuesday - he said all is looking good and apparantly they have started to drop quicker than he expected.
Dressing is now off.. but i think they look weird now! Happy healing all xx

Congratulations! Glad to hear that reading RealSelf reviews was helpful to you. Here is a link that will hopefully help you with posting photos. Did your doctor say it was normal to have lots of blood pouring out? Hopefully that has subsided now. Keep us posted on your recovery!
