How long does the pain usually last after breast augmentation? 1 day post-op.

Emily75
I had 450cc saline under the muscle yesterday about 1pm. Unless I'm medicated to (sleeping). It's pretty bad. About 8 on pain scale. I am staying in bed except to go to bathroom. Luckily I have a Mobil memory foam so I can sit up a little. They do look nice although I'm swollen up high to my armpit in the front.
