Vest without bra- 39 days post op
1 month
I've now switched to a supportive sports bra and wear that at night.
I don't feel pain anymore, just slightly sensitive if I lean on one side for a long time. Overall I'm back to normal apart from taking it easy on upper body workouts in the gym.
Still sleep on my back but I think that's more being cautious than anything.
At this point I feel much happier with my body and I wouldn't feel ashamed if I was to go into a sauna or go swimming in a bikini. I'm very grateful to dr Ulens and the people at Beaucare.
Tomorrow I am going to try some bras on and find something a bit more comfortable than my primark bra. I find that after a while it does dig in a little at the underwire. I might look in H&M or New Look for some.
Anyway that's all really so far. They're settling and getting softer. I'm doing massages every day (or at least try to!)
Provider Review
Dr Ulens was extremely professional, friendly, understanding and instilled a lot of confidence in me. The procedure went very well, and I am very happy with the size and I'm glad that I trusted her judgment regarding size. With regards to Clinic Beaucare: The payment process: The bank account that we paid from only gave the option of GBP to be sent, however some of this money was lost during the conversion to Euros. The clinic mentioned that as a result, they received slightly less than £2200, however, they said it didn't matter, as it wasn't our fault - it was to do with our online bank. At one point a few days before the operation, the clinic e-mailed saying they hadn't received the money! Gave me a slight panic attack, but after confirming references etc. it was sorted out. Note: Somebody had cancelled their operation last-minute in the morning before my operation. Therefore, the clinic rung me at 7am and asked us to come in around 3 hours earlier than scheduled. This was luckily no problem for us because we had been in Brussels since the night before. So I would advise anyone to be prepared for a situation such as this, as it can happen. Aftercare: There were some generic information on the aftercare sheet that was not as helpful as could be. Aftercare sheet says stitches to be removed after 10-14 days. However, in the case of my procedure, I had to ask the clinic to give me a more exact date for the stitches to be removed as my UK doctor would not remove the stitches otherwise. I was then informed that my stitches were not to be removed, but they were dissolvable and only the ends needed to be cut. Therefore, I would advise to anyone to keep e-mailing the clinic for anything that they are vaguely unsure about. The clinic usually reply within 24 hours, and thus I rate them for email responsiveness. Time spent with me I felt the time with my surgeon was a little on the brief side, but she was thorough in answering my questions. I did not see her after the surgery as she had to go, but she made sure to see my bf who was with me at the time to explain a couple of things and to say that the surgery had gone well. Overall, very professional lady and I feel like she did a good job and gave me the size I was looking for.
