Five weeks post op

WORTH IT$11,700
Hi Everyone
Here are my five week post op pictures. I have stopped using the micro pore tape and using Avene water spray along my stitches, I’ll start the E45 moisturizer in the next few days then after the six weeks I’ll start the silicon scar treatment. Does anyone recommend a scar treatment?

Looking fab.. how are you doing today??? Xxxx
Good Morning
Hope you slept better & are feeling better :) xx
Hi lovey
Yes slept bit better last night thanks. I’ve ordered one of those bras you have got. Hoping that will be more comfortable. I’ve tried putting a picture up this morning . But I don’t think it worked.. I managed to wash my hair and dry it..Have check up on Tuesday. How are you doing?? Xx
That’s good it does help when you get a good nights rest. Be careful over doing things if you wash your hair by leaning over the bath try not to just yet it could hurt your breasts abs affect your stitches. Have you got dissolvable stitches? That’s good you’ve got a check up Tuesday. What post op bra did you order? The Theya are made with bamboo polyester mix and the lipoelastic ones I purchased are 100% cotton due to my allergies I preferred the cotton. When you go to your profile go to add update it should allow you to add a picture... good luck they don’t make it easy here on real self to update or change stuff. I’m getting better everyday., thank you.
I see Mr Floyd on the 12th July for the follow up appointment stitches seem to be healing ok. I’ve asked Mr Floyd to give me a list of all the medications given to me during the op I’m just trying to make sure I don’t have a reaction again if I ever have another general.
Have a lovely day hun :) xx
I’m glad your feeling better...
I ordered the lipoelastic one..Hopefully it’ll come tomorrow...
I did it managed a picture...
I stood in the shower and just did a quick wash... my stitches are dissolvable .. thank goodness..x
Getting better hun, Just having fish & chips with mum :) how are you feeling ?

Heading home soon.. completely ruptured left implant. Thank god that’s over
Oh my lord :( glad they took the capsules out, no more silicon :) just as well you’ve had the toxic bags removed god knows where the silicon can go. I have what they call snowflakes in my armpits it’s silicon in my under arm lymph nodes:( so glad they are out ... xx

Hiya Hun
I wrote a long message and when I went to send it it disappeared:(
Anyway Theyapostop bras.com are the ones I was given at the hospital but I found them not too supportive so I purchased from lipoelastic.co.uk but if your looking for comfort look at the Theya post op bras. I paid £92 for two post op bras from lipoelastic they have an online shop. I think Theya might be more up your street as they are softer and not so firm. I got mine from the hospital so I’m not too sure what they cost
Have a look at the website
Theya post op bras
Good luck it’s not easy I know after a week I just felt like I wasn’t in a straight jacket but you must keep one in 24/7 to heal :( big hugs :) xx
Good Morning Hun
Hope you slept better and are on the mend.
It’s not easy trying to sleep with the post op bras on and also being upright on your back but I hope you managed to have a look at the links I sent you on the Theya and Lipoelastic. Big hugs :)
Morning
Did you soak your boobs when showering ?? I’ve bern kind of being quick and careful. I still have the tape on the cuts.. do you think it’s ok to soak them off now.. hoping my new bra gets here soon. X
Hiya
I was told not to get the tape wet for the first week so no shower the first week just strip wash. Once I had my first dressing change at one week I was able to shower, the tape dries quite quickly but I used my hairdryer on low heat if getting dressed as the tape felt damp. Try not to get your tape wet until you see the doctor I wouldn’t take the tape off wait to see the dr.
My bra arrived .. it’s much better thank you for suggesting it... It must be slightly different to yours doesn’t seem as high in the front..think I’ll order another one later. Gill x
That’s good news... how are you feeling xx
It will get easier I found day 3 the worst but sleeping upright on your back takes a bit of getting used to. Did they remove the drains yesterday or do you still have them in? I found that part painful I’m still sore where the drains were. Get plenty of rest and no heavy lifting.
Drink plenty of water to flush the drugs out of your system your be surprised what they pump into you during surgery. I’m fine hun xx
I’m going to try and do a picture.. but it said it was too big to send. But I’m sure I did it that way before.You had a huge surgery mine was pretty minimal in comparison. X
Glad we are both the other side :) try to reduce the number of pictures sometimes 3 is too much x
It was only one. But I’m rubbish at this stuff. I panic myself where it’ll end up.!! A picture of my jugs on some place it shouldn’t be!
I'm finally on the other side too! Surgery yesterday went really smoothly. I wanted to write but I kept falling asleep :)
Sending healing best wishes. :)
Wow look us all go..

Post op compression bra

I purchased two new compression bras from lipoelastic.co.uk yesterday.
They are cotton and extremely supportive much more than the bra I was given at the hospital called Theya. I was suffering with skin irritation from the Theya brand plus they were riding up under my breast scars which was painful. I went to lipoelastics showroom in london but they have a good online shop.
My new bras are really supportive much more so than the Theya.
Theya was made with bamboo nylon and polyester my new bras are cotton. Hope this helps someone.

New post op bras Cotton

Just posting pictures of my new post op compression bras. Extremely supportive much more than the one given at the hospital Theya. I was suffering from irritation especially my upper back so looked into finding a cotton bra. If you go to lipoelastic.co.uk you will see the range. I went to the showroom in london as I wanted to be measured but the online shop is great too.
These bras are very very supportive
Hope this helps someone :)

How long after surgery did you finally know what size you were going to end up with? I want to go bra shopping, but I have no idea what size I'll be after explant & lift.
Your surgeon should be able to give you an idea what size you will be, I still haven’t been measured for cup size as I only bought two post op bras which are just SML so I’ll get a measurement when I can from a bra shop but I’ve read you measure under band then at your fullest point the difference then is your cup size, if you look online it tells you the cup size depending on that difference. Swelling can take up to three months so I’ll get measured nearer the time as I’m only 4 weeks post op.
I bought the size bras I was pre implants!!! Are they supposed to be tight????
Hi love
How are you feeling??? Any better???
Xxx
Good Morning Hun
On the mend and getting better each day ...fingers crossed turned a corner. :) how are you? Your op is this Wednesday isn’t it? Are you having pre op check Monday ? Hope all goes well. Xx
I had it on the 19th May.. have Covid test at 9.30 am tomorrow.. then using the wash and isolating.!!
Will leave here at 6.30 on Wednesday.. for 7.30 ....
I’m dreading it.. just wish it was over with. Did you see I started a page.! Quite impressed with myself.
Great pics.,,Can’t believe how similar we are in size etc stay positive it will be all over before you know it and no more toxic bags in your body you will be so relieved:) xx
Wow, identical to what I'm doing, but mine is on Thursday, same routine, same time. I'm going to check out your post :)
Hi Maria
His are you feeling.??? I’m just getting ready to go get my Covid test.!!! Then in isolating... packing..
Hiya
Good luck with your surgery Thursday :)
I’d wait and just buy your post op compression bras then during your recovery you can get measured properly there’s a lot of swelling post op so after your fully healed go shopping. Xx
