22 Year Old, 5'6, Excited to Recieve Bigger Boobs!! (= - Carmel, IN

So if I work out arms and chest from now till august it will make my recovery harder? )=

Isolated arm exercises are fine, but anything that uses your pecs will definitely make your recovery harder and longer and more painful, and will keep them from dropping for perhaps a few months longer than the 3-4 months it usually takes....

You want your pec muscles to be as weak and thin as possible, to shove large foreign bodies up under them. Strong thick muscles spasm and hurt and don't want to accept the implant.

Thanks so much, I will need all the advice I can get... I'm in this phase where I'm really excited, and then extremely nervous. My boyfriend planned to take a week off to take care of me for the first week, but if he gets this new position ill be on my own.. So ill have to learn all the tricks...How long were your arms useless for?

I felt the same way leading up to my surgery. After About 2 days it was much better. I would get into bed on my knees and scoot to where I wanted to be since I couldn't use my arms and scoot backwards when I'd slide to the bottom of the pillows. Reaching for stuff was really hard at first. I'd get the toilet paper off the roll before I sat down bc it was hard to get if I sat first. Definitely stay on top of your pain meds. It makes it so much better.

For me, my arms couldn't be useless because I had a tummy tuck at the same time, which was a far more painful and debilitating surgery and recovery. The pain from the BA was nothing in comparison, and I had to use my arms a lot to try to gingerly get up and down, etc. My core, muscles and everything, had been operated on, and I could use it. You will have discomfort using your arms, but if you take a deep breath and do what you need to do, you will be fine. You aren't supposed to lift anything over 5 lbs for 6 weeks, and not supposed to stretch your arms up high for a couple of weeks, though. Can cause displaced implants, hematomas, etc. so someone else will have to do lots of household chores for you for a long time: laundry, carrying and putting away groceries, putting away dishes up high, etc....
