Hey I had my post op appointment on Friday. All was good healing well. Right was more bruised than the left and it also seems to be a day or two behind the right as swelling and pain. I have felt more pain as the days have gone on but not enough to take medication. The odd twinge, bruised feeling on ribs and sternum and my back hurts I think because of sleeping still on my back. As for the boobs love them. They are lot bigger than before which I can't understand as I thought they would have been swollen and got smaller. They are a lot bigger when let loose out of the sports bra. They are slowly softening and dropping.

Feeling really good! Able to move and lift my arms up further now. I can wait ford them to drop a bit more and go in but I won't expect too mich as I was told there would be quite a gap. Morning I am a bit stiff and once up I'm a lot more comfortable. I can't wait to sleeponmy side! When can i wear normal bras guys? Is it 6 weeks post op and once my plasters are off Friday what should I do about the scars? X

Bio oil has worked wonders and also silicone plasters (like these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Elastoplast-Scars-Reducer-Transparent-Patches/dp/B008X7AE4Y) are awesome! They're expensive but you can cut them to size (so you get more out of the pack) and they're really good.
Your 'girls' look great! Interested to know what the final size turns out to be.

I LOVE that floral bra!!
At your first check you'll probably get the big dressings taken off (huge relief!!) but I expect the nurse will replace the steri strips to keep the incisions covered for a few more days (that's what happened when I saw her anyway) ;-)
Once they'd fallen off I was cleared to use pure coconut oil - you can buy big tubs in health food shops like Holland and Barrett - feels and smells great!
Some ladies swear by scar sheeting etc - maybe ask the nurse when you see her, your first check is at 14 days I presume?
You'll probably be cleared for underwired at 6 weeks - but fully expect them to feel quite awkward for the first few months until your boobs really soften. I wore soft bras under anything I could fot the first few months and just underwired on "special occasions"
Looking good Hun! :-) x

wow they look amazing!!! and i love love that bra!! how are you feeling??? I took my strapping/plasters off 14 days post op, as long as the incisions were fully healed/not open I was given the go ahead to continue in my surgical bra and to use scar treatment cream - but the process is different for each person so I would relaly advise asking that question to your PS, happy healing lovely! i am 15 days post op now and it just gets easier each day xxxx

One day post op
Hi guys so I slept ok last night. I had lots of pillows. I feel quite weak in the arms and mobility but still no pain which is great. I have decided not to take the co dydramol that they gave me as u can feel constipated so I have bought some soluble paracetamol instead. I am pleased with the results although I still feel I could have gone bigger but happy enough. They are quite wide apart at the moment which will get better but I was made aware by my surgeon that because of my wide high chest bone in the middle that there would be a gap and they would have tendency to go out to the sides. I can believe how squidgy they are to touch I thought that they would be like rocks. Getting my three kids back tomorrow 1,2 and 7 so not looking forward to that! I have another adult with booked in for the next 10 days as I can't lift the baby! It's not going to be easy X
