A Bit Deflated! Excited & Nervous. Words of Encouragement Needed Sisters - London, GB

Thank you honey X

Thank you so much x

Thank you the last two weeks have really been key in the process x

Thank you. X

Thank you x

I'm glad it's helped. Sorry to hear that you got an infection glad you're better now.
Mine still itch but using bio oil now and it's helping that a lot.
It took four weeks until I was clear of bandages and now it's like I never had surgery so the last 2 weeks have been key to my healing. I wish you all the best. Keep in touch x

I feel like I have a steel band wrapped tightly under my breasts. Did you have that? I suspect it is the incision which will hopefully settle. I also think they look a bit like squashed pancakes rather than melon shaped!

It's did feel a bit tight but my dressings were wrapped around my ribs. Now the tissue underneath feels hard I'm hoping that will soften over time.
My right one is still very square looking and I definitely have odd nipples. Having said that I still prefer them to what I had before.
I will see what happens in the next 6 weeks then mention to my surgeon if I still think it's a problem x

I will do the same! U have the dressings changed today and appointment with surgeon Wednesday. Pain that I felt yesterday if I even blew on the skin seems to have eased....just finished my third week. Hoping this week will bring everything together and I can get on with shopping!

My third week was my worst during recovery. I regretted having it done. Didn't like how they looked or felt. But I'm so happy now. X

How are you? Did you get on ok? I've been thinking about you x

Hi Sadie,
I have my done on the 17th-11- At the Welbeck hospital London, by Dr. Maurino Joffily! Wow it is a painful recovery!
So much to talk about! Right to the very last minute my surgeon and I discussed in not to have the lollipop cut! Instead I had just the implants, main reason was because I was very scared of the scars!
Anyway so far day 3, boobs are swollen, some sort of a rash has developed under my bra line and starting to easy on pain killers. I tried to upload pictures but couldn't from my phone!
I am so please for your recovery, are you feeling well? Yesterday I had a burning sensation on my cut, I guess it was from moving too much.
I will try again with the pictures xx

So glad to hear from you. I didn't have implants but I believe there is more pain due to muscles being cut etc. I did get a burning sensation and the rash could be from the dressings irritating you. I'm feeling fine my one nipple is a bit weird but overall I'm really pleased. I can't tell you enough how what you're looking at and feeling now will be nothing like you feel in 4 weeks time. My worst part was seeing the scars for the first time but as you can see they've healed really well. Look forward to seeing your progress. Rest up and no stretching x

Thanks Hun. No implants just a lift and I'm so pleased I didn't. I have lost 1 cup size which is fine by me x

Hi. Thanks. Back in the gym but only on the cross trainer and treadmill. Back in normal bra today I'll let you know how it goes x

Thank you.
It's definitely stitches I've had a really good look, I think it's because they've been covered until today and now they're not I can feel every little thing. Super sensitive x

Hi
I'm glad it helps. It's funny I never even considered how I would feel post op. I just wanted the procedure!
I'm so happy with everything so far though. Just the initial shock of seeing your own scarred skin.
Keep in touch and happy healing x
