Fellow Breast Augmentation ladies..

How bad does it really hurt (recovery)?? How long was it before you felt like moving at all?

There's a very good plastic surgery forum, where you can read posts from patients and view before and after pictures. I found this website extremely helpful when I was considering plastic surgery.

Re: Fellow Breast Augmentation ladies..

I had mine done on a Thursday and was back at work on Monday. My co-worker had hers done on a Saturday and was back at work on Monday. It was pretty painless! The first day was sore due to the stithces pulling a little when I lied down and the breasts moved. So I slept a little propped up. I took only one of the painkillers and the next day I tossed them and was fine. I have no scarring, the made a 1-inch incision under each breast. I didn't go HUGE so they look really natural and are soft and my ex-boyfriend didnt even know I had them done.

Re: Fellow Breast Augmentation ladies..

I think it all depends on how large you go.. I went VERY large and I had about a 2 week recovery BADD pain and I have high pain tolerance....It was worse having this done then child birth with no drugs..


but I was a B to an F.. so that explains it.. also I refuse to take any pain medication...
I wanted to heal naturally...


best decision EVER..my scar is in my nipple and you can't tell at all

Love my babies!

I'm wondering if it will be as bad because I'm going from what was once a D back up to a large D (currently a small C). Worse then childbirth?? OMG!! I'm getting a T inciscion due to my required lift. I'm a little worried about scarring. Anything you can use to minimize them?

ahh they will cut your muscle and pull it up so the implant is up firm and high and make the implant firm and plump.. alot more work but your babies will always be at attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used some scar lotion and they blended into my nipples..

Re: Fellow Breast Augmentation ladies..

Thanks guys! I'm back and I'm...itchy! They are a little sore but itch like crazy!!!! The meds really knocked me out BAD! I must have slept more this weekend than I ever have.

Re: Fellow Breast Augmentation ladies..

you will itch for awhile, your also itching from the med's I believe..

I don't take meds but they have things in them to make you itch

enjoy your new babies!

Re: Fellow Breast Augmentation ladies..

if you are taking the pain killers- they can make you itch

we were out of advil this weekend and I had the worst headache- so I took half of a prescription pain killer- and I was so itchy-

it's a side effect- it made me feel like a junky- but my headache was gone
