Uplift and Augmentation in the near future

HI Ladies, please advise...

I visited the consultant today re possible implants next week. It seems now I need an uplift too. Not what I was expecting but Ive accepted it now. I am understandably a iot more anxious than I was. Having it done weds 4th July. . I have a wedding to attend in 7 weeks and a holiday in 8 weeks. Im hoping someone will advise I will be on the mend by then and wondering what level of pain I can expect. After having a TAH two years ago I thought I could breeze through this, but now the nerves are really setting in. Any advice you can give would be much appreciated .

Hi hun and welcome to the forum. I have not had an uplift so cant answer your questions I am afraid but someone will be along soon to help I am sure. i just had a b a and having booies is great. I look forward to hearing your story xx

Hi and welcome

I would say that you will be well and truly on the mend by week 7 & 8 xx

Hi and welcome

From my experience 7 weeks is fine :thumbs:

Hello and welcome to BJSF lovely

As you're just beginning on your BA/Uplift hourney, you may want to take a read through the 'Breast Augmentation Information' section of the forum hun, I'm sure you'll find lots of topics of interest to you in there.

In answer to your question... You should be fine for the wedding hun barring any complications (which are rare). Your holiday, will just have to be aware that your newly stretched skin will be VERY sensitive to the sun and will probably burn very easily hun. Your scars will also need to be kept completely out of sunlight to avoid any risk of pigmentation (scars turning dark), so it would be best to just keep your boobs well covered and out of the sun lovely. Other than that you'll be OK.

As this is just the introduction section of the forum babe, any other questions or concerns you might have just ask away in the 'uplift and nipple lift surgeries' section of the forum. We've many women here who have been through this procedure including myself so you'll get lots of advice here hun.

Enjoy the forum!

Thanks for all your replies. I will certainly research the site a bit more. Pleased to read all your fantastic stories and how you're doing well. I do feel a bit more at ease. One thing they did mention is that I need to stop smoking because of the healing issues, which I've already done, albeit day one. It did seem a bolt out of the blue, having had 5 ops finally resulting in a hysterectomy two years ago, there has been no mention of this previously by any of my Bupa surgeons. As well as the health general consequences, why has this so much of an impact in breast surgery as opposed to any other surgery. Any ideas? xx

I saw you've already found your replies from the other thread you posted on lovely.

It really is so important to reduce the risk of complication post-op and also help you gain the best possible result from your surgery. It is actually 'proven' that smoking could be detrimental to your healing lovely, so well done for stopping. xx

Thanks Cookie. Im still trying to find my way round the site but finding it very very helpful. I am actually struggling to find the replies and having search my post to find them x

If you type smoking in the search bar at the top of the forum hun, I'm sure you'll come across many topics with lots of responses to the problems with smoking and having a BA

If you're looking for your previous response in the smoking thread babe, you'll find it [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. xx

I see everybody has already done a wonderful job answering your questions.. I just wanted to give a big hello and welcome! X

Thanks guys. Its getting nearer and Im getting more nervous by the day. Think Im dreading waking up the most and have no idea what level of pain to expect. When Ive come round from all my other ops, specifically the hysterectomy being the worst, I was loaded up with morphine. x

PS ive been asked to start taking Arnica two days before too Ive read this really helps with the swelling and bruising :0) x

Hya hun welcome to the forum
Good luck with your op xxx

Thanks Karley. :0)

How much Arnica should I be taking girls? its 6C thanks

Hi and welcome :) 30 c of arnica is the strength we have been told for major trauma such as an operation and follow the dosage on the packaging xx

I did take 6c after having lots of stitches with a 10lb + baby and I was just fine it says 2 pilluels every 2 hours for the first 6 doses then 4 times daily for up to 5 days xxxx

Good luck hun, I'm sure you will be pleased with your results so keep thinking about that moment when you see them and hopefully it will help with your nerves

Thanks Girls. Ive started them this morning. He did say just two days before surgery so hopefully that should be enough :0) x

Yeah the high dosage is for after the op sweetie xx

Thanks Pammie. :-) Just waiting for the call tomorrow now to find out what time theyre picking me up Weds morning then Im off :0)

good luck! under 3 weeks for mine im so nervous and excited at the same time i dont know whats going on half the time lol. Arnica is meant to be good im getting some too, keep us updated on your progress! xx

HI Girls... just great! 1 day before the op and I've woken up with the sniffles. I hope it doesn't turn in to a full blown cold. Id dread it if the cancelled my op after I've built myself up to it :0( x

Oh no!! Hopefully its nothing, get plenty of vit C in you and rest up XX

Severe nerves are setting in now. Ive got myself in a bit of a state lol x
