what can you do?

Hey being a typical girl I was gutted to hear you can't shower after op for nearly two weeks, is this case? can water affect the stitches?

Still can't decide 300cc or 340cc, I am currently a 34a/b, but dont want to end up any bigger than a d cup, hard decisions ahead. Really good to get some advice.

Hiya Blue

I had shallow baths for a week after my op then i was allowed to get my dressing wet so they would start to come off, when they did i used to dry my incision with a hairdryer just so i wasnt rubbing anything on them.

not being able to wash your hair is a bit of a pain so definitely have someone on hand to help do this, my mum did mine for me and also Baby wipes are a godsend for the first few days.

Sizing is also one of the hardest decisions, theres lots to consider such as your stats and also the type of implant used brand profile etc, has your surgeon let you try the implants in your bra? or if not you could make some rice boobies also implants measure bigger than they look im a DD but only look about a C cup so this is also something to think about.

Lots of decisions to make hun, you will be fine though Give You

Every surgeon differs in their advice re: showers/baths!!

The smelly days are well :evil: ........ The worst part of the journey.

I was advised I could have shallow baths untill dressings were removed....ten days I think..then as my healing was good I was O.K. to shower and wash my hair. It is difficult moving particularly your arms..though easier with overs.

You just need to get a strip wash, and plenty of wipes and deo., dry shampoo or a caring person to wash your hair. (or hide from everyone) Hysterical

The first proper shower and hair wash is ....sheer bliss. Sorry not good news, but in hindsight well worth it. xx

How easy did you find it getting into and out of a bath after your BA? Did you have someone to help you?

by Blue 23rd June 2009, 5:49 am

Hey girls thanks for all your good advice, i am feeling much more positive about the whole experience, just wish I had had it done years ago, last year of my tiny A's in ibiza this summer, then whoop whoop. lol.xx

I found it ok getting in the bath, I had overs though, so not much muscle affected.

I also got some surgical gel they use for bedridden patients and used that to 'wash' for the first few days, so I wasn't smelly. Nothing beats that awesome first shower though!

I found it ok aswell LJK but i had overs and my mum was there to help me if i needed her too.

Some Baby wipes or like roxy said surgical gel is ideal for the first couple of days, and Blue ibiza you lucky thing enjoy hun! Cheerleader

Shallow baths and a flannel all the way! I think my surgeon said it was ok to shower after my 1 week check-up - but can't really remember now!

I had to get my mum to wash my hair every couple of days and I found dry shampoo quite good for inbetween days.

If you don't want to be more than a D, and it sounds like you've already got some tissue, maybe stick with the 300cc. It totally depends on your stats though. I'm quite petite and 255cc took me to a 32C/D (depending on the bra, but mostly D) and I had no tissue to start with. I'd say I look a C maximum.

Good luck with making your decision - I hated that part!! Although my ps made it clear that if I went any bigger I would look fake so I didn't have much of a choice really!

I just put a little step stool by the bath to feel more secure...It is the upper part of the body that is tight feeling !! Also, the mind is a strange thing.....I told myself.... I could get in and out safely...and I did. I was well aware there was noone around if I got stuck in there Hysterical

So, I mostly just laughed my way in and out to distract from my brain telling me my body aches. Then the laughing makes you ache :evil: xxx

Oh!! the joys of boobs!!!!

I had shallow baths with a flannel for the first 8 days, until I had my check up and the tape and bandages taken off.

My other half and my sister washed my hair for me over the bath but by the 7th day, I could do it myself.

I was a bit achey getting into the bath for the first few days - I had overs - but was fine after that.

by BlondeBarbie 23rd June 2009, 9:34 pm

I would go with 300 for D cup. And i couldnt shower for 1 week but you can still have a wash with a flannel so it was ok x

by MarieMc85 24th June 2009, 12:03 pm

I'd go for the 340s if you want a D cup.

I was a 34 A/B and was recommended 345s for a D cup.
I had 410s and am now a 34DD in M&S and a 34F in La Senza. I woukd say they only look a DD though.

What are your stats?

by natalia 24th June 2009, 12:08 pm

I had shallow baths too so just up to my waist and washed my hair bending over the bath so my incisions didnt get wet. At 6 weeks post op my ps said i could bathe normally

Me too, after a 7 day check up with the nurse I was able to have a shower on day 8 and just patted my scars dry
