Congratulations on your surgery! I'm having a lollipop lift with implants on the 30th of October so it's a bit different but I hope you're recovering well x

by Jojo73 16th September 2013, 10:39 am

Thank you and good luck on your surgery I'm slowly getting there ...take each day at a time x

Hello and welcome to Breast Buddies Jojo wavey

Having your dressings changed for the first time can sometimes be a big shock babe so do be aware of that. Your boobs may look all puckered around the areolas, the stitches may look awful but just keep in your mind that one year from now.... They're going to be barely visible!

Hope all goes well today babe and please let us know how you got on. Xx

by Jojo73 16th September 2013, 10:55 am

Thank you for your lovely advice...I will let you know how I get on tomorrow

Good luck for tomorrow Jojo... when my time comes I will be having an uplift with breast implants, so any advice/guidance is much appreciated. Hope all goes well. Have you started a picture trail ?

Thank you....good luck with your surgery when the time comes ...I found not drinking milk after surgery helped with the general anaesthetic I was advised anyway even though I was sick once ....I'm usually sick quite few times so just stayed with black tea...I took pic before surgery when surgeon drew on me and next one I will take tomorrow after dressings have been taken off will be a dramatic change after taken 7lb 12oz off altogether !!!....xx

by Lias6246 16th September 2013, 7:41 pm

Thanks for that tip Jojo, I drink a copious amount of tea so I will remember to avoid it! Wow 7lb12oz! I bet you feel lighter! Hope you're recovering well x

by Jojo73 17th September 2013, 7:14 am

I certainly do feel lighter as the original amount was supposed to be around 2lb...feel more itchy today but today will see them though I'm know I'm going to look like a patchwork quilt I'm prepared ....another tip try to have everything at waist level...as know way the 1st few days will you be able to stretch or raise your arms x

by Lias6246 17th September 2013, 7:32 am

Thanks for that, hope it all goes well and I'm sure you will look ace!

Let us know how you get on xx

Wow, that's quite a reduction! Congratulations on your surgery - my cousin had a reduction and even though the recovery was tough at times she doesn't regret it at all x

by Jojo73 17th September 2013, 10:25 am

Yes it is quite an amount ....I feel much better today once dressings are off but just so good tops fit me again :)

Hi ive recently had just a BA but am sure I will need an uplift in the future so its always good to read women's journeys of having the uplift :)
Congrats on having your surgery and happy healing! xx

by jenniferrf1 17th September 2013, 1:30 pm

Aww that's good! It is very early days but at least things are looking good so far :) Enjoy your shower! I got the go ahead yesterday but havnt felt brave enough yet to take my bra off lool....im planning on doing it tomorrow!! xx

by Jojo73 17th September 2013, 1:32 pm

I not wore one since got them done relied on-dressings was enough....I felt very nervous when they took the dressings off today like I was loosing security lol....good luck with taking bra off sure you be fine x

by jenniferrf1 17th September 2013, 1:38 pm

Lol I don't know how I would have been having to go braless!! My nurse had a good feel and a squeeze on my dressing change, could of ran away she hurt so much...so im glad that's over :D xx

by **COOKIE** 17th September 2013, 2:08 pm

Yaaaaaaay for the shower! Haha. Unbelievable isnt it how much you miss a shower. You won't half enjoy it though.

When you have your shower lovely I don't know whether your nurse explained but just let the water run over the stitches, its more than enough to be keeping them clean. Then just dab your boobs dry with your towel, I was over cautious and used a different towel for each boob to avoid passing any infection between the two lol, but I'm a bit OCD anyway, so as long as they're patted dry that's fine. Then get your hairdryer and put it on a cool setting and gently blow dry your incisions until they are bone dry.

Any dampness is a breeding ground for infection babe, so do ensure they're thoroughly dry.

Happy showering! Stars

Thanks cookie most of my wounds are covered but around nipples have steri strips on feel quite sore now dressings have been changed so will shower tomorrow

by **COOKIE** 17th September 2013, 2:13 pm

Awww they feel quite tender when the full dressings get removed, so you just things at your own speed babe.

We're always here if you need advise lovely. Many of us have been there and done that and are only too willing to help you through sweetie Hug

by jenniferrf1 17th September 2013, 2:18 pm

I've print screened that advice cookie for my shower when I pluck up the courage lol!
Can I ask quick... Does it matter on the temperature of the water? Should it be not too hot? Xx

by **COOKIE** 17th September 2013, 2:19 pm

Whatever you're comfortable with is fine Jen. Don't worry hun... You'll be OK Hug

xx

by jenniferrf1 17th September 2013, 2:22 pm

Ok thank you :D will give it a go!! Xx

by Jojo73 19th September 2013, 12:11 am

Hi unfortunately took a down turn my left breast started to leak late this afternoon so I changed my dressing it leaked through that until I was soaked and the smell was rancid so I knew had infection phoned hospital who did operation and had to go straight in they have took a look and said definitely infection...I felt unwell last night and thought might be coming down with cold so did not take much notice plus only had dressings changed at hospital yesterday ...so they have put me on iv antibiotics and cleaned me and surgeon is coming to see me in morning....hopefully will clear up quick but I'm so worried xx

by **COOKIE** 19th September 2013, 12:27 am

Was it a heamatoma that caused the bleeding Jojo?

So sorry things haven't gone too great so far babe, but things WILL get better. Stay positive sweetie. Xx
