As the title says really, when can you start to put your arms above your head ?, eg, reaching up for stuff in cupboards etc, as I forgot to ask lol xx

Yea I feel I can do it at a week but don't want to stretch anything that is knitting together.

Give it a little longer x

I agree with what the other girlies have said. Just take things in your own time, if you feel any pulling jus stop, you don't want to open any sticthes or displace your implant

Yep, i was told 2 weeks, or until it feels comfortable, or you could stretch your incisions x

It only felt completely comfortable for me at 3 weeks, even having overs.

I'm 7 weeks now and reaching up for the Garage Door, which is something I have to get on my tippy toes and stetch as much as I can to reach, is still a bit uncomfortable.

I was the same as SB, even at 6 weeks if i did too much stretching i could really feel it aching, only do it if you feel comfortable hun.

This worries me because im back at work after 12 days i work with children aged 1-2years and obviously pick them up etc i asked my surgeon about this and he said i could probly go back even after a week butiv been reading comments on here about not being able to lift or stretch your arms til around 6 weeks so am worried now x

Laurax, you should be ok as you're having overs, I had partial unders and at 2 weeks I could lift my 6 month old baby, although very carefully

i still find it a bit uncomfy to pick my little dog up and i had mine done june 8th that might just be cos i didnt have anything in the way before i had it done and now i deffo do.

i was able to tie my own hair back by day 3 very very slowly and gently by lowering my head right down and forward, i was washing my hair by day 7 over the bath but reaching up i couldnt do properly for about 7 weeks-just felt weird lol still does now, tight yet wobbly haha
