Re: Breast augmentation and lift

I had a lift (no augmentation) a week ago and my breasts are still very itchy. They were quite painful until the PS took the stitches out at 5 days PO.

Re: Breast augmentation and lift

I did it 5 days ago but you only did the lift and you found it painful It feels weird and painful I think my plastic surgeon told me the stitches disolve I have to ask him. Besides being itchy are you still somewhat sore and in alittle pain you did yours only a week ago. I always get nervous that something is wrong. Are you pleased with how they look also do they look smaller with a lift or bigger because I got the implant also so I would be fuller and alittle bigger and I did get exactly what I wanted they look great I just do not like the way it feels right now. Thanks

Re: Breast augmentation and lift

You will have quite a longer down time than a plain augment because of the lift. It's much more invasive. Specifically what kind of lift did you get, do you know?
Also, if you had implants placed beneathe the muscle you should expect some soreness for a while. It will take a bit for the muscle to relax. However, when it does, you can expect your implants to settle and take on a more natural appearance. If they appear smaller than what you expected it's because your pecs are still compressing the implants right now. You may even find you increase a cup size or so when they drop and fluff. But the whole process could take upwards of 3 months or more. You may even notice small changes for upwards of a year post op.
In the mean time, you'll find that you use your pecs for even the smallest of things. Brushing your hair, brushing your teeth, driving may be very difficult.
Take it easy and rest. You just went thru major surgery believe it or not, and it will take time to recover.
You'll get used to your new additions and before you know it they'll feel like they were always there.

Re: Breast augmentation and lift

I thought there was only one kind of breast lift and i believe he went under the muscle. I guess you are right it will take some time to heal. Thanks for the reply. I am thrilled with how they came out. I just want to feel normal again soon.
