Meg: Questions about breast augmentation surgery?
I am getting my surgery done this Tuesday (today is Sunday) and I am REALLY nervous. I was wondering if any women out there who have had this surgery are willing to share their post-op experiences. I know it is going to hurt like hell and I am stressed because I am not familiar with severe pain. I am getting my implants sub-muscular, 350cc “gummy bear” silicone. The incision will be under the breasts.
Please, no “anti-breast implants” responses…
Looks like your friend needs to pick better doctors if the ER treated her like crap.

I know a woman who had breast implants. She had extremely severe pain for about 6 weeks – couldn’t work, could barely get out of bed. She took a lot of really strong painkillers but was worried about forming an addiction. She actually ended up with permanent pain, and after about 6 months one of her implants seemed to fall down into the skin under her breast and was accompanied by excruciating pain. She went to the ER and was treated rather nastily because she had elected to undergo such a risky procedure. She had them removed.
I havent had the surgery but my sister has and I was her care-giver and ride home after the surgery. The only piece of advice I can give is to MAKE SURE that you fill your pain medication the day before the surgery and ask your care-giver/ride home to give you your 1st dose of medication before you leave the clinic, pain medication can take several hours to “kick-in”. Also my sister threw up from the dizziness of the anesthesia and medication on the ride home from the surgery, and battled nausea the entire 1st day, perhaps you should keep a bowl on hand just in case. My sister explained the pain as if she was sore for push-ups or other chest exercises or similar to breast milk coming in following birth of a baby. All in all she had a speedy recovery, in my bed, and loved the end result. Good luck.
