Anyone here had a boob job?

My surgery is booked for early November and wondered if anyone here has recommendations for a good surgery bra? Also how long until you was up and about afterwards. Thanks

Ask them for pain killers before you wake up. I had a breast lift (mastopexy) for post baby spaniels ears. I like to wake up pain free so I always ask for painkillers to be given before I wake up. You'll be up and about in 5 minutes because they dont let you lie about in bed these days. I couldnt lift anything for a few weeks.

My daughter had one a week ago. She's didn't go massive. She was an A cup previously and has just had small implants to give a little shape. She's been wearing post surgery bras from M&S. She's finding it harder this week as the doctor took off the dressings and put tape there instead and the bra bands are tight on the scars. Not sure how you get around that though.

For the first several days she was showering her lower half but having a flannel wash on her top half. She also managed to have a couple of shallow baths. Just got to be careful not to get the dressings wet.

I second the M&S bra, I had my done on a Thursday and was back at work on the Monday (office job) I didn’t stay in over night or have drains. Under the muscle for reference ☺️

I had a replacement surgery and wore the M&S post surgery bras with the Velcro and hook and eye, have a couple to wash and wear.
Also lots of pillows to prop you up in bed. I found pulling myself up to sitting was hard in bed, something around the bed or foot would have been useful.
Button front clothing so you don’t have to raise your arms.
Before the surgery I moved all kitchen items down to lower cupboards or worktops so no stretching up.
I spent the first 5 days on the sofa and slowing pottering around. The following week I worked from home, office based job but I did have the last afternoon off sick as I was tired.
The next week I was back driving as my dressings and stitches had been removed.
I found a really informative website with the recovery stages, I will see if I can find it.
