Boob job ladies

[Winniesmum2021]

Hello
After 2 babies I’m considering a breast augmentation…I work a physical job and obviously have 2 young children…the only thing stopping me is the recovery. I had a c section for my last baby and didn’t find it bad and the recovery was straight forward for me. I was wondering if there was any comparison on the recovery for a boob job? Or if anyone has any positive stories of easy recovery from a boob job? I’m only small and don’t want anything large just want them to look less like spaniel ears!!
TIA

I've had one. My c section was much worse and more painful! I had a day of strong painkillers but they made me feel really woozy so I just stuck with paracetamol. I felt absolutely fine after a few days. I had a night in the hospital then a night at my mums without the kids so they wouldn't jump on me or want picking up!
I had a full uplift with implants.
For a few weeks after I had to be careful with lifting my arms above my head as I had the teardrop shape rather than round and until they settle in they can twist round and become wonky!

It's recommended you meet a few surgeons to find the one that works for you but my 1st surgeon charged £250 for a consultation so I was hardly going to meet 2 more at that price!

I read your thread last night.
Coincidentally I went onto my GP's website just a little later to order a repeat prescription.
I was really surprised that they have, prominently displayed on their homepage, a message about after care provision for people who have operations done privately. To summarise they were saying it is not the job of the NHS to provide such after care, it is the job of the provider of the operation. My conclusion, reading this, that if they feel the need to display such a message prominently there must be a lot of demand on the NHS from people having private operations to provide care, presumably when things go wrong.
So, I wondered , as you are contemplating a cosmetic operation, to what extent you are just assuming everything will go according to plan. Or whether you expect the NHS to step in if things don't?
I am always so surprised when people talk about having cosmetic surgery as though it's nothing, with no danger attached to it all.

I suspect this NHS message was aimed at people who have travelled overseas for surgery and then return and request aftercare from the NHS. If OP uses a reputable UK based surgeon there would be aftercare written into the contract.

I've had 2.
Positive experiences with both.Make sure your surgeon is a member of B.A.A.P.S

I can highly recommend Mr Moritt and Claremont Hospital if you're in Yorkshire.

@Winniesmum2021 I’ve had a c-section and 3 years later a boob job. I found the boob job much more painful in the first days of recovery, however overall recovery was quicker. I had a week off work and was sat still for the first 2 days and within a week was back to driving and at work (desk job).

Hi I think it depends a lot on whether you have your implants over the muscle or under.
i had “overs” and recovery wasn’t too bad at all. My sister had hers under the muscle and was in agony and could hardly move for a couple of weeks. They took a lot longer to “fluff and drop” too.
The surgeon will recommend what’s best for your body. If you’re in Scotland, Mr Quaba in Edinburgh is who I went with.

I had under the muscle and was fine, no pain really, more a feeling of having done a lot of chest exercises. Didn't take the painkillers as they made me so sick.

Reading threads about breast surgery and I’m Yorkshire and my mum saw mr. Morritt for something unrelated to cosmetics on the nhs. Were you happy with the scarring can I ask? I’m wanting an uplift so it’s what I’m really worried about
