    Default How painful is a BA?

    I really want to get my breasts done this fall/winter. The only thing that worries me is the pain that I would feel afterwards. So I was wondering if it's really that bad? Do u get good meds?

    I'm really scared that the pain will be intolerable

    For me, it was a 10 on a scale of 1-10. I'm not trying to scare you that's just my experience. But it's WELL worth it. I was prescribed viocodin but it makes me sick so i had a friend bring me percoset and morphine...bless her heart.

    It makes me very nervous that every girl I've seen on those MTV specials is like "Fuck me, I wouldn't have done this if I hurt so bad" right after, but then in a month talk about how it was completely worth it.

    I'm still on the fence too b/c of pain.

    The pain really sucks, but the percocepts should help a little. I was on those but stopped taking them after a week and switched to extra strength Tylenol cause I hated the drugged out feeling they gave me. Also, the feeling of coming out of anesthesia was bloody hell.

    For me, it was painful, but not constantly and not at the same level of pain.

    The first few days, I felt mostly numb, but warm all over and very uncomfortable. My abs hurt like hell, my chest burned like fire where the implants sat (it felt like when you peel off a scab and touch the tender flesh underneath), and it felt very heavy. Luckily, the pain medication took care of most of that. (I also took Extra Strength Tylenol, but started taking them the second day because I thought the Percocet was making me barf. As it turned out, it was the aftereffects of the anesthesia.)

    Most surgeons will say that if you do ANYTHING, you need to take your pain medication on time, and I wholeheartedly agree. Since it takes half an hour to take effect, if you take it late (like if you decide to let yourself sleep through instead of waking up to take the medication), then later on you WILL suffer excruciating pain and shock symptoms while waiting for it to take effect. Don't do that. Set your alarm and take it. Take it 5 minutes early, even.

    For me, the most painful part of the healing process was when I would sit up in the morning, and the implants (which had begun to heal in place in the pockets) would tear their scabs as they dropped to the bottom of the pocket. It was only a few seconds of pain, but VERY bad pain at that. But then the rest of the day wasn't particularly painful.

    The first couple days, honestly, the tight ace bandage kept me from being in much pain as long as I kept on top of my meds. After that, the sports bra performed the same function, and day by day I felt progressively better anyway. I would say that the day of surgery was the worst, with each day feeling twice as good as the one before it. The day of surgery, I was just out and slept all the time. I was able to sit up on the day after surgery, but still slept a lot. By the second day after surgery, I could slowly move around and watch a movie on the couch. By the third day, I could make short trips to the store (no driving though) and fix my own meals. By the 4th day I felt about 80% and by the 5th day I was helping sandpaper and paint a house!

    So as you can see, the healing process is generally quite speedy and though the first few days do suck, it passes quite quickly. Typically after a week, you're cleared to drive and go back to work as long as you don't have to lift anything over 10 pounds. And let me tell you, that first post-BA shopping trip is the best shopping trip you will ever have in your LIFE.

    Knock on wood, I have a high tolerance for pain. But I would say it was an 8 on a 1-10 scale. Still, the pain subsided a LOT after just a few days and I would do it 10 times again for the same results.

    So fuckin worth it.

    It is different for everyone. I quit my meds on the second day. To me if felt like a super duper hard workout (I used to body build, so I know that pain all too well).

    I've known some people that have a really tough time with recovery. Base you past experience with pain from injury on what you can expect with a BA. Have you ever broken a bone or torn a ligament? How did you do with it?

    I don't know where I would place it on a scale of 1-10. Did it hurt? Shit yeah. But then I've never broken a bone (other than a toe) or had any kind of serious injury apart from some reasonably spectacular bike wipeouts as a kid. I did disclocate a bone in my wrist about 14 years ago. That hurt, and I'd say that the BA at its worst hurt a little more than that.

    Let me put it to you this way. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, or so I think. The implant-dropping I described in my previous post was enough to bring tears to my eyes and make me go "AGggggghhhH!!!" in pain. That was the most painful part of the healing process. But for the most part I felt exhausted, sore, and had no energy, as opposed to being in PAIN per se. It was honestly like having a bad case of the flu, aches and chills and all. I hurt, and the incisions hurt like any healing deep cut would hurt, but it wasn't constant OWWWWW all the time. I was able to sleep soundly and rest comfortably most of the time. If any major pain occurred, it was usually when I would sit up or lay down, but for the rest of the time it was very tolerable.

    It was painful but bearable. I have a high threshold for pain but I'd say about a 7/10. What I felt was more discomfort and frustration at not having free range of movement. If you go under the muscle, (like me,) you literally will not be able to do anything for about 3 days. I could still wolk about and stuff buts your movement is so laboured, plus yur chest feels tight and heavy and you feel out of breath.
    I really do think the pros outweigh the cons. Like I said, I do have a high threshold for pain but its only a few days then you have these whole new lovely nice boobies. I would definately go through it all again no problem.
    Pm me if you wanna ask anymore questions.

    the first 3 days i would say were a 8 on my pain tolerance scale. then when the nerve endings were reataching the next few days and i would get the lightening bolt pains...oh god that was horrid you never knew when they were going to come.

    it is worth it, if you really want it.

    I think I heard the body forgets pain.

    Like you obviously remember having it, but you forget that it was horrible. It's supposed to be the explanation as to why women are willing to give birth more than once.

    and yeah, I got unders and it hurt, but it was tolerable. In a weird way I kind of enjoyed it. It's like being sick. You just lay in bed all day, get to have people fuss over you and don't have to do anything difficult.

    This was especially true for me. I had heard so many women talk about how BAs hurt and didn't hurt. All I could do was gauge the pain based on what I'd experienced before and how I coped with healing in the past. I can see why some women become depressed after a BA, though too. Seeing my body so changed and feeling that kind of pain made me wonder for a minute how I could have something so drastic to myself. Its taken several weeks to appreciate what the surgery did to me. Now its hard to imagine how painful it really was. I would describe it as a 9 for the initial pain and 8 in terms of general discomfort for at least a week later.
    I would suggest that you do it right (in regards to size, especially) the first time. I couldn't imagine having this done multiple times but I know some women do. Its not something I want to have to repeat for many, many years and then only if absolutely necessary.

    Aubreyyy,
    Dr. Lo in Philly did mine. I only took pain killers a day and a half after surgery. He has a GREAT anaesthesiologist and great skill.

    Wow, thank you for all the responses, ladies.

    I've got to say that having read all the replies I can't help but feel really really nerveous about my decision. I've never broken a bone or experienced anything painful so I don't know how I will be able to handle this. I'm determined though. I want them so bad it "hurts", lol. I think the pain will be worth it . . . .maybe.

    I've never broken a bone either or ever had surgery and getting a BA was my first time ever under those bright lights. I'm not gonna lie because the pain sucked - only speaking from first time around. On the 1-10 scale it was like a 7 for me; bearable but still sucked hard. I was on pain killers for about 2 weeks and they were percs. More than anything that was bothersome was the tightness of the muscles and having to begin massaging them.

    It was so worth it though.

    I always thought I had a high tolerance for pain but I would rate my boob job pain as a 10. I felt like I got run over by an 18 wheeler. Thank God I was constipated for the first few days because there is no way I would have been able to wipe my own ass. But, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat...sooooo worth it.

    btw I had vicodin and percocets for the pain and ambien to sleep at night.

    I think I would put mine at about a 7.5 for the first 2 days and then a 5, 3, 2, 1 for the next few days.

    Also, the pain of the implants even for the first two days was considerably offset by the feeling of "WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! BOOBIES!!!!!!!"

    Rhinoplasty was actually not very painful for me. Uncomfortable, yes, but not painful. I would give it a 3 on the 1-10 scale.

    My rhino had zero pain. however my boobs...OUCH. I have no idea if it's because it was my first surgery or what. I couldn't take my pain pills either because they made me vomit. I hurt bad for about 2 weeks. I was up and doing shit though by day 3 in spurts. I have to get them done again so I'm not looking forward to it. It's worth it though IMO

    When I do it over again, I'll have ambien and xanax with celebrex or something. Sleep wasn't easy because I'm a stomach sleeper. It was uncomfortable more than painful.

    The soreness factor was similar to how it feels to do a hard weight training session. The discomfort lasts longer though. i thought the "pain" was interesting. I didn't realize how much I relied on my chest muscles!

    The greatest pain was waking up after anaesthesia. But i was heavily drugged so ... wasn't horrible. i don't remember the day after at all. I don't remember how I got home! lol I guess that's a good thing. The next day was OK, i slept on a bodywedge. Lying on my back was NOT happening.

    I guess that pain was a 10 for me at first but then dwindled. I've never given childbirth and have never been injured or beat up so ... it's the only realy "pain" I've experienced.

    It's not bad. And well worth it.

    I read this somewhere too. Nature is such a bastard making us forget all that baby pain just to trick us into doing it again!
