    Default Future BA recovery- I NEED ADVICE!!!

    Ok, guys. Five years ago (at the ripe old age of 19) I got 300cc saline implants. The first month or so after surgery I was MISERABLE, but once the pain/boredom/swelling passed I grew to appreciate my nice full C's.

    Well, since then I have been in a major car accident + I am highly active, so the implants have sustained a lot of trauma. Statistically, its only a matter of time before one of the implants ruptures and I have to get them replaced-spur of the moment. (Of course, this will happen to me at the most convenient time, too. Like when I'm on vacation or right in the middle of the busy season.)

    So, I have decided that I would like to replace my implants at the end of November. (Probably silicone cohesive gels/ crease incision? 6-650ccs???) I am still working out how I'm going to afford the surgery and bills during all that time off of work, but in a long run I think it will be well worth the cost.

    My big issue is, I DREAD the recovery. When I got my first set of implants I was throwing up everything I ate for 4 days before we figured out the pain meds were making me sick. And my precious breasts were so big and swollen, and sore for over a month... It was awful.

    This time I'm trying to prepare myself better for the first few weeks after surgery.

    Does anybody have any suggestions to make my recovery a little less unpleasant/ ideas of things to do while I am healing?

    I think the only thing that got me through my last surgery was one of my boyfriend's friends (NOT EVEN MY OWN BOYFRIEND) called me up every single day and spent 10 or 15 minutes talking to me on the phone. Even though we just chatted about work and sports, his phone call was the best part of my day every day. (Can you guess which one of the two I'm still friends with? lol!)

    Anyway, bottom line:

    1. Do you guys have any ideas about how to make my recovery go by quicker and easier? I'm scared and I need all the help I can get!!!

    Just my opinion, but I would think the second BA would be a lot less painful than the first one. When I got my first one done I was out clubbing in five days, so the recovery process was quick for me. Obviously, these things differ from person-to-person.

    It sounds like you need a friend to come and help you out after the surgery. Maybe have someone to go home with you that day and stay that night, and then someone to come visit the next day or two. Other than that I think you should be able to handle it.

    The girls I know who have gotten a second set of implants have had a quicker and smoother recovery than their first. But this is not always true for everyone.

    I'm just gonna echo what Andygirl said, have a friend stay with you and help you out.

    WHAT!!!?

    When did this little decision come about? This coming from the person who was against me getting mine redone bigger?

    Are you planning on going back out East for the upgrade? Why through the crease? Of course, yours look awesome just the way the are, but I understand!

    Ha-ha, well we can be recovery buddies! I'll call you everyday!

    I just got my second BA after having a rupture. I had a similar experience to you the first time. The vicoden made me so sick I only took it for the first day and I was pretty miserable the whole first week. This time I was feeling good by the 2nd or 3rd day and the BA redo wasn't even the only thing I had done! I went up in size too and it still was a pretty easy recovery.

    Do you know of a pain med that works well for you? I know that the only thing that 100% for sure won't make me sick is Tylenol 4 with codine. My doctor was trying to write me a script for something else but I told him about that and he was more than happy to give me the 4's. Also think of it this way the pocket is already there it just has to be made bigger so your chest muscles shouldn't be as sore this time around.

    Good luck!
