How are you feeling? Are you very sore? I'm going in for my redo in less than 2 weeks..but I'm having a capsulotomy along with bigger implants. I'm hoping the recovery won't be nearly as bad as the first set. So...was it bad?

Well im on Day 3 and its been okay so far. Every time I think im getting a lot better I start to feel different pains so who knows what's next. My 1st BA I had Overs and this time is Unders and there is different but more in size. I didnt swell up this much the first time.. I hope you have a smooth recovery though and let me know if you have any questions that I can help you with..

Congrats on your redo! How is the pain? Are you able to use the bathroom and get off the bed by yourself after surgery? I remember my husband had to help me with the bathroom. Is it better than the first time? I'm planning to get a redo in oct or nov, and only taking a total of 4 days off. Do you think it will be ok to return to work on the fifth day?

Hi Goofygurl! I went from overs to unders and I think there is a difference. Not TOO much. To be honest my 1st was 400cc and 2nd was 660cc. My ribs are taking the beating for that. Breathing is slightly heavy but for both 1st and 2nd BA. I think the downside to Unders is the waiting to see the results opposed to Overs. You could see results dramatically within the 1st week. And depends on your work and what you do? I do office work so its that not too straining so i can manage. But I would just take at LEAST 6 days. Just to be safe. Reason for me is being my muscle is still pretty tense and I wouldn't want to prolong my healing if I didn't have to. Their was a girl on here that went back to work as a waitress kinda early and if I could remember right she said that her muscle was hurting by the time she got home. I took a whole week off just to be safe so if you can do it BUT if not, you'll survive(and depending on what you do too).. Hope that helps.
