Boob job

 
 
Reply Wed 30 May, 2007 11:51 am
Someone close to me is getting a boob job.
No . Not me.

I will, over the next few days , essentially offering assistance if and when it is needed.

But, honestly, I have no experience with boob jobs.
I dont know anyone who has had them and I dont think I will have an opportunity to talk with her doctor about what to do for her if need be..

so..

Anyone?

I know that she is getting the 'under the muscle' type of implant, so logically, she would not be able to lift anything.
Moving her arms will hurt
Probally not be able to wear a seat belt properly.. etc. etc..


What I am wondering about is if there are dangerous things to watch out for?
Leaks?
Muscle strain?


ehhh.......(sigh)


let the titty jokes begin.

Excessive swelling, redness of the incision site, pus...

Basically any signs of infection.

The other issues (if she had any) would come later - like slippage or breakage

So, I guess there isnt anything too spectacular about getting boobs done?

nothing too important?

just swelling and pain?

I know basic wound care, and I have no problems helping her with that.
Honestly, she will know more then I will about what to do afterwords..

I just.... I dunno...... feel like I should be prepared to do TONS.. ?
I guess not though..

Shewolf, I would research as much as possible if I were you, just to keep abreast of new developments.

Not freakin' hardly.

I always have to shake my head with the concept of getting more, especially when it hurts to do that.

but hey who asked me.

there's nothing much to it. my ex - the Monster - is a plastic surgeon. it's an outpatient surgery and other than some pain and swelling she shouldn't have any issues.

After Your Surgery
You're likely to feel tired and sore for a few days following your surgery, but you'll be up and around in 24 to 48 hours. Most of your discomfort can be controlled by medication prescribed by your doctor.

Within several days, the gauze dressings, if you have them, will be removed, and you may be given a surgical bra. You should wear it as directed by your surgeon. You may also experience a burning sensation in your nipples for about two weeks, but this will subside as bruising fades.

Your stitches will come out in a week to 10 days, but the swelling in your breasts may take three to five weeks to disappear.

Getting Back to Normal
You should be able to return to work within a few days, depending on the level of activity required for your job.

Follow your surgeon's advice on when to begin exercises and normal activities. Your breasts will probably be sensitive to direct stimulation for two to three weeks, so you should avoid much physical contact. After that, breast contact is fine once your breasts are no longer sore, usually three to four weeks after surgery.

Your scars will be firm and pink for at least six weeks. Then they may remain the same size for several months, or even appear to widen. After several months, your scars will begin to fade, although they will never disappear completely.

Routine mammograms should be continued after breast augmentation for women who are in the appropriate age group, although the mammographic technician should use a special technique to assure that you get a reliable reading, as discussed earlier. (See All surgery carries some uncertainty and risk.)
