I had a bi-lateral mastopexy on Friday, so thought I'd share my experience in case its interesting to anyone.
I thought really long and hard about it (I'm a mum of two who breastfed for four years in total, and my boobs had absolutely retired from being boobs
), so I felt a huge amount of guilt about the risks of anaesthetic, but they were so saggy and I felt so awful I decided to go ahead.
I was PETRIFIED going in, and followed the advice to the letter (no nail polish, etc). They asked about smoking/vaping but I don't so it wasn't an issue, although my hairdresser also had the same recently and had to quit smoking 72 hours before her procedure.
I'm five days out from surgery now and starting to feel human again, I managed a trip to my friend for a coffee today, but am exhausted now! The idea of being on a stage two days after is unthinkable.
I had an overnight stay in hospital and the hour drive home was exhausting. I simply could not have got on a plane or faced a long trip on the Eurostar. The anaesthetic made me feel pretty lousy too, quite nauseous, but I imagine she's almost immune to that by now!
I didn't have any drains and was quite surprised that they didn't prescribe me any painkillers post-op, I am just alternating paracetamol and ibuprofen. I guess if she made a fuss and said she was in terrible pain they'd probably prescribe her some strong painkillers to get off her face on, but I definitely haven't felt the need. I'd say I felt very uncomfortable in the first few days after, but not necessarily in pain.
I'm still feeling quite battered and bruised, and very conscious of my stitches and bruising. I just do not know how she's so blasé about surgery, I'm glad I did it but never again!
I have to wait five to seven days to get the stitches wet, so am yet to have a proper wash (have wiped my pits with a flannel but it's not the same!) so I am pretty stinky and my hair is greasier than a Pricey takeaway. Again, how she was flopping about in a pool/the sea is madness.
I had two consultations prior to my surgery and my surgeon insisted on a two week cooling off period after the first consultation. He was very frank about realistic expectations of what he could achieve and there is simply no way I could have decided on the day what I was having. He'd taken and re-taken measurements in the consultations and put a lot of work into planning exactly what he would be doing in theatre.
I honestly find her terrifying in how casual she is about this, and I almost (almost!) feel sad for her that she is able to put her body through this so often. It's gruelling and scary and she must have so little regard for her life and her health to have this attitude. I find her hideous inside and out, but having gone through this I truly think this is a method of self-harm that is so extreme it makes me wonder what sort of hell it must be to live in her head.
who cares about nothing or nobody continues with the arrogance. I’m even more angry than ever. Anyway my lovelies, keep doing what you do best at catching this mutilated con woman out. I’ll post when I can. Love to you all.
. Picking him up from Brighton Station to stay with us. Not something I am looking forward to. But how hard it was for him to deal with, bless him, horrendous. 
I got up and went to an art gallery 4 days after and was still a bit out of it and didn’t care about the paintings at all so can’t imagine she will be on stage….Kylie you are right if she is having it done there’s no way she can just ignore the recovery, well I couldn’t have done anyway! Plus my surgeon saw me a week after then saw nurse 2 weeks after for dressings change (going again in 2 weeks) so surely she would have to stay near the hospital or go all the way back for those appointments
