Breat Augmentation

I am having BA Aug 12th. What can I expect as fair as pain goes? I tolerate pain well, but I've heard horror stories.

How long does it take for the incision to heal?

When did the bruising go away?

Thanks everyone.

My memory is a bit hazy now. I think the first 3 days were pretty tough. But only when i moved. If i lay still they were fine. Then i remember about 2 weeks in thinking "I'm bored now, i don'T hurt enough to stay in and do nothing." But I was wary of going out and being bumped into. Then a month or so in i think it is was only once in a while if i reached too high I got a quick pain.

Basically, it didn't hurt as much as i expected it to.

My incisions healed before the stitches came out. (2 weeks i think) Let us know how it goes.

Hi.
I had BA just over 1 week ago, the pain is very mild considering what gets done. I'd say its like an ache rather than a pain. Paracetamols do the trick 3 times a day.

Not sure about the healing I passed out when I first saw the scars.

Dont worry though, Good Luck!
