ok had my ex panders put in 3 weeks ago , now i am going back to have my what i call awake fill, they will be putting in 200 cc's in each side, is it really painful, should take pain meds before or after it is done. And how many days after were you sore?

In my case I had 50cc very Thursday after work for 8 weeks and I used to fill like an elephant was sitting on my chest, but I use to take Motrin 800mg and had the weekend to rest a little, by Monday I was fine. Is not too bad, is like lifting weights, that type of sorness. You'll be fine.

It depends on the individual. I was a big busted girl before surgery. Expanders were put in at the same time. I was suppose to go in every other week for four fills. I had so much room and tissue that all four fills were done in just two weeks with no pain

I had 200ccs after surgery. 100ccs for first two fills then 75ccs for the last two. It varied as to how much discomfort or pain. With the last fill though, I was starting to really feel the needle and that bugged me more. My appointments would be on Wednesdays and by Friday I was fine.

I have not heard of that approach before. Now I'm wondering if you have the permanent expander/implant that's now being used. I had larger breasts,36D,and I was filled to about 750cc before exchange. It was done over a period of 5 mos. I can imagine the pain you must be experiencing. Please take care and call your dr immediately if you have any concerns.
