Oh yes! It was such a relief. I was not nearly as sore because it was only the implants and not the mastectomy. I took Vicodin for one day, and Tylenol for a couple days. I was back up and active much quicker. And it feels so much better to have the implants than those darrn brick expanders.

YES!!! Just had mine 6/26. Took Vicodin first day & now just some Tylenol as needed. I will take Vicodin at night if I can't get comfortable. So far, so good. Strong antibiotic, but necessary. So much more comfortable!!! Swelling, so not quite sure what size I am. Getting expanders out is the best. I can move around, my armpit is no longer distorted:) best of luck to you...
