My recovery was also pretty easy. Very little pain. I agree with Paige.... it was hard to NOT do things because I felt great.

If you are asking about the exchange surgery from expanders to implants it was super easy felt better to have expanders gone when woke up. Took a few days to get drugs out of system but no pain at all.my Dr want let you do anything for 6 weeks after any surgery which was hard because felt fine.
