Do Fills Hurt...please Tell!



Recommended Posts

i know you have probably had this thread a million times before but ive still not found out by anyone if fills hurt!!

im no wimp and im certainly not scared of needles ( i have my ears,nose,eyebrow,labret,tongue,and navel pierced!)

but still im a little concerned about getting a fill, im hoping for one when i see my surgeon in october, my port is inbetween my boobs (sternum) and you can really feel it underneath my skin, i can imagine it to hurt when they injected it, can anyone tell me if it will!!???

thank you!

I just had my first fill last Monday and really, it was one little prick and that's it. The hardest part was being able to tell when it was filled enough. I would drink 3 gulps, my doc would fill a lttle and then I would drink 3 more gulps and he wanted me to tell him the difference. I think I eventually hit it right, at 1.5cc, as I can only eat a small amount, but Water still goes down fine.

Good luck!

My port is just under my sternum and the doc didn't numb it at all. It's really no worse than a blood test or flu shot. Actually, now that I think about it, flu shots hurt more...

It fills more like a push then a prick. like someones using a knuckle to press against your port.

Over here (Australia) the doc numbs it first and then it is like a pressure sensation - and that's about it.

Vampy, I'm really surprised that someone with 14 piercings would be worried about a fill!! I'm a total needle-phobic and I'm not worried. :)

I hate the little pricks, though... :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
