6 Months Post-op!!
Long time since I updated. I am doing GREAT!! Start back with my personal trainer on Monday . I have gained a few pounds over the holidays, so itine to get busy on this body!! Saw my PS when I was home for the holidays for my 6 month follow up . Everything was great. I had a little overlap of fat and skin kind of hanging over the incision , it was bothering me a little, so doc gave me some fat dissolving injections ( ouch) . He says it will be 4-6 weeks for results. I can already see a difference.!! if it doesn't do the trick completely, I am thinking of doing lipo in the spring. I hope everyone is doing as well as I am.
Happy Healing Everyone ,

He actually offered to extend my inscision or the injection, either one at no cost!!!! I couldn't believe it!! I chose the injections over the "more surgery " for many reasons, I live a long way away from my PS , and it would take lots of planning and so on.... And he did the injections right there on the spot!!

How are you feeling now? Any issues you still deal with? Swelling ect? It feels good to have the outside match our inside dont you think? !!

I am feeling fantastic!! I really enjoy looking in the mirror and that is a first !!! I really never had a whole lot of trouble with the swelling. I can't really remember when the boobies stopped swelling. My boobies almost never gave me any trouble. My TT was pretty painful ( the muscle repair section still bothers me sometimes) I think it masked some of the breast pain. I am 7 months post op now and the boobs feal SO real !! My hubby can hardly feel the implants!! I am back to working out at pre surgery level, working with my trainer 2 xs a week and on my own 2-3 xs a week. I think I might even have a few lines in my abs, lol, working on that 6 pack!! Lol.
Thank you so much for asking. It is a long journey and it looks like you are on the road to a great recovery with FANTASTIC results!!!
Happy Healing,

You look great! I'm glad I read your story. I saw that your breasts, right after surgery looked high on your chest, but by 3 months, they were right were they're supposed to be. My doctor said give it time, guess he was right, I'm just anxious!

3 months + post op and feeling good. I a so happy that I did this for myself!!! I am still having some muscle twinges and nerve pains so I am not doing crunches or ab work yet, but I am mentally ready for that so hopefully it will come soon. I still have a tiny bit of swelling over the hips ( had very little swelling in general) but I have come to tems with that. It all still looks a million times better than before. I can actually look in the mirror now!! Such a self confidence booster for me!! I love putting on clothes and not having the belly in the way. I have been tucking in shirts and added belts to my wardrobe!!! It's so fun to be happy!!!! I still cannot sleep on my tummy and I am/ was a major tummy sleeper so I really don't sleep well, but that is a small price to pay to be happy!! As soon as I can comfortably sleep on my belly I am going to get the best, longest massage EVER!!!!
happy healing,
