Umbilical Float Tummy Tuck, Vertical Breast Lift with Implants Scheduled 8-1-11 - Hawaii

my swelling is getting me down . i despratly want to be able to excerize, because of all the rest that i was doing i have gained lbs ! no fun .. when i return to normal weight i will feel better ooh also i havelike little dog ears, they make this crease which makes my scar look way longer then it is -like in the pics from earlier .

PS- your PS did a great job w/ such a small tummy incision!

thanks !! im trying to hang in , i think i just need to stop looking at my body until about six weeks post op, which is not until the second week of september.. patience. pineapple seems to help swelling when i eat it at nght, my belly looks flatter in am . the whole poop thing sounds awfull :/ i didnt know we pooped the swelling out ! maybe thats why its so different lateley lol .. eeww . i cant wait to start getting some excercize and beach back in to my life ! hows everything with u artsy ?

i had surgery on the first so like 24 days po. i wore only victorias secret push up bras before and i was a 32 d , but my boobs were not big before.. idk what size i will be, i am small in my chest, not bust but chest. i went to macys to get measured for sports bras , i asked the lady to measure me to size, she was like according to my tapemeasure u would be a b ! then she was like that is obviously not rite, sooooo i have no idea what size i will be ... probably somthing weird like 32 dd or whatever comes after dd lol , that sounds huge but its not. if i were actually wearing a normal 34 or 36 i would prob be a 36 c or a 34 d . things are movng strangly ... have u haad yours re done ? or any problems ? xoxo

my doc was like relax ! it is way to early to judge final results. it is soooo damn hard not to sit in front of a mirror and nit pick every little thing i see that is scabbing, hanging, lumping, bruising, swelling, and annoying ! lol my boobs have dropped down a ton from the first pics i posted, in my opinion. my nipples appear to be more even, one of my breasts seems to have been stitched tighter then the other so the one that is tighter is creating a little misshape, but i can see it getting better ,especially now that i can do the breast stretching thing . how are your boobs treating you ? xoxo

Don't get me wrong, I am in love with my new girls. Before kids and weight loss I was a 34B afterwards I am a 34AA...so being a 34D or 34DD (haven't offically been size yet) is amazing. What makes me feel even better is the majority comment seems to be, "Wow, they look so natural" I love that. I think they are getting better, but it does kind of seem like the bottom is a little strange. I am just 2 weeks po, so I will wait it out, and keep checking. Thanks for the relief!

hi tara, thanks, i think those after pics are the day after my surgery. i had told my ps many times i need my scar to be low and i am happy it is, my swelling has gone up in my stomach but my breast have gone down and nipples have evened out (so far so good ) . i had huge areolas. i think i told him i wanted them to be as small as he could make them with out mking it so tight that it would pull on the skin, resulting in a wide scar. ask me anything ! ps i had modplus scilicone 450cc subfacial implants . i get my second tube out tomorrow ! yay

I have 475 now so going to stay w that size ... My areola's got huge after babies .. So gross !! I'm going to make sure to tell my ps to get that scar LOW! Well you look awesome ! I pray my results are as good as yours!!!

awww thanks ,its hard not to have such a critical eye on my body rite now, there was so much anticipation and nerves, and now its just a waiting game, i am really trying to remember to judge my rsults in like 6 months . xoxo

hi tara, the frst drain got taken out 5 days post opp and the second got taken out 9 days post opp. i was never having alot of fluid come out, alot of the time it was below the first line of the measuring cup they give us . i HATE needles, thats why i am staying in bed until friday, the ps is going to check my stomach for any fluid aka himatoma. the ps said as long as i dont be active ther should not be any problems. i am following his instructions to the t. valium was my savior at night , i still take it, i wake up around three am sooooo tight in my stomach, then the pain comes, i had vicodin and percocet , for me percocet made me more motion sick . everyone reacts different but YES ask him/her for vailum ps. my computer is acting weird, let me know if i responded twice to this question. I wish u the best of luck !!!! xoxo

i am 5'1 and last time i weighed myself i was 119, im usually a few pounds lighter but had to quit smoking :) ask anything that may help you !
