Breast Reduction and Tummy Tuck - Huntsville, AL

11 days since my surgery. Still lots of swelling...
WORTH IT$5,500
11 days since my surgery. Still lots of swelling and discomfort. Overall I feel happy with my results although I do feel like my doctor removed a little more breast tissue than I had wanted but I guess that's how it goes with insurance. That was also the reason I did the tummy tuck because of the fear of being flat chested with a fat flabby belly from a c-section. I was wearing some 40 DDD and some 40F. Buying bras and swimsuits was a nightmare and button up shirts..now I'm thinking a may be a 38C after swelling goes away. I had 3 drains removed and going to to have last one removed tomorrow and my belly button stitches. My breast look good from the front view (except the bruising)but look small from the side view. Any questions or suggestions welcome .

It will be 3 weeks for me Monday .. The surgery is painful but tolerated with pain meds..I still can't stand up straight which is aggravating..skin burns a bit from lipo..wounds seem to be healing well..will upload new pics today

Still dealing with swelling but was able to sleep with my post op bra to see if it would help with the swelling up under my arms..I have the feeling that I have an extra boob under my arm because that's the area of lipo and there is still swelling issues. It did seem to help some. They feel hard like fake breast and I'm hoping that goes away..but overall happy with my decision

It looks great! Do you know how much your doctor removed? I have insurance approval but the 575g requirement is making me want to pay out of pocket to remove less.

525 and 515 I totally understand ..that's exactly why I did tummy tuck also. Didn't wanna look like a barrel. I wore a 40 f and some ddd and now I'm a full c cup but I have been told that breast tissue is known about coming back and have two friends that went from c to d within a few years of surgery. At first I was disappointed but now I'm feeling better about it :) hope this makes u feel at ease..

I'm having lipo under the arms, too. I call it my 'side boob' :) Do you feel a difference already with that area lipo'd, or is it still too swollen to notice that it's gone down? I'm pretty excited to lose that roll. I don't remember what it's like to have my arms at my side!

Honestly I didn't have a lot of fat there but now I feel I have a lot but its definitely due to swelling because I've been wearing sports bras instead of surgical bra because the one they sent me home in was too little..last nite I decided to give the surgical bra a second chance to see if it would hold down the swelling under my arm and it did..gonna check with my ps about getting a larger cup size in surgical bra
