One week out....
It's been 1 week and 1 day since my surgery and I have to say that the recovery is nothing like I had expected. Everyone kept saying that this recovery would be SO much easier than my lower body lift. Don't get me wrong, it's not horrible, just not what I expected.
Recovery for my lower body lift was MUCH easier than I expected. I was able to manage the pain with meds and my range of motion wasn't too bad. I was moving slower than normal, but was fairly independent. I had surgery on 12/2 and hosted 6 guests from mid-December through Christmas. All was manageable.
For this surgery, there is very little pain, however my range of motion has been limited and I feel much more dependent on others. Now, one week and one day out, I'm starting to feel much better though. I was extremely swollen from the elbows to fingertips and the ace bandages on my arms have been almost unbearable. I think the more swollen I was, the more annoying they were. I explain it similar to wearing pants that are too tight and digging into you. You know the feeling when you finally unbutton them and there are painful marks left in your belly. That's the feeling along my upper arm. It's not pain from the surgery, it's the bandages. Could be worse, right? Nothing else is bothering me - at all. The first few days my breasts were sore - like I went to the gym and really worked out bothering me. Not bad, right?

I had a lower body lift in December 2014 (review...
I had a lower body lift in December 2014 and had my back/upper abdomen, arms, breasts and scar revision done on 4/13/15. Dr. Calobrace and his staff are nothing short of amazing. I feel great and 24 hours later I'm loving the results and I know it will only get better from here!!! I'm so incredibly happy that I have had this work done. I never truly felt like I lost the weight with all of the excess skin. Plan is to have my thighs done in the Fall/Winter.

Dr. Calobrace is nothing short of an artist. He has such vision to make you look absolutely wonderful and works WITH you and listens to you. Every since person I've interacted with on his team is fantastic. Knowledgeable, friendly, professional, understanding and have been there for years (which proves its a great place to work!)
