The Beginning of a New Journey! - Lubbock, TX

Hello ladies....well looks like I went back under the knife. Right after I had my extended tummy I talked to my dr about doing a breast reduction/lift. I was a DD cup and now that I didn't have the tummy their it was very noticeable that i wasn't very proportionate. My dr advised me that he wanted me to wait 5 mos before I undergo any other surgery because of my body just going through a major transformation and is still trying to heal. Well 5 mos have passed and since then I've lost an additional 40 pounds. My pre-op was 8/6 and how things can change. Instead of getting a breast lift/reduction I got a breast uplift (mammopexy) and 250cc implants. I've lost alot of breast tissue and just have extra skin. So to give me the volume that I want (a perfect C CUP) my dr put in 250cc implants. My surgery was yesterday 8/14 and today I'm feeling great! My chest is very tight but my boobs look nice a perky. Can't wait to see the final results. Also did I mention my dr did a little lipo on my flanks and abdomen what he called just finishing touches from my tt. I'm very grateful that I have the opportunity and very greatfull for my plastic surgeon. Once I feel up to pic taking I will update my profile with new pics of my tt and my new BOOBIES!

Here's a few updated pics. Still very much swollen and the top part of my abdomin protrudes out because that's where my port is from my lap band . My ps said that he will see if it goes down after the swelling subsides (which it does just not completely flat) to see if he needs to to a little lypo in that area. He said in 6 mos we'll see if there's any finishing touches he needs to do and all ill have to pay for is supplies. Have I said how much I love my PS. Lol but I also want to see if exercising and toning will help out with it first. Overall though im happy with the results!

Ok ladies. I felt like I've done a lot of walking...going to the store, walking around the house, cooked dinner, took 2 showers and spent sometime with my niece and nephew. I don't think that's over doing it but I'm so swollen. I look like the pilsbury dough boy. I did see my ps yesterday and he actually removed one drain and today I only drained a total of 25 cc. Which normally if I do a lot of walking I drain that amount 3 times a day. Is it normal to be this swollen? Maybe I'm freaking out a little. Does anyone have any words of wisdom? Also I'm 8 days post op. thanks!
