3 weeks post op...Getting very depressed..

My boobs look like 2 different sizes... my areolas are 2 different sizes. I have an indentation where the drains were. My husband told me I look like Frankenstein lol! Im sure I will need a revision, but I will my insurance cover it? I feel guilty enough for getting this done!! ugh

Hey, B-cup. I'm sorry you aren't having the results you were hoping for, but remember that 3 weeks is still very early in the recovery process. Just because you are feeling stronger, doesn't mean that you are your final shape or size. You will continue to round out and settle. Most insurances to cover a revision and I know that my PS said that if revisions were necessary that he would not charge me for his services. When do you go back to your PS? Have you discussed with him/her your concerns? If not make sure and ask him about it at your follow up. But I would give it at least another two months before you start getting too worried. Lots can change during the first few months, and it can take 6 months to a year to realize your final shape and size.

Almost 2 weeks post op.

I realize the more I do the more pain I have in the evening... I really need to take it easy!
My liposuction steri strips look gross..LOL!! I still feel kinda dirty because I cant scrub my entire body.
Tomorrow I think my PS will be removing the two stitches I had from the drain site. Im a big baby so im not looking forward to that.
I see major changes in my belly! I feel there is almost no fat there. YAY!

2 weeks post op.

Yesterday my PS removed the 2 stitches that were holding the drains in.. he changed my steri strips (OUCH!) amd took the steri strips off my liposuction sites. He told me to start messaging my abs. ONCE again he told me to take it easy and do NOTHING for the next two weeks. This is becoming very hard. I dont feel like I am getting enough help at home. After the first week I was feeling better and it seemed like all the help I recieved stopped. My house looks terrible and its hard for me to sit around and watch it go to hell. Im starting to get very angry as I am expected to jump right back into my old routine. ugh

HI Iowa :)
My pain is worse after I do waaay too much. Im definitely going to be taking it easy from now on. The saran wrap was for the reduction. My PS told me to keep them as dry as possible, So I figured I would try that...FAIL!!! LOL!!

OK...I just couldn't figure out what you would do with saran wrap :-)

Make sure you are getting your rest! The way I look at it is that you only get one chance to heal the right way, so you deserve to treat yourself as well as you can! Take it easy, get plenty of rest, and if you have people around that you can rely on, now is the time to use them! Give youself a couple of more weeks and I bet you will really see a big improvement in how you feel!

I completely agree and THANK YOU for saying the words you just said...They came right on time when I am feeling overwhelmed and under helped. I am getting to the point im just fed up and sick of complaining about how my house looks and what needs to be done.

If your help stopped once you started feeling a bit better, I would do absolutely nothing for awhile and just tell them that you can't do it...doctor's orders. I know it will be hard for you but just let them do it without even hinting that you can do anything. You really need this time. And anything the others don't get done will be there waiting for you when you are all healed up...unfortunately :-(
