Today is 5 weeks since surgery. I'm still swelling of course but no major issues to complain about. I sit at a computer for work but still swell as the day goes on. I'm wearing a spanx type garment daily and it helps as does massage. My incision is healed and I was completely released last week. I go back in October for a check up. I'm posting 4 week pictures.
My tummy is pretty great, my breasts I'm not loving. They are way too big. I really hope they get smaller, if not, I might have them removed and put smaller in. Right now I'm a 34 DD. I hate how clothes fit around them, the shirts bunch up in my arm pit area above where my boobs start. It's awful. I get so depressed when trying on clothes.

So, I have this big "air bubble" under my skin, when I tap it, it sounds hallow. Its under my bra line on my upper stomach. It's worrying me some. My next appointment isn't until Friday. I think I'll call my PS office tomorrow to ask about it.
I'm also having an emotional day, I feel like Frankenstein. I look in the mirror and see myself pieced back together and wonder if I should have done this. My boobs seem huge, they are hard and make my nipples look huge. I have a huge scar all the way across me that is stitched up and red and swollen and I can't imagine it ever looking good. I tried on some of my panties today and they don't cover the scar. It made me cry.... which hurts. UGH
I added a few more pictures. I still can't stand up straight so I'm hunched over. It's been great not having to deal with dranins. I do have to wear a "spanx" now so that is a pain but better than the CG I see others have to deal with. I'm really scared I won't feel good enough to go back to work in a week.

Your only 4 days PO.... you are bruised bad did u have lipo? just wondering? I just ordered arnica montana its supose to help with bruising many start it before the surgery and its a big RAVE on here about it! so i just ordered mine today off amazon....

Hi,
I didn't have any lipo at all. I didn't expect the bruising like I have. I have seen a little bit about arnica montana on here, I need to ok it with my dr. and order some. I'd also like to get the silicone strips for my scar.
That air bubble is bothering me the worst. It sounds so hollow and scary. Im calling them about that today anyway, I might as well ask about the A.Montata then.
Thanks!

It's still early on. Calm down take a deep breath - it will all be okay. I only had drains for a day and a half - I am 2 months post op - and have very little swelling. You will be okay- the bruising will go away and I bet you will feel better about it all. Chin up - Prayers sent to you.

Thanks,
I'm having a much better day today. It's crazy how different each day can be.

Hope you are feeling better! I'm having a drainless tt and ba on Aug 7th. I'm so nervous and worried about the recovery I guess because I read so many things and everyone has a different experience. Everyone seems to have had drains in their tt so it was nice to read your review. Any more info on how your doing and how your recovery has been would be great thanks!

5 days PO- I'm feeling well today. I'm swollen and bruised, my skin is hard near the scar but seems to be losening up. I can't stand straight yet. If any others had their TT/MR without drains, please let me know. I have questions. Thanks!
