Hard to be patient
Sooo my one month follow up is in a few days and I am standing straight finally. I am easily getting up and down from my bed without any help. The pain is fully gone but I do get sharp pains from time to time in my nipples and near my tummy tuck incision. I have two openings that leak liquid and sometimes bleed. I put polysporin and a bandage over it as the binder irritates it.
So is it worth it....?
I know that one month is too soon to tell but I'm struggling to see the potential in the end result. I feel like my tummy is not flat..yes its much smaller than my pre-op but definitely not flat...i guess i'm still swollen? I HATE the pleating near my tummy tuck incision and under my left boob. It's gross!!!
My implants have softened alot and dropped but my nipples are still positioned high. It may not seem so while i'm naked but its impossible to wear a branor bikini without my nipples poling out (especially my left one). It's depressing and I cry everyday!!! My sportsbra doesn't even conceal them. They pop out of everythingggg. Here I wanted a perfect body to be able to wear a bikini, now i'll be wearing tshirts over my bikini... :'(
$23,000...... And i have so many thibgs i'm unhappy with... My butt is uneven now, my tummy is not flat, my belly button is a line, my nipples are positioned so high making it impossible to conceal them, my upper back fat lipo must have been minimal because i still see all my fat around my bra..
I do not want to have to have surgery again...i do not have money to waste or the time to heal all over again...
It's only been a month so we'll see !!

9 day post op appointment
Seen Dr Goldberg on my 9th day post op. I had all of the medical tape and my stitches removed.
Not painful but very weird to feel the tugging as my body is still numb around the incisions.
They were cleaned with peroxide and then polysporin was applied to some of the "oozing" spots. Yes, oozing! Yuk. I do not like to stare at my incisions as ai do not like to see the open parts, the blood, the swelling, the ripples.... Not pretty at the moment but i must say its healing slowly with each passing day.
So Dr.Goldberg again put my mind at ease for now. He is certain that i will look spectacular by the time I heal. He says the ripples in my scar will fuse together and flatten... I asked " do you really think so" and he said " No, I KNOW so". So that was nice to hear. My areolas are not circular they are stretch downward and he says that will also heal go a perfect circle as time passes. He said he did enough lipo (i was concerned i did not have enough done) and he said i'm still 80% swollen which explains why i still feel fat.
My butt is more soft (not fully yet) but the flatter part will apparently fill out. Dr. Goldberg said he put fat all around my butt not just the top. We'll see how it turns out :)
I am still slouching but not as nuch as before. Dr said it can be up to a month that I won't walk straight.
All in all i can definitely say each day is better than the last but obviously not as fast as I'd like it to be. I will try to remain patient and not analyze every thing as I hate looking at my results at the moment. Dr addressed all my concerns and rassured me it'll all fall into place. Even my nipples will drop :)

Almost feeling back to normal
I must say im shockingly doing much better as far as recovery goes. Aside from back pain that i feel from prolonged standing, i feel no pain at all elsewhere. Almost standing up straight. Sleeping on my bed from post op day 6 and feeling great as i sleep longer. I stopped my pain meds at day 6 and haven't needed them yet. I shower independently and feel great when the hot water hits my body... Its not as numb as it was on day 5.
As far as me loving my results...
Boobies:Ummm not quite there yet... I tried a couple bras and some of my large bikini tops and my nipples just dont sit right... They sit right above the rim of ALL my bras... (Not talking bout my little bras either) and the top of the bikini top covers it slightly but if i move it pops out. They look fantastic when im
Naked and braless but thats not wat i plan to walk around everyday in... Lol
Tummy: i am very swolen but i can say my scar looks like it'll heal well and and my belly button looks like it'll be cute n small... I do not understand how the pleaded and rippled skin near the sides of the incision will flatten as skin doesnt just melt n mesh together so that shall be interesting to see. I wish i had more of a waste and i wish that more lipo was done to my tummy as i don't feel flat
Booty: its deswelling .... The dr said he'd give it more colume at the top to fill it out more and he did. However, with the top being so plump the bottom looks flat... This makes me sad as I actually loved my butt b4.... :( it looks very different and i think ill need more fat gradting as im just not happy.
$22,000 is not cheap and i guess I expected a big change. A good change. It may all settle into place as I heal but using my logic i doubt my concerns can be fixed without revisions in which i reallllly did not want to go through surgery again.

Provider Review
I described him in my review but all in all a caring guy who has a gentle approach and not aggressive with upselling. Easy to talk to and answered my billion questions (some silly ones) with a smile throughout the entire time.
