Thanks for your review. I am only POD 6 today. I too am hurting on my right side so I'm taking it easy today. I really over did it yesterday. I was walking straighter and faster. Today I'm moving SLOW and carefully. I actually took a pain med and valium today. I'm just hoping I havent messed anything up. I even cooked dinner last night. Geez, how stupid was that? You look great and it's so nice to read reviews of people who have been through the same thing and are recovering so well. It looks like you didn't have a lot of swelling and you're rocking on the flat side!
Take it easy, don't over due it, I didn't have much swelling, the lipo hurt the most n the drain tubes... Nothing wrong w taking pain meds.. Gotta do what u gotta do:) happy healing! Hope ur doing good!
Can we say fabulous!!! You look AMAZING
Can you please tell me where you get your bras? I had my implants switched out and now I'm having a really difficult time finding larger brass that don't look ugly.
I finally found a place called Change, I'm an I, I think they may even have larger sizes... Took me years to find a store, nothing worse than having big boobs that don't stay in a bra lol
Wow! you are tiny. You look so good. Congrats!!
I see a lot of reviews discussing massaging the areas. I asked my Dr. yesterday and he says NO. Just wondering why so say do some say don't.

What size are your breasts? I just did a TT with lipo and implant exchange, now my girls are pretty large, and I'm looking for a place to get cute bras.
It could be sutures coming to the surface? I got some last night under my incision...they are tender bumps. You look fabulous though!
Glad you are feeling good. You look awesome. Take care.
