6 Week Update
I can hardly believe how quickly time flies. It has been 6 weeks since my surgery and I am doing pretty well. Admittedly, I've had some emotional ups and downs, and I'm I'm not happy with the shape of my breasts, but I know that I am still healing and won't see the final results for several months. Fortunately, my PS is wonderful and will work with me so that I am happy in the end.
Addressing the shape, they are still rounding out where the incisions meet so I'm not terribly concerned about that, but the fullness on the sides look odd to me. They just seem very "heavy." I've posted pics and would love to hear what you think. Perhaps I'm being overly critical.
As for my lipo and fat grafting, my results are mixed. I am pleased with the lipo for the most part. I can definitely see a difference in my shape around the hips where I had pretty bad saddlebags. Now it's up to me to get back in the gym and tone things up. The fat grafting has been 50% successful. One side of my face has held up well while the other has mostly absorbed. I'm disappointed, but my PS will go back in and try again in a few months. Hopefully a second treatment will hold in that area. No pics on lipo or grafting today, but I will post later.
Overall, I'm still happy I did this. It is quite nice not having my breast hanging down to my belly button. If for nothing else, that has been worth it.

First Post Op Dr Appt
Had a really good appointment with my PS today and am starting to feel human again. He tells me I am progressing nicely and has released me to purchase comfortable bras and compression garments. I'm scheduled to see him again in 2.5 weeks and he'll remove the tape. We talked about the fullness on the side of my breasts and he agrees that if that doesn't go down (I'm still swollen) that he will likely do a bit of lipo for contouring. My doctor is amazing! :-)
Went to WalMart after my appointment and bought 2 body shapers, 2 capri length fitted workout pants with good lycra/spandex for compression and 6 bras. Holy cow are the bras comfy. They give good support and were CHEAP! I highly recommend the Simply Basic, Simply Comfort line. I've attached a picture. They have a model that has the eye hooks in the front and has removable cup inserts. Since I'm still tender, I have left the insert in to give me a bit of padding. I cannot stress how comfortable this bra is. And yes, that really is the price... $5.98!
Nothing else really to report other than my allergy rash is finally going away, and not much has changed with my breasts or my lipo (I'm a bit more purple than before). I'll post pictures of the girls once the tape is removed. I'm anxious to see my incisions so it'll be a long 2.5 weeks. Be well!

This Time Last Week
This time last week I was on my way home from the hospital. I can't believe it's been a week! things have been progressing pretty well. Other than a pesky rash due to an allergy to my antibiotics, I'm healing nicely and relatively pain free. Been pretty drugged up on Benadryl for the last couple of days, so I'm sleeping more than usual, but I suppose that's good for my recovery. I'm looking forward to my post-op appointment with my PS in two days. I don't expect any major changes, but it will be good to hear from him how he thinks I'm progressing. Maybe I'll ask him for a steroid shot for my itchy rash... it's driving me crazy. No photos today as there isn't really much change other than a little bruising on my breasts. Will check back in after my dr. appt.
