I hope every thing goes well, I like to know how you make out.
Don't worry about what others say, since you can't "hide" it this time. You may find people are more accepting than you think. Its about you feeling good about yourself
Hi Dixi Chick,
I am very happy with the way things turned out! I ended up coming down 3 cup sizes. It took some time to see full results due to the swelling, so I wore sports bras most of the time. I just started wearing bras.
I went from a 40H to a 38DD (I actually measure 36 around bust, but 38 is a better fit).
The Dr removed 1L fat from each breast, which just made me a smaller version of what I looked like. Another way to put it...my breast look the same just smaller.
I did not have a lift, just lipo. I see and feel the difference
my recovery was not to bad. I had a tummy tuck too and I felt more pain at the lipo sites than at my incision site.
I'm not sore anymore. The swelling is what takes time, be patient
I Still have my moments, more around that time of the month
I know, isn't this site great! I'm 12wks post op and I still get swelling as the day go on, others will tell you the same. I was told you can expect swelling to continue for up to 6mos. Be patient, you have a long way to go. Personally, I wouldn't drive, my dr didn't recommend I drive, even after he took drains out, he just wanted me to take it easy. I hope you feel better
