Best of luck to you!! As everyone tells u, you are going to love!! I had mine done Jan 30th, 360 cc silicone, under muscle... Love love them! And just like everyone says... I cld have gone bigger. I'm very happy with my results but even 400 wld have been nice. But I didn't want to go too big and the advice from my PS was right on!! I had mommy make-over (mom of twins with a lot of loose skin) and BA recovery was a piece of cake compared to tummy. So I'm almost 6 weeks PO and feeling great... Jogging my 3 miles every morn and getting back into shape from all recovery rest. Oh, and my PS gave me PO bra's to wear and that's all I needed. After 3rd week I was even going without. I just bought a cple of nice bras the other day... 36 full C cup. Never thght I wld fill out a bra so nicely... And the cleavage!! :) Its so exciting and scary at the same time but it is soooo worth it in the end!!! Best to you!!!
I have no idea how to upload my photo's. I ended up calling my PS on PO day 10 because I just knew something was wrong. I started to leak out a part of my incision. He met me in the office and after exasperating almost 100 cc's of fluid, we ended up in his OR and he had to suck out the rest. Total of 600 cc's. He then placed a drain in and I'll have it removed on Wed. which it will be in for 5 days. I feel amazing now... like night and day! I am standing up straight... no longer in any pain or discomfort. I now know that if something doesn't feel right... to definitely call and go in to be looked at. Hopefully it will be happy recovery from here on in...
to runner77... I'm reading as much as I can on this site because I am at day 9 po (no drains) and I'm more swollen now than b4 the surgery. I had a full TT with muscle and a bit of lipo on love handles. It was mostly the skin from having twins but doc recommended full TT. Anyway, I too was a size 0/2 and I'm so disappointed with the swelling. I feel like i'm 5 months pregnant. You posted your comment on Dec. 26th. Has your swelling gone down by now?
Your pictures are great! Gives me some hope that my swelling will go down. I am 1 week post op and i look like I'm about 5 months pregnant. I had no drains put in and I'm now very concerned about that. My belly wrap was taken off after day 5 and I'm wearing my yoga work out pants to give me some support. I go to see my PS in another 4 days and he said he will need to use a syringe to extract some fluid. This is not at all what I thought it would be. I hope my swelling goes down and my tummy looks as fabulous as yours by week 4. I enjoyed your updates!
