Okay, update...
I am feeling SO much better about my decision! I was obviously going through the post-op depression. First, they have settled down and look so natural, just like I'm wearing a great push up bra. In some of my shirts, I can hardly tell I had anything done. It just looks like a good boob day!
Second, my daughter patted me on the back and said, Mom, if you're happy with it, then that's a good thing! :) I need to have more confidence in my kids. They're smarter and stronger than I was giving them credit for!
After all, I'm 41, not 21! I did this for me, not anyone else.
Good luck to you all!
Thanks for your reply. I'm feeling better. I guess post-op depression is real. :) My daughters already know, as they are 12 and 9. As long as we have open communication, I'm sure they'll be fine if/when they have self image issues of their own. My implants are settling and look much more normal than they did a week ago. I will give it more time!
I had mine done on 4/6/10. I had SmartLipo on inner/outer thighs, flanks, lower abdomen. In addition to breast aug, c-section scar repair, and ear pinning. I've been "uncomfortable" (their word for pain) for almost a week now. I have a large amount of bruising, especially on my outer thighs, and my lower back is still very swollen and numb. Nothing hurts worse than my ears though!
Anyone know how long the numbness will last?
I am 6 days post-op, and cried my eyes out for the first time today. I wore a 34B bra, even though I measured an A cup, and got 329 cc's in the right and 371 cc's in the left to even them out. WHY did I do this? I have two young daughters and I feel guilty about the message I am sending to them. I'm only 5'2 and I feel fat with these big things on my chest. I was fine before, and don't suffer from low self esteem, I just wanted to fill out some of the cute tops in the stores. I didn't think it through enough. I know they are supposed to settle with time, but right now, I feel foolish.
