Mark W. Greene, MD (retired)

Dr Greene is an absolutely amazing surgeon. The entire experience was seamless from the consultation to the surgery, and the post follow up appointments. The staff and his nurse were GREAT. Always informative and knowledgeable. This was my first major surgery and I had a lot of questions and concerns. I am also very particular and wanted everything to look perfect. It’s been 7 months since my surgery and I am beyond happy with my results. I always get compliments on how natural they look and feel. Dr Greene is so precise and a true expert in his “art”. I would not recommend any other surgeon for a breast augmentation. I was saddened to hear that he was taking his expertise to other area of practice. His work is unmatched and will be missed

I’m a 39yo, 5’6”, 175lb, mother of two who breastfed for a total of 5 years. I’m scheduled for my BA in 9 days! I opted for no lift at this time as I was told by two board certified plastic surgeons that I’m on the borderline but that it isn’t necessary. Plus the scars freak me out and I’m ok with a little bit of sag. I don’t need to look 20, but 30 would be nice! Feeling excited but nervous. Send good vibes!

Finally had surgery yesterday. I went for pre-op at 9, OR at 10, and left the hospital about 1:30. I mostly slept. Even though they’re subglandular, my muscles kill when trying to get out of bed. Today, Post Op Day 1 has been pretty brutal. If I have any advice it’s to stay on top of our pain meds.

Updated on 14 Apr 2018:
Today was better. It’s still rough getting out of bed and the first few minutes of walking around can be painful. I was able to leave the house and go eat lunch, visit my in laws, and make a quick trip to the store. At the store I started to hurt and when I got home I took a 2 our nap. I feel like the swelling is worse today under my arms and it itches like the dickens. They’re looking better today though, not so squareish in the upper poles.

Updated on 16 Apr 2018:
Last night was the worst night’s sleep yet. I think it’s because I’m not a back sleeper. Swelling continues to decrease and more sensation is returning. I’m still numb from my incision to my nipples. They don’t feel like rocks anymore and aren’t as shiny. The itching is also not as bad as it’s been. I am having more incisional pain though. All in all, still worth it!

Updated on 18 Apr 2018:
Yesterday was so-so. I felt pretty good and my energy levels are on the rise,but the incisions are rubbing on my sports bra and it hurts. They look fine. No signs or symptoms of infection, but it’s irritating. Today I went in search of a bra that won’t ride up or touch my incisions. I was hoping to find a sports bra that had some of that grippy stuff you see on non-slip panties and hosiery, but no such luck. So, tonight I took the pads out of one bra and tucked them under each boob and then out on my bra. So far, so good, but not ideal and I’m sure the pads will be in my sheets by morning ????

Updated on 24 Apr 2018:
The past couple of days have been meh. My right side occasional feels as if I have a golf ball or tennis ball pressing in from the outside, and the nipple “bites” when I bend over to pick something up (I have little kids, y’all...picking crud up is a frequent thing!). The right is also a little more swollen, but not enough to think I have a hematoma or anything. Otherwise, it’s just the itching of the incisions and the damn steristrips that bug me. I googled a million sites looking for ONE that said it was ok to remove them (and I’m an RN ????), but nope, not a one...so they’ll stay on until the rot off I suppose. For the sake of prettier scars, ohhhhkaayy. Also, yesterday I was up and about most of the day (whereas I’d been pretty lazy the past two weeks) and my cleavage was hurting before bed. Gravity? Stretching? Maybe. It was enough to take Tylenol and I still woke at 2:45am and never went back to sleep. Tomorrow is the first day back at work. Here’s hoping to two very steady 12-hr shifts. I’m tired just thinking about it!

Updated on 30 Apr 2018:
I had my “2 week” follow up appointment today. The removed the steristrips (Thank God!—they were grossing me out!). Clipped the excess sutures (I had what looked like 2” fishing line hanging out of the end of one of my incisions). Best yet—I can takes baths and get in pools and hot tubs...no natural bodies of water for another few weeks though! Next best part is that I don’t have to sleep in a bra! He offered Neurontin for the nerve pain but said it’d probably subside on its own as the swelling around the nerve decreases over the next few weeks. I declined the Neurontin for now since it’s three times a day for a few months and then I’d still have to wean off. I’m bad enough about taking ANYTHING that often. He suggested I also start putting on silicone tape strips to make sure my scars continue to look good. I was shocked-no more follow up appointments unless I want something else done or I have an issue or concern with my implants! He said that I still have some swelling, but that in a few weeks I should have a pretty good idea of how they’ll stay.

Updated on 30 Apr 2018:
This was immediately after my bandages were removed the morning after surgery. Obviously, they hadn’t swelled much at this point.

First attempt wouldn’t let me add pic.

Updated on 19 May 2018:
Nerve pain is pretty much gone. Maybe a twinge here and there after I do my massages. I try to do them just before I go to sleep so I don’t aggravate the nerves-or maybe I just sleep through it? So far, very happy with my results. Finally started wearing real bras (not sports bras). Most 38DDD fit. I will say that swim suit shopping is a whole lot more fun!

Sometimes this site is wonky with the picture uploads/updates.

Updated on 24 Jun 2018:
I’m feeling great! They feel like “mine”. No more nerve pain. People who don’t know, don’t know. They feel and move very naturally. So far, so good. I’m very pleased :)

Updated on 25 Jun 2018:
It’s surprisingly hard to find shirts that show cleavage. Guess I’ll have to go back and get his one!

Updated on 31 Dec 2018:
I am - 38DDD in most bras. I can tell the difference between the implants and my own tissue and they feel like “mine”. I may need a lift in the future, but for now I am totally happy with the results!

Updated on 30 Aug 2024:
8 years and -80 pounds, I’m still very happy with my decision. They look natural and sometimes I wish they weren’t so big, but all-in-all I’m still loving them. If I had to have them redone, I’d probably go down to 495cc.

I have always been like an A cup. In my early 20's and 30's it bothered me because I never felt comfortable wearing sexy bras. I always had to buy push up or under wire bras that were so uncomfortable. Now that I'm in my 40's I have gained a lot of weight and with my A cup status I just looked ridiculous. I am 5'5 and now about 220lbs. Yes I am full figured with absolutely no boobs at all! So I decided to get implants. My doctor recommended for my height and weight that I could pull of a 700cc high profile silicone implant. So I went with his recommendation. A dentist friend of mine had hers done and the office manager also had hers done with this doctor and has great results so I went with him. I'm am glad I did it but the waiting process for them them to drop and heal are driving me crazy! I don't know if also became the meds I'm on I am feeling a bit depressed. I don't know I guess I just need a lot of patience.

Updated on 28 May 2017:
I still don't think they look like 700cc HP implants but I am assuming it's because of my weight also. I was at 225lbs when I got them and now I'm at 215lbs. I still have along way to go for my goal weight but it's a start.

Updated on 1 Jun 2017:
Today I went shopping for a bra and never did I imagine that I would ever fit into a DD! I am still in shock! I have gone 5 weeks without wearing a bra and I have been so disappointed because I feel like they are just too freaking small...even though I did get 700cc but idk I guess I'm just tripping. Especially cuz I am a plus size girl. They just don't seem big enough but TODAY changed my whole perspective! I tried on a few D's which fit good and ok but the DD's were the most comfortable! I left the dressing room in tears but this time not be cause I was sad I could never find a bra that I could fit into but I left in tears because i finally felt normal for the 1st time in my life. They were tears of joy! So here are my photos.

Updated on 13 Jun 2017:
I still see no difference. I don't see 700cc! I know my last post I was all excited but now almost a few days shy of 7 wks they seem so small to me. I'm literally in tears. RS friends please be honest and tell me what you think? Any doctors out there please take a look and tell me what YOU think?

Updated on 13 Jun 2017:
Here is my proof I got 700cc's. Why can't I see it??

Updated on 23 Aug 2017:
Well 4 months later after my surgery I'm still kinda iffy. I still think they look to small for my body type but at least I'm bigger than my A cup. I am hoping I will have some type of cleavage as I still continue to heal. I have some issues at night when I sleep. They get really sensitive and I sometimes have to wear a sports bra just to be comfortable when I sleep. They are not hard but are not bouncy either. I still don't see to much projection either. Good news is I did lose some weight which I think make them look bigger! I don't know maybe it's just wishful thinking. I lost 12 lbs and now I'm down to 208. Oh also I was hoping to have more fullness in my lower poles but I don't see much. Ok well that's my update for now.

Updated on 27 Aug 2017:
I know there is a difference but I was hoping for a bigger difference. I still keep thinking maybe because of my weight that they don't look as big. I mean I have 700cc silicon implants and I see other pics of women that have the same size and they look humongous! But again they are way way skinnier. Maybe I just need to lose some more weight. But in any case I'm wishing they looked bigger after 4 months

Updated on 12 Apr 2018:
Well here is an update after 1 year later.

Updated on 25 Oct 2018:
I am so stoked with these pics!!!! I just wanna post them all over and send them out to the guy I’m dating!!!! But of course I won’t lol but believe me it’s so freaking tempting!!!!! So I am so happy with my end results. At times during the night there is some uncomfortableness and they kinda feel weird but that’s just on occasion. I still massage but not sure if necessary but I still do. They only thing I have issues with is at times they feel far apart. I think they are but too much under my arm. But I also think that’s just how my frame is. Who knows? But I am still one happy camper!!!!

Dr. Mark Greene is fabulous and his staff is amazing. They take things personally, they listen, they execute well formed plans. I instantly felt at home in their office. I visited several other doctors and my experience with Dr. Greene way so much better. I had a lot of questions, which he took time to answer in detail and in language I could understand. I went back three times prior to my procedure to ask additional questions and each time he and his staff welcomed me. Top it off my results are amazing. I'm three weeks post op and I love my body, it's exactly what we discussed. I'd recommend Dr. Greene to anyone! This team is top notch. Worth every penny!

After having our 3 children, I wanted to do the augmentation and tuck; for ME…because let's be honest, NOTHING was in the right place anymore. :) The recovery was difficult…not going to lie…. but in my eyes, WORTH IT! I am so happy that I did it. Take this review as a personal recommendation, because if I didn't believe in Dr. Mark Greene, his work, and his staff, I wouldn't be taking the time to write this review. I had wanted to do a mommy makeover for almost ten years, and I am so thankful that I didn't chicken out! AND that I chose Dr. Greene to do the procedures. Best money I've ever spent. No regrets.

After breastfeeding my two children, my breasts went from a B cup to a deflated A cup. I could no longer fill out my 34 b bras, and I was constantly buying bras in larger sizes to try to look more feminine and less like a squarish 13 year old boy figure. Last fall, I decided it was time to get rid of the ridiculous bras that didn't fit and actually do something for me!

Updated on 14 Jun 2016:
Here's what I started with...my sad boobies after breastfeeding two kids (what was left of a perky b cup) .

Updated on 14 Jun 2016:
A roller coaster of emotions ...excited, anxious, scared to death...I really almost got cold feet...but I'm glad I hung in there. The surgery went smoothly. It felt like it took 5 minutes...I remember giving my husband a kiss and then waking up and seeing him again lol. The surgery was at 8:30 and I was out by noon. Amazing. I was feeling pretty loopy afterwards ...so much so that I forgot to take my pain meds until Dr. Greene called me at 5pm. That means I must have been without pain meds since 11am! I actually thought I had taken it but realized that what I had taken was the antibiotic!! Lol Anyway, I guess I have a high tolerance for pain? My main goal for Surgery night was to not vomit lol. Saltine crackers saved me! I woke up in the middle of the night with that nauseous feeling and I reached for crackers and a sip of Gatorade...then decided to skip the Tylenol with Codeine and instead took 2 Extra Strength Tylenols. Didn't take the Xanax that was prescribed for the first night...I didn't feel the need to. For those of you that haven't had surgery yet, I highly recommend these wedge pillows that I bought on Amazon (I used one for under my head and one for under my legs to keep the circulation going and prevent blood clots). I even used my leftover crib fitted sheets as "pillow cases" lol

Updated on 14 Jun 2016:
The Torpedo boob is real and in full effect! As you can see, my PS tried lowering my fold on one side to get a more symmetrical look... And now, I must be patient!

Updated on 14 Jun 2016:


Updated on 17 Jun 2016:
Feeling much much better...I even went to a nearby park with the kids. My sister-in-law was shocked at how "normal" I feel lol. I've been on a high fiber diet and drinking plenty of water but even then it's so hard to "go". That's why I figure, light walks should help my out in that department.

Updated on 4 Jul 2016:
Still riding a bit high...patience...there's also a dent in my right side...PS said it's normal because they haven't fully dropped yet and they'll be going through changes along the way. I was told to start massaging them at two weeks. I'll go back for my 4 week post op in another week. Otherwise, feeling great! No pain at all!

Updated on 4 Jul 2016:


Updated on 4 Jul 2016:
Still one is higher than the other ...not that noticeable in person...hopefully they'll even out later

Updated on 25 Jul 2016:
Worried about the visible "dent" on inner breast crease...dr said its not my final result, but it really hasn't changed much since 3 weeks :( I'm still trying to massage it in hopes that it will eventually go away

Updated on 10 Sep 2016:
I feel like they have FINALLY dropped and fluffed ;) time to get measured and go bra shopping!! Still very happy with my decision and the size/profile I picked.

Updated on 11 Oct 2016:
400 mod plus...mentor smooth silicone. before I was a 34 AA. Now I'm a 32 DD at Victoria Secret, but I can fit into 32 D or even C in other brands as well. You just have to try them out! Overall I'm very happy with the size...you can downplay them around family to be not so obvious in certain outfits but then you can really showcase them in other outfits. Hope this helps some of you decide! ;)

Updated on 28 Oct 2016:
Hopefully I'm able to post the pic...was having issues before

I've always been flat chested and felt it was time to change that. After college I started working saved up some money, bought a new car and thought new boobs would be a great addition too! Plus doing it on my spring break puts me at a great healing point for summer! I can't wait to go swimsuit shopping soon!

Updated on 16 Mar 2016:
Went to get bandages off this morning. Very sore in cheats and arm areas. I can hardly move my arms. I'm not in much pain just discomfort.

Updated on 20 Mar 2016:
I'm wearing a super comfortable bra today for the fist time since my surgery. It's a Hanes comfort flex fit and it's amazing! I love it. Adds the coverage I need and just the right amount of support. I'm feeling 100% today and finally wearing real clothing besides pj's. My muscles are still a bit sore and doing curtain things (like buttoning my paints for taking off and on a shirt) are discomforting. But keep working my muscles to they will stretch and get used to their new placement. My implants are still high and can't wait for them to drop and have normal looking breast!

I went to several plastic surgeons before choosing Dr. Greene. I am so glad I did my homework. I couldn't be happier with my entire experience. I work out all the time but still had a pouch on my belly that wouldn't go away. Also, my breasts had gotten slope like (flat on the top) after having babies. I saw 4 surgeons so I felt like I had a good taste of what San Antonio had to offer. The experiences were all different...but without a doubt my experience with Dr. Greene and his staff was way better than everyone else.
I felt an immediate connection from the moment I called the office. I spoke with Sherrie. She listened to my concerns and got me set up right away to see Dr. Greene. I had high expectations after speaking with her. I met with Dr. Greene and was not in the least let down. He was very nice and made me feel really comfortable. He was very genuine. I thought right away this appointment was going to be different. I then met with his nurse. We tried on implants and I really like the 400cc high profile. She explained all the pros and cons of the implants. I felt very comfortable with my choice. She also gave me a lot of written information on the implants so I could make an informed choice.

I was on pretty good shape, work out, eat well, but I always had a pooch from two c-sections in my 20's. I lived in Spanx! I decided to take the plunge and met with a doctor I had several people tell me did wonderful tummy tucks. He was wonderful! He really listened and the staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. I dropped a pant size and threw away my Spanx. I look better in a bikini now than I did in my thirties! The first week was challenging, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I have referred 3 people to this wonderful doctor. Don't wait like I did!

Hi everyone! I've been married to the love of my life for 22 yrs now, we married VERY young. I was 15 he was 18 . We have 4 beautiful children ages 21,19, 8 and 5 the first two wrecked my lower half had surgery already... (Bladder lift and POP) Lol! And the last two and wrecked my boobs. (Going to fix soon) I breastfed for 8 yrs and 2 mos straight between the two! Agh!! I've been overweight almost all of my adult life. I had Roux En Y surgery in 2002 and lost 150 lbs got down to 170. Had the little ones and gained weight again, up to 250. I've since lost almost all the weight 195. My wonderful Hunny is paying for this surgery for me as an anniversary gift. I'm going to get an extended TT and sub muscular mentor memory silicone 800 cc implants as well as some Lipo to my flanks and Lipo to the lower buttocks. The price includes 1 night in the Hosp cause I can't tolerate anything with codine for pain.

Updated on 11 Mar 2015:
I'm soo nervous! I went back to see Dr Greene and his team is AWESOME. Dana gave me the best advice, I was kinda worried about going to church or other places with these big books all of a sudden. She told me to go to Victoria Secret and buy a bra called the bombshell. It'll make you two sizes bigger. Then when people see you tell them it's the bra! That's IF they ask me anything.

Updated on 18 Mar 2015:
I'm having ALOT of trouble with my hernia. It's above my belly button where the scar tissue didn't heal from my hysterectomy. It's popping and hurting. And I can hear a lot of stomach noises. I am only a few weeks from surgery and I hope I'm just getting nervous.

Updated on 29 Mar 2015:
I go for my pre op tomorrow and I can't wait! I'm getting Soo nervous! I'm glad I listened to my friends and had a second opinion. It was SOO worth it! Now I know I've made the right decision! The second board certified PS wasn't nearly as professional, neither was his staff. I was told to undress even before meeting the dr. and the lady who took me to the room was the one who told me a lot of the same things the dr told me he would do. With my dr it was all different. I meet him fully clothed first a we talked THEN he examined me. His nurse washis helper NOT the one notifying me of the procedures beforehand. I'll keep yall updated...

Updated on 6 Apr 2015:
I'm SO excited! I sometimes scream out loud! I have almost always been a big girl but I never had much boob... ;( Well that'll soon change! Lol. I'm glad that I've read a lot of reviews. Because if I would have just listened to the dr's on this site I would have chosen to go much smaller than I am. We'll see.... For now ill keep wearing my Victoria Secret 38 c Bombshell bra! I feel all wrong with out it. Thank all of you ladies that have gone before me, you've helped make my decision much easier.

Updated on 13 Apr 2015:
I've been counting the day for a while now. And surgery day is almost here! I can't wait to see my results. My PS said I would look loke a different woman. Can't wait! I know I keep saying can't wait. It s because I really can't waot!! Lol. Sorry for that. My mind is just rushing and swirling with all kinds of thoughts. I hope I am making the right decision to go with 800 cc's my PS was fine with it. I asked about bottoming out and his nurse said that is be fine. So that helped some but I still have all the answers from questions I've asked on this site and almost all of the drs sid it could happen. I have enough extra skin around my boobs. At least that's what the dr said. So I should just chill! I'm cleaning my house top to bottom trying to get everything ready. I'm posting some pics of me before I lost all of my weight. I weighed 320 lbs and on these pics I had already lost about 40 lbs. I had been overweight all my life, I'm not expecting this to make me skinny I just want to get rid of all the excess skin. I wouldn't mind if I lost about 15 lbs and then I would be at my "happy" weight. Thanks for reading my LONG post. I Luv that there are no judgements. I haven't even told my family for fear of hearing their comments. The only one that knows is my cousin. I guess it helps that they all live in a different city... ;) I can only imagine the shock of when to do see me. Lol. Good luck to all of you having surgery soon. It's Mon and I go in on Thurs morning. EEEEKKKK!!!!

Updated on 14 Apr 2015:
Well today I got the call from the surgical nurse. Wow! Only one full day away!! She called and asked me my previous surgical history. I gave her the LONG list ... Lol She didn't tell me to do a flush or anything so I'm wondering of I should just drink liquids tomorrow?? I had to take half a Xanax last night. Tonight it seems I wore myself out I'm exhausted! Good luck friends!!

Updated on 16 Apr 2015:
I am SUPER EXCITED!! I'm staying in the Hosp overnight. All of the nurses are very sweet and helpful I'm at Christus Santa Rosa Alamo Heights Hosp. Now I know what all the others who've gone before me when I say I feel like an elephant is sitting on my torso. Good luck too all ok you ladies getting outta surgery today. I'm soo sleepy I'll post more tomorrow. ;)

I'm soo tired.. Can't post much today just wanted to post a pic.

Updated on 22 Apr 2015:
Slowly but surely I'm feeling better still taking all my pills. I have to take tramadol cause Im allergic to codene. Anyway I'm feeling better but I've got this little spot on my incision that seems infected. I'm going to call my ps today. My boobs have started to go down some... At first they were both right at my collar bone and now my left one is three fingers down and the right one is two fingers down. According to what I've read that's to be expected cause I'm a righty. My hubby goes back to work today and I'm having separation anxiety. He's been my nurse and extremely awesome helper. I've been taking colace and Miralax occasionally, ooh and I've eaten a few prunes but still no BM. sorry TMI I did have one at the Hosp roght after surgery when the took out the catheter. But nothing since. I even took milk of magnesia last night. What do yall suggest? Thanks in advance.

Updated on 25 Apr 2015:
It's been 9 days since surgery today. Yesterday I went to the dr and he said everything was looking ok but I lost some skin along my hair line and he gave me some other oral antibiotics. Then because of leg pain he sent me to the ER. I have a blood clot in a small external vein (NOT the dangerous kind) on my calf and I need to put warm compresses on it and take Advil for the swelling. And he prescribed some flexeril which I'd had previously and was taking it thinking that I had a cramp in my leg. But I told my PS that I'd had hallucinations the night before, and his nurse also had hallucinations with flexril. So it's a combination with all the other stuff I'm taking that's making me have hallucinations. So I won't be taking it at least for now. Still getting tired and getting lots of rest. But it's DEFINITELY getting better. Oh I was told to change the packing ony BB twice a day and put bacitracin on it as well as on my incision where I lost some skin.

Updated on 26 Apr 2015:
Maybe tomorrow the Dr will take out one of my drains. Its producing very little. We'll see?

Updated on 28 Apr 2015:
Wow went to see Dr Greene today. Bonnie his nurse took out my right drain and MAN! It feels AWESOME to have it out! I was so nervous thinking it was going to hurt but I didn't even feel it! She's awesome! Dr Greene is a MIRACLE WORKER!! I can't sing praises enough! Him and his staff are amazing!

Updated on 9 May 2015:
Well on Fri I went to see my PS and they removed the left drain after a few times of it malfunctioning. It would just start suctioning on its own, usually when I was about to get into the shower or out of it. And I mean a air suction fast too! Any hoo... It was removed on Fri. And at that time i showed my PS how my skin would move and he said I had a wound. And it was deep, all this was under the blackish "skin" my body made to protect my incision. Now he's going to continue seeing me weekly and I have to change my dressing daily after my shower and push into the wound a 4 x 4 sterile gauze soaked in saline water. I'm pretty bummed out about the whole thing but he says there's no infection so we just need to keep an eye on things and it's going to heal from the inside out. I'll post pics tomorrow after my shower. Good healing to everyone!!

Updated on 15 May 2015:
Here's a pic of my wound. I'm really freaked out when I clean it. I've even stopped letting my husband clean my wound. Please ladies take care of yourselves. The dr said that this was a possibility before my surgery and I guess I'm just one of the lucky ppl that ended up getting it. He has said not to worry that I will heal. Please listen to your Dr's and take it easy when you're told to do so. I keep asking him if it's something I did and he says no. That its just something that happens sometimes. I'm trying to stay positive.... ;)

Updated on 18 May 2015:
So... I have an infection! After two rounds of levaquin after surgery. And now that my wound is WIDE open I have to take cipro!! Really....

Updated on 25 May 2015:
Well I've been getting better slowly but surely. I've got an appointment with the wound care dr tomorrow. And my boobs are slowly making their way south. Yay! Still can't wear an underwire bra. ;( A lot of the sports bras I bought that are XL are too small! Wow I never thought I'd be able to say that!! Lol luv the way I look in a bathing suit! Woohoo! At least now I fill out the top! My wound seems to be getting smaller I think that's good too. We'll see what the wound care Dr says!

Updated on 26 May 2015:
Today when I went in she was VERY informative and gave me lots of options. I don't think I will go with the Vacuum thing tho. I don't think I could stand to have a machine on me 24/7 and have to go to the dr 3 times weekly to get my wound checked out. I'm NOT diabetic so we'll see how this option turns out. I chose to use the blue/ purple sheets that are spongy and help with keeping infections at bay. And some other collagen sheet that I'm supposed to put inside the wound that'll help with healing.Can't remember the name of them right now. Sorry. Oh and MAN! She cleaned it out! She used a tiny ice cream scoop looking thing and was scraping ALL along my wound. Thank God she put some lido in there first! I found out that it's about 3 1/2 cm deep and I didn't ask how long. I want to try a few different things first and see how healing progresses then if it doesn't then I MIGHT have to do the Vac thing. Oh and she said that all I have to do is pack it daily with the stuff she gave me and put a maxi pad on my undies and that was the best thing for pulling away moisture! I thought that was awesome! Since I'd already been doing that anyway. I got tired of the gauze pads still letting the fluids thru and staining my clothes and undies. Lol. I'll post more next week. Good luck ladies and hope all of you are healing well.

Well it's been busy around here sorry for forgetting to update. It's been two months and 6 days since my surgery any healing is going good at the tummy tuck area. No more infections. My wound is closing quickly, but obviously not fast enough. Lol. I've been taking my kids swimming and I have to just stick my feet in and watch them. It's torture!!!!! I LUV the water!! Oh well I'm almost there. My boobies are healing nicely but I STILL can't wear a pretty underwire bra. Just saw the awesome Dr Greene today and he said I have to wait. ;( No sexy underwires for me just yet. My boobs haven't dropped enough. Has anyone else had this problem?? The look pretty moan but I can feel that they are still pretty high. Oh and I'm getting SO SWOLLEN!!!! Wow it really is swell hell! I look 4 months preggo. My PS asked if I'd been a lot more active lately and I said yes. He looked at me like.... Well, you know what you need to do to stop the swelling... I told him I get the picture. AND my gym membership has been pushed out till Aug! Can u believe August!!! Man I'm goin to get fat again! He checked my weight and I'm at 193. He said it wasn't bad. I think it is! Even tho I was at 199 before surgery according to him like two weeks ago his scale said I weighed 189 or 190. WHAT!?!? Where did this weight come from?? Oh well I know some of its water but I don't think all of it is. My feet are SUPER swollen too! I'm barely eating even. I don't know what's wrong. I'm just not hungry. I eat but like tiny meals and sometimes I have to force myself to eat half of a child's portion. I hope all of you are healing nicely! I'm getting super sleepy now....

So I went to Macy's and the little old lady there told me yes ma'am you are in the wrong size (which is a 38DDD) you need to go up to a 42DDD or a 44 DDD so I let her bring me some bras. Well NO!! EVERYTHING she brought me was way to matronly and way TOO big! So I left quick! Headed to VS and there the young lady really didn't want to help but did and she said you are a 38 let's see if you're a DD instead of a DDD so I tried on several bras and nope. None fit! Oh well I guess the reason that I thought I was in the wrong size was that I had taken out the wires of a Fredricks bra and they're not meant for that. So that's why it felt kinda funny. End of story I bought two bras there at VS and went to Lane Bryant and found a HEAVENLY no wire bra and a beautiful underwire. So even thought I'm not supposed to wear underwire yet I got three and one soft cup. I hope they settle soon so I can wear my beautiful bras soon! I'll post pics later. ;)
