Surgery Date: Dec 4th, 2019
Dr. Wendy Wong, Monterey CA
Gallery Plastic Surgery
Decided to do something for myself!
Little about me: mom of 4 (ages 10,14,16,21)
3 boys 1 girl. Small Business owner/entrepreneur.
Reserve Firefighter. CrossFit Trainer.
Recently had a breast lift, augmentation 365cc, tummy tuck, liposuction of thighs, flanks and upper armpit area. I’m currently on day 8 post op. Dr. Wendy Wong and her staff at Gallery Plastic Surgery are amazing! Im very very happy i went with her services! Still early in the process so not sure how i like the outcome yet but I’m sure it will be great once all the swelling and fluff is gone.
I’m super active person coaching CrossFit, shuffling 3 kids around to school sports and running a small business this has got me on my butt learning to rest and reflect!

Trying to stay positive! Still super swollen and sore! Can’t stand up straight just yet. Maybe another couple weeks. Still using a walker to get around the house. Easily winded which is weird for me since i usually workout very hard. Humbling experience for sure! Finally forced to rest since i haven’t rested since my first born in 1998! lol

Swelling is slowly going down. Back is still tight and swollen. Abs too. Able to walk without walker, go up steps, shower standing and sleep in my bed (not comfortably but gotta figure out how). I was in a recliner. I can also go grocery shopping with help. Takes longer. I can cook dinner but again takes longer and better with help. Still have tape and will remove in another week. Next appt not until end of January. I’ll be 8 weeks post op.

Finally starting to feel like this was worth it. Still won’t know for sure until i start exercising and testing out the body at my fire department when we drill and train.
Still feeling numbness but swelling is going down (lost 9 inches all around since week 1).
Boobs occasionally feel tight. Left boob makes farting or bubbles inside. I heard it’s normal and will subside.
My tummy tuck scar is slightly crooked which makes me sad... I’ll be asking the doctor why that is like that (maybe there was a good reason for it).
My boobs have marks underneath that i think are from the tapes but could be new stretch marks (totally didn’t think i would get new stretch marks but it’s definitely happening so I’m putting all the scar creams)
