I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op. I've been walking 1 mile the last 5 days (cleared by my dr) and I've been doing dishes, cooking, sweeping and laundry. I feel fine. I haven't needed the pain meds since day 5. Can I go ahead and vacuum now too? And clean my bathtub? I can't stand how gross it is!
I had a complete mommy makeover 3.5 weeks ago and am healing properly with the exception of a seroma that already had to be drained once and I'm afraid is back. Wearing the binders makes me completely claustrophobic and feel as if I am bruised. By the end of the day I am completely drained however I have racing heart/anxious feelings and can't sleep. Suggestions?
I had a Tummy tuck with hernia and muscle repair with a Breast Augmentation (over the muscle) 3 weeks ago. I am wondering how long until I can sleep more flat as sleeping propped up is really hurting my back. I am swelling also and have been told to rest more. So my back is struggling due to being in the same position.
I'm 3 weeks post op and healing wonderfully, no complications and issue free. LOVE my results. My only real issue is the swelling. I know the swelling is to be expected. My question, how long will Swell Hell last? I currently am unable to fit into any of my jeans/pants. I look pregnant! Is there a peak time when the swelling is at it's worst? Not in time of day, but in the healing process. Like week 3-6 post op is at it's worst. Thank you!
I had a mommy makeover 2 weeks ago. I was supposed to get my stitches out (FTT/BA/BL) today, but due to taking too long and waiting 1.5 hours, I had to leave and reschedule the soonest 5 days from today. Should I be concerned? My PS doesn't seem concerned, but I've read some of the docs mention railroad track scarring.
I was out of town when the seroma developed. I just got back and the dr. will drain it tomorrow but I had to wait ten days because I was away. Is this too long and have I jeapordized having a good outcome because of the 10-day wait? It developed my first day out of town; I think there is a quite a bit of fluid sloshinga round my lower abdomen right now. I had a hematoma on flank which seems to have fully resolved on its own, did this cause the fluid though?
I am 3 Weeks PO from MM. A portion of my B.B. scab fell of last night after I showered. It doesnt appear to be fully healed underneath. It is not malodorous and not painful. Any idea on what is happening? Isnt typical healing 2-3 Weeks for BB? Im a non smoker and all other areas are healing well. Worries that my BB will not heal nicely due to this complication.
Hello! I have had a mommy makeover (TT, liposuction of flanks and front, breast augmentation - no lift) and in good shape before surgery. I am on day 18 with one drain left and still draining around 50cc per day... Is my body slow to recovery or is this normal for a drain to linger on and keep draining? My plastic surgeon didnt seem worried, so neither am I. Just curious. :)
