I had a mommy makeover and I'm content with the tummy tuck. However, I am distraught over my breast lift. I was a DDD prior to surgery and now I cannot fit into a d bra :(. I also think he messed up on my right breast. Does this look okay? I am so unhappy :(

The first thing I would do is to repeat the blood count to be sure that this is not a lab error. If it is not then you should see your family physician before proceeding with an elective cosmetic surgical procedure.
Your surgeon will guide you on how long to wear the support garment. I have my patients wear a compression garment x 2 weeks and longer as they wish for comfort and support.
Yes, the body typically burns more calories during the healing process after surgery, including a mommy makeover, because it requires energy to repair tissues and support the healing process. However, the increase in calorie expenditure may not be substantial and should not be a primary factor...
