Breast Augmentation and Lipo - Aiea, HI

I'm doing pretty good. Still sore here and there but for most part doing ok. I went back to work 3 days ago. I'm soooo glad I had 2weeks off, I needed all of it. I'm glad the bruises are almost gone. I should have taken pics of scars under breasts, they are almost unnoticeable, only thing I used was the tape and changing it every 5 days. My left breast feels different than right as far as size and the air pockets. The air pockets get annoying feeling them every move I make but if that is the only issue, I'll take it. Sometimes I'm not sure if it's the air pockets or what but sometimes because I can feel them it feels like the implant moves around when I move, like the implant isn't going into the pocket that was made for it to fall into. Hopefully not. it's just such a weird feeling from the air pockets. My breasts are really softening up and feel natural. I still have pain here and there but not to bad. Let me tell you I Can't wait for the day I can sleep on my side again. I'm not a back sleeper. I'm trying to wait for my next follow up in about 2.5 weeks or so just because I'm afraid to sleep on my side then the implants move out of the area of the pockets they are suppose to fall into in time. I'm probably
To paranoid to ruin them. Lol but I'll wait it out if I can. We have the adjustable bed to raise head and feet but I've found the most comfy way to sleep is by keeping head of bed flat and using one of those pillow things with arms on it that people use to watch tv or lay on the floor, then have a few other pillows to go on top for head and back. I've literally tried everything else and that is the only way I can get comfy. The Lipo areas are definitely smaller and look good. Although I do swell up in the evenings or if I have been up and about a lot. That gets annoying but it is what it is. Sometimes I look real good and flat/tight, other times I look so swollen and fat still. The garment I wear is a tight one when I work (so about 10-12 hr a day) then when I go home I put on a more cotton type one to sleep in because I can't take the super tight one to sleep in. The area close to under breasts where bra is and then the garment top goes feels like it is raw it hurts to always have them on. I still have not gone without bra or garment for more than about 30-45 min once a day. I may start going without a bit just to breathe more. The incision scars from lipo are getting smaller and lighter on some but others are still fairly big and bright. I still have lumps in Lipo areas, sometimes they are not bad and other times they really hurt. When they hurt I try to massage off and on with a wooden massager with balls on legs of it. That usually helps a bit. I'm still happy with everything. Just can't wait for full recovery and both boobs to be the same and the Lipo lumps/pains to be gone. Now all I have to do is heal so I can exercise and get rid of rest of my fat and tone up. All and all- great job Dr. D. I would recommend him to others for sure. Happy healing ladies, enjoy your new bodies.

Well I still have some pain but mostly soreness and I still have swelling but everyday it gets better. I'm more sore when I first wake up and less swollen and as day goes on the swelling comes back. The garment is less painful to put on now but still not fun. I wear a smaller one with more constriction when I wake up then later in day I have to change out to a more stretchy one because I can't stand the way I feel. It seems to be working well. I don't have lines or anything from garment. I do have the hard lumps and a little unevenness but I just massage it a little bit off and on during the day and it softens up for awhile. As far as my breasts, they are still swollen and big, now that time has gone by and they are softening up, I'm glad I did not go any bigger. They feel large enough for my frame and my back does get tired since I am not used to all the extra weight. Stretching and massage really seem to help in all areas. Over all I am liking my results and I'm glad I chose Dr Dieffenbach.

Yesterday 9/30/16 was one of my most miserable days. The pain and swelling was really getting to me. The garment and foam are definitely working and keeping me more smooth but they hurt. I finally could not bear it anymore and switched to a bigger garment. When I removed the one I had on I could see where it was digging in and bruising me more. I was afraid to change it out to a bigger one thinking it may not hold me as tight and in return my skin in areas would be saggy but thankfully I have not noticed that. My breasts are still pretty hard and high. Although they do have a little softness at times. Sometimes they feel so tight it seems hard to breathe. It feels as though my left breast is bigger and tighter right now. The implants are a 475cc on left and 500cc on right. Icing them feels good.
I am able to get up and about on my own now without so much pain. I have to hold my stomach and breasts while hunched over until I slowly stand straight. The bruising looks bad and it hurts but not as bad as it looks though. I am able to take garment down myself to use bathroom. I don't have the female urine thing some of you have so I had to make a makeshift one using a small kitchen funnel to put in the opening of the garment to make going pee less painful with the garment. It has been a life saver. The stinging/burning under the breasts is no fun. I have my second post op appt on Tuesday (3 days away) praying all is going well and that I continue to heal properly and quickly. The Lipo areas still have lots of areas that are numb and feel real weird. Speedy recovery to you all. Here are pictures from yesterday 9/30/16)after shower.
