10 Weeks 6 days post tummy tuck! Few new PHOTOS!!

Hi there everyone!! I am 5 weeks and 2 days post op now and I haven't posted much in the past few weeks because after having the TT and the left breast implant exchanged due to Capsular Contracture.. I have now developed Capsular Contracture in my right breast. :( I am a little bummed out but I am trying/doing EVERYTHING possible to not have to have another surgery anytime soon. I am taking the Accolate 3 times a day, 400IU of Vitamin E 3 times a day, and I am going through Physical Therapy 2 days a week to have them do deep tissue massage to help try and break up the scar tissue/capsule.... I am being as patient as I can be at this time. I'm going to give it 6 months to see if this helps.. if not, then another surgery may be my only option. Anyhow! I took a new photo of my tummy today and I am really liking my results of the TT. I am still a little swollen, because I still cannot fit my pre surgery jeans. :( That's ok because, I'm willing to wear comfy clothes for the next few weeks longer because I don't want to ruin my results of my TT. I have seen other girls wear jeans too soon only to realize that the jeans actually caused an indent where they were a little too tight on their belly. I DO NOT want that! So comfy pants for me it is until I am get the results I want. :) Have a great day!!

Wow, what a difference a week makes... I am feeling really awesome right now. Other than just a little bit of pain in my back from the lipo, I am having no pain at all. I am able to cough, sneeze, laugh.. and whatever else without having it hurt my abs so much! My back is still numb in areas but that's perfectly normal after lipo so I'm ok, with that. The swelling is still hanging around, but I'm still ok with that at this point. I know it can take a few more weeks until the swelling finally starts to subside. I tried a pair of jeans on yesterday, they were a little big on me pre-surgery... and with the swelling they actually fit nice (not to mention they buttoned around my hips (instead of me having to pull them up higher just to tuck in all that extra skin I had before my TT) I'm sure some of you know exactly what I'm saying! haha!! I have to admit! For the first time, I was actually wanting to put a shorter tight shirt on with them instead of having something bulky/baggy around my belly.. and enough to hang down over my pouch in the front of my pants... what a great feeling!! Well.... have a wonderful day ladies!! I'll update next week!!

Hi girls!! It's been a little while since I've updated.. I am putting new 17 day post op pictures up!I My belly button is NO LONGER offset and it's looking pretty sweeeeet!! I am also beginning to see a little bit of a 'figure' even through all the swelling... I'm still not able to get into my old jeans yet so still wearing comfy pants but that's ok. I think I am going to go back to work next Monday 3/25...just 2 days shy of a month post op. I am also posting a picture of my breast implant (revision) YES they look lopsided, but it's only because only one of my implants was actually exchanged with a whole new implant. (that is the droopier side) and it's simply because the capsule hasn't formed around the implant yet, but after it does they'll be perfectly even. :) The breast that my PS was fixing due to the scar tissue attaching inside causing the scar to 'indent' a little, is a little better however not completely fixed, but I am to the point that it's ok. It's just when I lift my right arm high that it actually pulls in.. and no one sees my nipples anyhow.. so I think I can live with that. I am going to do some massaging to that scar area to keep scar tissue from forming as bad as it did before. Well... we have company coming in an hour so I have to say... have a great day! Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
