4 weeks
Yesterday I had my 4 week post op visit. I can sleep on my side (Yay). I'm still experiencing swelling from my lipo (mostly my flanks) Arnicare is my best friend right now. My breast have calmed down some. I still have brushing; especially, the right breast. My incisions are healing well. My cycle is a week late. I'm guessing that is normal? I can't have anymore children (surgery) so I know I'm not pregnant! I still feel beat up, but I've been cleared to start working out again, so I'm pretty excited about that! For some odd reason I thought my breast would get smaller once the swelling went down. NOT!! Lol! The doctor had to explain that my breast were really tight under the muscle, so once that stretches and releases or drop and fluff, my breast would stick out more (I forgot about that part, lol). I definitely don't want them any bigger and now I'm comfortable with this size implants on my frame.
Week 2
I still have a lot of swelling & bruising. Monday, I will return to work, so I'm looking for comfy bras to wear and loose fitting tops, hopefully I'll find something this weekend. I can see progress in my lipo, 60% of the swelling is down. My boobs are still sore, but they're dropping and getting squishy. I started taking water pills because I have a lot of swelling in my flanks and lower back. My lipo garment is very loose now, so I put a medium waist cincher I had over it, and a compression band I had from the gym underneath of that. This has kept the swelling done and my belly flat. Your results will not only be based on what your PS does, but also what you do post-op. Wear your garments, and make sure they're tight (lessons I learned from Realself). I also stocked on smart water and vitamin water. I'm hoping I can get rid of this excess fluid and reduce the swelling I have. I'm completely off pain meds and I take my daily vitamins. I want to lose 20-30 lbs by summer, so my diet has been mostly clean. I can't wait to hit the gym.
One week!
It seems like forever since I got my procedure done last week (pain will do that). I guess I'm doing fine? My body aches from the lipo. I'm hoping it won't be so horrible when I return back to work next week. I'm just beat up right now and it's exhausting (to be honest). Pain, pain, go away! I just want to get back to my regular routine, and I miss sleeping on my side :(
