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.

Hi. You look great. Thank You for pointing out, that people need to take after care seriously. Post op is very, very important. For any plastic surgery. You look great. So happy for you!!

Thank you. Post-op is so important. I was hard and lumpy after week one until I got a few tips on here. You have definitely helped me in the breast department. I love reading your updates and seeing your photos. :)

You look sensational! You mentioned wanting smaller, but i think you look amazing honestly. I'm jealous haha. So pleased your surgery went well. Hope recovery hasn't been too rough. Are you still in pain from the stomach lipo? I often toy with the idea of getting it myself but I'm in two minds.

Thank you. The most pain I feel is from the lipo garments, not the actual procedure. I'm using extra padding underneath to protect my skin from bruising. The tighter the compression garment, the less swelling you will have. I also started massaging the area to prevent unevenness and lumps. Lipo takes a few weeks to months to actual see the final results. It's a slow progress, but I do not regret getting it done. I ate myself into a pregnant lady (big belly) lol
As far as the beast I have to get used to them. They feel heavy. I'm hoping they drop and fluff. I haven't seen to many ultra high profile implants reviews, so that makes me a lil nervous. I that need inspiration!

Ah right got you. And yes the post op massages after lipo are so so important (especially on the stomach) otherwise you could end up with some type of permanent rippling in the stomach. The girls that I know have all had sessions of about 10 professional drainage massages, did your doctor mention anything like this?
Your final results are going to be amazing. new boobs, new body who's this? :D
Haha yes the boobs take some getting used to. It used to feel like I had two little aliens inserted under my skin! Eventually they will start to soften and feel more like yours.

No. He only said to massage the breast. I decided to do the lipo massages myself after noticing the results of the women who did them vs those who didn't do them. It also helps to relieve some of the pain and fluid build up. I'm noticing a huge difference and I'm starting to smooth and even out.

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 :(

I still have to wear the lipo garment 24 hours a day for another 2 weeks. I forgot to add that part, but I can take it off to shower.

I think you look great!!!!!! I almost lost my mind between the one, and two week mark. I couldnt handle not sleeping on my side. That was the worst for me. You will get though this. Think of summertime,,,and how amazing you are going to look!!
March 24, 2017
Thanks. I think I'm at the "losing my mind point". You're right and I have to have patience. Summer is less than 90 days and it will be well worth it!
March 26, 2017
Omg your results already look amazing! I wanted lipo also but I was too scared to do the ba plus lipo with having two small children. How was the pain as far as the lipo?
March 27, 2017
Thank you! The pain is horrible lol. Mostly because of how tight the compression garment is. I actually didn't feel any pain from the actual procedure. I have a lot of swelling, but that should go down in the coming weeks. It's not too bad. I love the results and each day it gets better as the swelling lessens.
March 27, 2017
That's great!. Well plz do take it easy and enjoy the beautiful results! We women are hard headed when it comes to resting even when we feel ok. Make sure you rest so you can heal properly. I made the mistake of moving around soon as I started feeling better ; of course it backfired. I didn't mess my boobs up but they definitely started swelling up & getting sore again lol. Ouch!
