Finally Getting Boobs! - Beachwood, OH

So... I haven't posted much lately because I've been really discouraged with my surgery results. I wish I never had it done. My breasts are almost back to their original size and I still have a belly. I emptied my savings account for what is like a minimal change. It's so depressing. Tomorrow is my seven week follow up appointment and I don't even know what to say. Other people had such amazing results. ????

I had my post op appointment with Dr. Feng on Tuesday. It seems that I am healing well and doing fine. I'm still pretty swollen on my back and abdomen so it's hard for me to see the results I was expecting in those areas. My abdomen is definitely flatter, but lumpy. Most of the swelling has gone down from my breasts, I think, and I am very happy with the results. The pain is mostly gone and I have returned to work. My first day was yesterday and was surprisingly not too bad as long as I didn't have to bend down to pick up anything. I am not taking anything for pain. The worst part is still at night when I struggle to find a comfortable sleeping position.

Surgery was rough. I arrived at Dr. Feng's office at 6:30 and was placed in a gown, robe, and socks for surgery. The nurses were so nice and did a great job of keeping me calm. I went off to surgery around 7:30 I think. I don't remember much else after that until waking up in a recovery room with my mom freaking out because I was shaking so much. I wasn't in a lot of pain because I had been given a block during surgery. Before I knew it I was up walking around to the bathroom and eating a fruit cup.

The block wore off later that night. The pain was terrible. I was given Celebrex and told to take Tylenol for pain and use ice. I was miserable and barely slept three hours. It actually felt better to stand up than to sit or lay down.

The next day I had an appointment with Dr. Feng to check over everything before I headed home. I was originally told that I was only going to get liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and maybe the inner thighs, and that would be plenty of fat. Turns out I didn't have that much fat and ended up getting liposuction on what looks like everywhere. Dr. Feng thought I was doing great. I was really just hoping for something to get me out of pain. My mom drove me home which was about a two hour drive. It wasn't terrible I had several bags of ice packed around me.
That night was terrible too. I slept in an overstuffed chair in my living room. I was by myself so I had to get myself up to the bathroom and back and forth to the kitchen to get more ice.

Day 2 was better. I got up and dressed and went to the grocery store with my mother. My pain was more tolerable and I was actually able to sleep in my bed last night.

Day #3 is today and I finally got to get in the shower. I also got to finally get a good look at my body. There's a lot of swelling so I can't really tell how truly flat my abdomen will get. My thighs look kind of the same and there is a ton of bruising. My breasts are definitely fuller, but again hard to tell because of all the swelling. My pain is probably down to around a 4. I took a few photos of how everything looks
