Day 6
$9,500
I had my post-op appointment and my flight home today. My appointment was supposed to be at 7:30am, and my flight was at 1:00pm. I got to the office and Jasmine told me that Dr. Stanton had some issues with his flight/coming back to LA and would be at the office by 10:00. I was exhausted and didn't feel like ubering back to my hotel and then back to the clinic, so I stayed until Dr. Stanton arrived. They let me lay down and relax until he got there.
Once he saw me, he said everything seemed perfect so far. The incisions are healing fine, minus the small abscess around the exposed sutures. He removed the sutures and said the abscess will heal fine. He also said that the implants are obviously quite high for now but they'll move down and settle into their permanent, more natural position as time goes by. I asked him the size of my implants: 480cc.
I rode back to my hotel, finished packing, checked out, and went to the airport. I got extremely nauseous and kept vomiting on the 24th and 25th and haven't been taking many percocet. Today I took one every five hours, making sure I was eating a fair amount beforehand and the pain plus nausea were minimal. Sitting on the flight (5 hours) wasn't that bad. A stewardess gave me a pillow, so I rolled up my jacket under my thighs and leaned against the pillow. I had an aisle seat and got up and walked to the bathroom every hour.
My main complaint pain-wise is that my left leg is extremely stiff. I have a persistent pins-and-needles feeling running down the outside from my thigh and the muscles in my left cheek are extremely tight today so I was walking with a limp. Because of my nausea and the fact that I was working remotely until today, I haven't moved around much until today either. I think walking has helped me feel a bit better, but how I feel tomorrow will be a better gauge of how true that is.
As for the look, I'm already quite pleased. My biggest problem with my look beforehand was my hips. Before I lost so much weight, I had wide hips and broad shoulders. Once I gained weight, my hips didn't really fill out. I'm extremely pleased with how I look from the front and back and hope that look stays. The implant is higher on the left side than the right now, and that side is also more swollen. The incisions are very clean looking. There's a scab where abscess was around the sutures Dr. Stanton removed, but it doesn't look like my scars will be any worse for the wear. I'm extremely happy with my results already and I can't wait for everything to settle.

Day 2
Woke up, took the dressing off my incisions, washed the dried blood off, gently used some soap, rinsed off, and applied neosporin. Looking at the incisions from over my shoulder, they looked fine. When I took pictures of them, I noticed that there was some blistering at the top of the left one. The sutures that the blisters are surrounding are poking out a bit.
I sent Dr. Stanton a photo and text asking if this was cause for concern. He replied that: "It's just the body trying to dissolve the suture knot. Treat it with warm compresses and it should resolve itself in 3 to 4 days" and that it isn't an infection.

Merry X-mas girl! Glad to know it's not an infection! Hang it there. First week is the hardest (soreness) and second week gets much easier. Not as sore in the butt, it's more tight.

Day 1
Here are some better quality photos.
Today was more painful than yesterday. My butt feels very tight and a bit itchy. I'm having a few muscle spasms and a bit of pain down my left leg. I got a peek down the dressing for my incisions and saw some dried blood. I've been checking every time I get up to see if there's any fresh blood and thankfully there isn't. I also got crazy nauseous after I took my meds but I'm sure it's because I barely ate this morning before I took them. I'm not dizzy anymore but I'm wobbly when I walk but my gait is already better than yesterday. Still pretty awkward though.
I took a percocet along with two 200mg ibuprofen and it's certainly helped. I know from past experience that percocet makes me nauseous/vomit and Mindy said there was no problem taking one with ibuprofen. My biggest complaint/discomfort is laying on my stomach as it hurts my lower back a ton. I folded a pilow and have been laying on it and it's helped.
My post-op appointment is Monday the 28th at 7:30am.

Yeah, definitely glad I decided to wait for them. Dr. Stanton said on our phone consultation they'd compliment me the most, certainly seems right

Mindy and Dr. Stanton warned me that the smaller size of the new oval rounds wouldn't be available by my operation, so I went with the off center ovals (older style). I know I'll have to be extra careful in everything. But with your new oval rounds, they're just like rounds. No real complications of flipping or rotating! : )
