Everything going very well now. I am still experiencing swelling, but it is much less and am just down to wearing my binder at night and a support garment when I run. I am running my first race, a 10K, since my Jan. 20th surgery. It has been a long haul but well worth it. Hoping to be done with swelling in July at my 6 month mark. Feeling stronger and running up to 4 times a week. My weight still slightly up but am attributing it to the swelling. I am down to size 6 and some 4's:)

had some troubles healing my incision but going well now:) no infections or anything just some sutures coming through, but looks pretty good now.
Went to Florida a couple weeks ago and got my bikini:) It was so weird to walk around in it, but I will certainly get used to it! love the results. Here's my bikini pic.....

things have been going very well, but then i had some stitches that were coming through or left there, which caused a few areas of redness. I took the stitches out with doctors instruction and now am just healing the incision again.
Yesterday, I was getting a burning type sensation in my belly. When I touched my skin, it left marks. However, my incision looks okay. Then, I was reading on here that somebody else had that "Sunburn". Made me feel less worried. Has anyone had that before? What is that? Please share if you have. i will include pics from this morning. Very happy with results, however am slightly impatient and can't wait to get this healing process over with. Anxious to get exercising again!
Should mention, absolutely no issues with the breast lift, and still a little sore and swollen in the flanks from the lipo.

So early in recovery and you look amazing - doc did a fantastic job! Yes the sunburn effect is normal I believe it's the nerves regenerating . I am 10 weeks post op. Continue happy healing
Thanks! So glad this is "normal". Was kind of paranoid after removing those stitches by myself. so glad to have this site:)
you look awesome! great results!!!
Thank you!
you look wonderful. congratulations on your terrific recovery
thank you
Look great!!! Your first pics with all the bruising freaked me out! I think I would've cried seeing all that. You've recovered wonderfully! Feels good huh!?!??
thanks, it definately was shocking lol. I am so glad I did it now. I am now over 2 months out. Feels awesome!! I went to Florida a couple weeks ago and purchased my bikini. So excited - now if this swelling would go away:)
