50 yr old tired of wearing over size shirts to hide backrolls.

So I told an old military acquaintance about my surgery. I've known her since 2008 she was a young soldier then. She knew me as a Drill Sergeant and First Sergeant in the Army. Her reply was WHY? Just because of backrolls. ( glad I didn't mention my first surgeries) She says I never pictured you as someone who would do something like plastic surgery. WHY?? I asked, hardcore and confidence in a work environment has nothing to do with hardcore and confidence at home. She asked would you think I would have breast implants and I have back roles. My mouth said Well, you must have thought about it because you mentioned it. My mind was thinking, add stomach to the list because that tight t-shirt is accentuating all of your negatives. I nicely said I had cosmetic surgery not murdered someone. I didn't harm anyone before, during or after surgery. I also said if your not happy about something, fix it or accept it. I'm a fixer of what makes me unhappy (period). I do understand when people are concerned because of safety. I was just shocked, actually mad by the look of disgust on her face. Moral of the story. Do what makes you happy ( unless it's murder and harming others, that don't consent). Do not talk to your acquaintances about your before, during or after cosmetic surgery experiences because you will wake up thinking about WHY such disgust? First action: vent to those that understand. Second action: not to think about it anymore. FIX IT. Done.

Thank you Dr. Oscar E. Masters of Premier PS in Oklahoma City. Going on 5 weeks and Very,Very and another Very pleased with the results. As explained earlier I did not have any pain with surgery site because my sciatica pain in my back down both legs decided a week before surgery it wanted to be the center of attention in regards to pain. You won, but I'm winning. I see my spinal doctor tomorrow who happens to be the surgery Anesthesiologist brother. Small world. Anyway, I started wearing the embrace scar management system 8 days ago. It's a clear silicone but started coming loose so I reinforced with steri-tape until next week when it's changed out. Would have been on my second round but I broke out in a bad rash at the incision, below and above and under my breast. Itching in lipo and scar area, that means some healings happening, I just take an Allegra for relief. Advice give healing time. I thought I actually lost some butt because of lifting lower back. Nope, got a little bit of lifting. Not as much shelf. ( that big looking dimple is actually underwear rim.) but I do have some dimp-lin going on, should have put what little fat in back to smooth out. ( just can't be satisfied). I know I'm satisfied with my back lift results. Form fitting t-shirts for the summer, tight sweaters for the winter, here I come.

It's been a full week now since my upper backlift surgery. I'm swollen like crazy, but the pain is bearable. To be honest I have lower back pain issues and about 4 days before surgery I hurt my back repotting 4 huge sago palms to larger potts. I'm not felling any upper back pain.I stop taking the percocet about 3 days after surgery. Percocet was playing havoc on my severe constipation...the Amatiza + magnesium sitrate is helping out or helping it to come out. My Empi Tens unit, cold pack , roboxin and 800 mg of Ibuprofen or working the lower back pain overtime. As of today I walked no more with my cane, my lower back pain is residing, upper back pain is null. And my back is SMOOTH. Will take pictures soon.
