At 9 days post op, I feel fabulous! Still the swelling and all but really so happy I went through with it! I actually ordered 4 bikinis from VS today, I live in the frigid north, where the heck am I gonna wear these!!?? It just feels good to be positive and happy.
I had a tiny bit of lipo on my tummy, no bruising or anything but man oh man is that tender...Is that normal? Breasts are nice and soft already, I have been doing massage everyday, and it sure has made a difference on how they feel. Tummy too, cuts down on the swelling, I'm wearing my compression garment only a couple hours a day, just for comfort sake. I probably look like a prego always rubbing my tummy!
Sorry no picture this week yet, I'll get my daughter to do it for me (technologically handicapped here) Have a good day all, be happy, your beautiful!!

I think that's just how some men deal. He might be worried and unsure like you feel now, but as time passes and you feel back to normal, he might be able to voice what he was feeling. My husband is the distant type, so I've come to get that, but it's harder for you since you're used to him being more connected. Remember you wanted it enough to go through with it and its super normal to have these feelings of regret. My surgeon even had me sign a paper with this described on it, saying it was common and temporary. I'm not looking forward to that!

U look good :) I too just had a mini tuck w no muscle repair n no drains. I am 24 days post op I had a small seroma that I had to get drained 3 times but is all better now :) I feel fabulous too but the emotional side has been crazy. I too was very sensitive too my husband. I thought he was being distant too but I spoke w him n he was giving me room to adapt n honestly looking back I believe bc of the emotions from surgery I was being very very sensitive n imagining things that weren't their. My husband too thought I was perfect before but he has told me I look even more amazing now. Also the sports bra does such but also it's the implants takes a little while until they get comfortable. Happy healing girl :)

Hmmmm, well now I'm a week post op. Actually...
Hmmmm, well now I'm a week post op. Actually pretty good week. Still strugggling with the swelling :P But I have an awesome binder from walmart that sems to keep it under control. Remember I only had the mini with noe muscle repair so my recovery has been pretty quick. My surgeon also did no drains on tummy or breasts so it was awesome. Breasts are still pretty tender but not as bad as I thought they should be....Is that normal? Also I have a major nasty bruise on the side of one.
I have never worn a sports bra in my life and the thing seems to be killing me!! Is it just too small or are they supposed to be super tight? I think thats the worst part right now, it feels like theres an elephant sitting on my chest! Is it the bra or the implants?
Physically I am healing well, PS said things went textbook awesome. But I have been struggling more with the emotional side of things. My dear hubby was not for this at all. He has always told be I am beautiful in every way. But when he saw it was so important to me he said go ahead, if its important to you that makes it important. But it almost feels now like he is resentful or something. he will not say anything about wether he thinks it looks good or if he likes it, in fact he's kind of distant. Not at all like himself.He is usually sweet and attentive and complimentary. I have wanted this for so long, thinking always that it was all for me. But what if he really just doesn't like it? I feel beautiful and kinda sad all at the same time. Honestly in my clothes you can't tell a bit of difference, my jeans don't have to adjust for the poochy tummy so they are comfyer but not enough to change sizes or anything. But naked?? Big difference
As you all know, when we go through this it is absolutely all consuming, right? I think it, dream it, everything. But when you can't voice it at all (no one else knows) it gets overwhelming. So today feels dreary! Anyways, be strong ladies, take care of yourselves, I'll post a picture of my new bikini shot at one week post op. Take care

I went with the mini because my PS said I just didn't have enough skin to do a full. that he wouldn't be able to hide the old bb completely. I do still have the stretch marks, but not nearly so many, I am soooo happy with the results! I was hesitant to go with the 300. I was gonna go a little smaller and PS just told me he thought I might be disappointed. That the 300 were a naice moderate size for my frame. i just told him I really didn't want to wear a bikini and have it scream Boob Job!! Some of my family would be very much less than supportive, so I decided just to tell them I was having a bit of a "girl surgery" That definitely scared all the men off (like my dad!) from any questions!! When I'm fully dressed you can't tell a difference really.....I guess a bit but nothing anyone else would notice

your tt looks great-your ps obviously new what he was talking about. i was curious because your before pic looks like my tummy, but i guess i do have more skin so prob why my ps says full tt for the results i want. glad to hear 300 arent that obvious-i am so worried people will be able to tell. thanks for sharing your story-i have so much anxiety over this surgery-i need to keep all these positives outcomes in mind in the fall when i reschedule.
