8 weeks out now, and still swollen. I'm not scheduled to go back until May 20, but may request a visit before then. I am worried about my right boobie, which looks wrong from the side and kinda feels wrong, and then of course, the higher scar on the right side. I know some is due to swelling, but not all. Still, looks a billion times better than before! 3 weeks until vacation, and I hope that swelling cooperates.

I am feeling better about my PS visit tomorrow. I think I may have just taken pics at the wrong angle and with shoulders slouchy. They were taken sort of up looking down. I re did them and while they are off, it doesn't look worse to me than they should be at this point. So, I am really hoping there is no complication and it will resolve as I recover.

Well, the boobie portion isn't going too smoothly....

Well, the boobie portion isn't going too smoothly. I see PS Monday and am really glad I do because I am worried about righty which isn't dropping right, so looks square and WAY worse than at week 4. Nipple pointing totally down, and from the side looks well, square. I hope it is not a complication. They are soft and I have no pain so I don't know. Still swollen as always with TT. But, had fun trying on bras and got one. They look good in those, just not naked. I'm trying not to freak out until I see him. I got some more bras off ebay, much better prices once you know your size and brand. Nordstroms is out of my comfort zone pricing. I did get one though because it is V day and it was pretty and made me feel better. ugh. Recovery is so stressful sometimes.

I reviewed the local providers online, read all reviews, reviewed the websites and each of those I found's before and after photos, paying particular attention to TT, belly buttons after, scar lines, and also BL results as well as BA looking for results I liked. I researched drainless procedures and located those PS's who used this technique. I also called the office for each and requested information on pricing and procedure. At that time, I set three consultations. One with a PS who used drains and two with PS's who did not. One of the PS's who did not, would not do any lipo and also required everyone who received a MM to stay over night at the surgical center, adding an additional 2,500 to 3,000 to the cost. She had no medical reason for this requirement, it was simply her preference. Also, she was newer (the PS I reviewed on that website had returned, she had taken over but the online photos were his work, not hers). I eliminated her. I went to the consult with Dr. Wolfe and was immediately comfortable. The office staff were all friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable and they were very welcoming. It felt like a spa waiting room. He was not pushy, he was straight forward, and I just felt completely at ease so I chose him.
