27 Years Old Slim Female Doing a Breast and Face Fat Grafting - Charlotte, NC

So it's been two weeks already and the healing is going pretty well. I went on my post op appointment yesterday and Dr. Bednar checked out how everything is healing and they helped me take out the stitches. So now I'm starting to apply scar cream on the incision sites, although still taking arnica religiously and applying it on the swelling. The bruises are much lighter and finally going away! I'm excited since I'm going out of town in two weeks so I'm looking forward to not having to cover them up.
The size is starting to go down with the swelling, and it's funny to notice it going down faster on the left side. I know it's nothing to worry about based on other reviews, but I kept wondering if I'm seeing that difference in size right.
The swelling is still there as well as the numbness, but my lower back is not bothering me any more as it did before. I realized at the post op my Medium sized compression garment was too large on me now so now I'm wearing some Spanx I got on Amazon in size Small. They were a little hard to pull on and I do miss the zipper and the crothless gousset.
The face graft is going amazing, I am SO happy I decided to add that on to the breast graft! Dr Bednar showed me where he injected the fat and I didn't realize all the areas he put it (like also my chin to contour my face better), but I told him before that I totally trust his opinion so I am very happy! He only injected 24cc so that explains why there was so little swelling and bruising in the face. I hope it all retains, but for the face I guess it wouldn't be too difficult of a touch up.
I am starting to miss the larger size, since I know it'll keep going down, but even if I have 1/2 cup increase I'll be happy. I was measured as 32B before procedure so I'm hoping for final result of 32C. Still waiting for everything to settle down so I can figure out what the final outcome will be!

So it's been almost a week and I'm feeling a lot better. I've been doing chores all day and trying to stop myself from going too fast so I don't burn the fat from the boobs! My face is still pretty swollen which is not noticeable but My speech is still a bit impaired because it's hard to open my mouth all the way since he injected all around it and I'm the top lip.

The bruising on the boobs is going down, but my inner thigh is still pretty beat up. Right now most of the uncomfort comes from the numbness in all the lipo area and the giant bruises on my thigh, but it only bothers me while getting up and down. Now I'm mostly concerned about getting around in this compression garment in this heat and getting some compression type clothing I can wear in a few weeks (just ordered some high waisted fabletics sport sets, and spanx plus more Large size Gennie bras on Amazon).

I know things are still pretty swollen and I'm expecting some decrease in size soon, but I am enjoying this size while it's lasting! So far the healing and the results are going great.

PS. Downloaded an app called Mips for censoring the nips, also 5 star rating!

Sorry I've taken so long to post he review, I've been resting a lot and spending time with my mom who flew down to take care of me after the surgery (aka spoiling me).

The surgery went great! The whole staff was amazing throughout the process, Joel the anesthesiologist was super calming, Kendall the nurse during the surgery was very nice and even braided my hair (which I vaguely remember asking her to do after the surgery), Dr. Bednar was as usual very straight forward and to the point, which as New Yorker I can respect, and Sylvia ordered lunch for my mom who was waiting for me to get out of the surgery. The only painful part really was not being able to find the vain for the IV in my left hand, but after that everything went smooth and before I knew it Dr. Bednar marked me up and I was asleep.

When I woke up I was extremely thirsty and Kednall gave me two Gingerales with straw (a straw I reused for days cause my lip is still swollen from the fat graft) and pretty quickly after they put me in the car to go back home. The drive to where I'm staying is 1.5 hours and went pretty smooth, I slept most of the way. I didn't have a soar throat or nausea like I was warned about, the pain was bearable just mostly an uncomfortable feeling.

For the first 24 hours most of the discomfort came from the tightly bandaged chest, but it started to go down a lot after I took off the bandages. I didn't have any gauze pads, so I put arinca on the bandaged and thin panty liners until my mom went out to get some. The liposuction areas are painful but it only hurts when getting up and back in bed, otherwise they're not bothering me too much.

The pain in the breast area finally went down all together after about 48 hours, they are just still flattened out to two big domes, which is what I expected. They look great though, I wasn't sure how big if an increase I would want, but now that I see it, I hope most of it sticks!

I've been taking all my meds as prescribed, but going pretty light on the pain pills and the Valium, only taking those as necessary. My mom has me on the meds schedule, and it is so helpful to have her stay with me for these few days, it would be very hard to do this without her.

I used the ice packs for a while. I actually ordered some good ones on Amazon which never arrived on time, so I wrapped two big packs which I get from Blue Apron in flannel pillows and those worked great. I try to get up and move around pretty often, usually when I go to the bathroom which I do a lot since I've been drinking so much water. Sitting on the toilet was a bit rough in the beginning, I tried to use the Go girl device which I ordered due to someone else's review, but ummmm.... I probably should have tried it beforehand cause it didn't work very well lol. So I've been padding the toilet with towels and such to make it more comfortable.

The constipation is deffiniaty an issue, but I've been taken Colace stool softeners and took two Sena laxative pills so finally went to the bathroom yesterday after that.

Going to take a shower soon in the garment and finally see the liposuction areas, can't wait to see how that area looks like, I will keep posting pictures of the progress.
