WORTH IT$10,000
I just reread my profile and thought I should add that my doctor did not do any lipo. He felt it wasn't necessary.
Enjoying the process, even the rest. 13 days post op

Really nice boobs! You look fantastic!
Thank you.
You look great! Congratulations!!
You do too. Are you still glad you did it? Did you have a dog ear or did it flatten out around your scar? I have puffiness on the left side.
Thank you. I am still so glad that I did it. I don't have a dog ear. My sides are slowly starting to flatten out. But I am so glad that I had this done and would do it again in a heartbeat.
You look awesome, my ps kept saying to wear the garment each time it bugged me to have to and then when he said I didn't have to I almost threw it away. Instead I put it in the laundry and before I knew it I was wearing it again at night, for support and the way I felt when I woke up. My doctor didn't mention that he was going to do lipo so I only found out when I woke up. I think because you are not too far out of post op now that you will be surprised at how much of your waist and your belly are still swollen and how happy you are going to be when that really subsides. Avoid the sodium and drink lots of water and watch your body become even more than you dreamed even though you already look fantastic. Your breasts are amazing, what did you get done since you didn't get the lift? As for the incisions I will say look at the pale stretchmarks you had from the babies (and I must say you didn't have many for 6 kids) I had asked my ps if my scars would fade like my c section scars and stretchmarks. He looked and said yep...so go with that girl. The farther you get away from surgery the more you will love that you did this. You could always go back if you wanted the lipo which hurt like the dickens when having it with the ba/tt whew. Can't wait to see some things you wear this summer woo hoo!!!
Thank you so much. I do have swelling even when I think its all gone. And even sitting here reading your comments I have my some timey binder friend wrapped around me. LOL Just like you the doctor told me I could wear spanx but it doesn't give me the same support as my binder so I keep pulling it back out. My doctor told me that I had a lot of breast tissue so he suggested I go with saline under the muscle. He was sure if he filled it to a D that I wouldn't need a lift and I wouldn't feel the implant. I need to post new pics because they have dropped real nice. You look fabulous! And your story was soooo encouraging. I just need to exercise my patience. :)
He did an excellent job and how awesome that he gave you an option that wasn't just to get more money out of you. He sounds great! I remember feeling better everyday unless I overdid it or had too much salt then I just blew right up! Ice packs feel real good when there is a lot of swelling.
And thank you for the compliment, I just love having a body again after the kids have grown.
Your 3 days post op pics are killer!!!!!!!!

12 days post op - I'm going to get my drain out...

12 days post op - I'm going to get my drain out today. Nothing is coming out of it anymore but last week I was still filling it up. One nice thing about it though, it took a long time but I have hardly any swelling at all. So I'm glad he made me wait. I'm kind of nervous of how its going to feel coming out. Will it hurt?
I weaned myself off the pain meds about Day 6 or 7 so I could come back to reality. I am really loving my body. I finally turned a corner. I am so excited about my body!! I keep looking at it and thinking "Is this really me?"
I don't want to wear my compression garment. How long do I have to wear it and what are the benefits?? My stomach is so tight.

I'm almost 4 months post op and I still wear my CG...it will help with shaping your body while you continue to heal. I'm still swollen on my sides from lipo and in my lower abdomen is still numb in some places...Wearing my CG just helps to shape my body! Even though you may not need it remember that you body is still healing and the CG will ONLY help to improve you results..I hope this helps!
Thanks. Doctor told me the same thing today. He said he wants me to wear it one more week at least.

Ok it's been a while, I'm 6 days post op; however if I had made a post it would have looked a lot like thidrighthere, because of the drugs. Yes I took my pain medicine every day on time until it ran out, then I started treating everyone like crap til they took me back to the doctor today.
Most of my pain was from being wrapped up in my binder. From stories on here I thought my binder and I were going to be best friends...not so. The doctor did inform me today that because I have been faithful to endure the squeeze I have very little swelling and I am draining well. So well I will probably have my drain til Monday. I don't have a problem with that. I forgot to mention to him the numbness in my fingers???
Honestly, I went into this thing like a necessary evil women must endure to be beautiful. But I couldn't stop smiling at myself in the mirror today! My stomach is flat! And my breast are awesome.

you look great without a lift - hope that works for me!
Going bigger actually eliminated the need for a lift. I had to have more in the left than the right to get balance. I will post more pics soon.
Your results are insane!! You look fantastic!! congrats!!

WOW! What a transformation. You look fabulous!
