1 month post op!!! My stomach is not as flat as I wanted, but maybe that's from swelling still? I have been stationary biking most days (at least 45 min) to loose some additional weight. I wear the binder while at home, but I've taken it off while out a few times, and wore the CG instead. I don't wear anything to work out in. I think I can start running after my next PS visit this Monday. I should get before shots then as well. Still at 170lbs...20 to go :) I feel GREAT!! I'm pretty stoked about my results and I love my "little boobs" (I fit into a 38 c). Working on upper legs and arms so I hope to start lifting again. I still feel like I healed pretty fast. I feel pretty much back to normal now. I've started using Mederma on my anchor breast scars (3 times a day) and plan on using the strips on TT site soon. Happy healing!!

Hi JenS30. Congrats on your change. We kind of have the same body type and I think we are experiencing several similar things. I also had extended TT , lipo, and BL with no implants. I was 170 on day of surgery (after losing about 25 pounds) and now I'm at 169. My surgery was 8/1. Congrats on getting your drains out so fast. I have one drain and may have it for 3 weeks. PS warned me ahead of time. I am using Mederma and can start strips in 2 weeks. I will also try the marble trick. I like my perky girls too, but do yours seem hard? Maybe they've been saggy so long, I'm not sure how they are supposed to feel. :). Well, continue on your healing and hope things go well!!!

The sides of my breast (bra roll area) are hard from all the bruising and lipo they did there, but my breasts are pretty soft. I've been massaging the hard tissue and it seems to help. Did you have a reduction along with the lift? How are you feeling? I remember feeling better about 2 weeks PO.

love your breast results. Are you going to try the marble trick? When can you try? and how long do you leave it in. I want a wide open belly button not just a slit.

I think I'm going to try the marble trick as soon as this scab heals and falls off on it's own. I heard it works well! I'm debating scar treatment now. I think I'll open my silicon strips today and put them on my breast incision sites.

I'm not sure how long you leave the marble in. I'm going to ask my PS soon.

Post op day 25. I finally got some exercise today (1hour 15 min on stationary bike) and it felt good! I biked for 25 minutes two days ago but I had to stop from feeling strained. Today I could have kept going! I really am feeling more like myself. I'm back up to 175, and I am aiming for 155. I go back to the PS on the 13th, but I think I'm going to start scar treatment tomorrow. My belly button has a scab at the bottom now, and it's starting to tighten up, has anyone tried the marble trick? What's everyone trying for scar treatment? I'm still wearing the binder most of the time, but there's been a few occasions when I wore a abdomen/thigh compression garment instead. I'm still "puffy" throughout my mid section, but I'm sure I'll flatten a bit more over time. I need to jump on the computer and post more photos. Although my results are not complete, I'm so satisfied with the decision I've made!
