16 days po breast augmentation and tummy tuck with muscle repair
It's been 16 days and I've been feeling so much better. The breasts have evened out much better and so far I am very happy with the results. Most of the time in not in any pain from either procedure. Happy with the tummy tuck results but still have swelling by the end of day. I am unhappy with the area where my belly button ring was as well as my belly button. It seems as if my ps just squished that area into a fold for some reason and made one stitch at the bottom. He told me this would go away but I don't see how it possibly could, as it's just a fold of skin, there seems to be no actual incision. Would love advice on this if anyone else has experienced anything similar. Excuse the lines, just took off the binder ;-)

I'm on my 16th day too, you look great anyways, it's great you don't have any pain, I still wake up like someone beat me up with a bat, but then I get up and walk and feel fine. I still walk hunched and we'll feel ok. What kind of garment and bra did you use by now? Do you sleep flat in your bed?
You know, the only pain I do have is in the morning. So I'm actually with you on that one. Once I'm up and at it, I feel fine again. I've been really trying to walk without the hunch because it kills my back, but everything is tight still. Up until late I'm usually able to walk without the hunch. I'm still using the binder 95% of the time, but have switched to a spanx type of garment when I want to wear something less flowing, because that d*** binder shows through everything. I use to hate it, but honestly, I love it now. Last night my husband and I went out to dinner and I tried to wear this sleeveless outfit that seemed to have very good breast support. I went bra-less and brought an extra outfit just in case. I ended up changing as soon as we got back to the car as it was hurting too bad. So for now, I'm wearing zip up and button up sports bras full time. I am sleeping flat on on bed. What about you? Where are you at with your healing, what types of garments are you wearing? Are you still swelling, sleeping on your back?
pictures for some reason didn't post, and it wont let me add :-( so I posted them in a new update
Did the fold you weren't happy with ever even out?

12 days po breast augmentation and tummy tuck with muscle repair
Feeling much better, a few concerns but hoping everything will turn out good. There is definitely an improvement so far, swelling is more manageable. Had a previous belly button ring, and there's a sort of fold there, with a stitch at the bottom. Ps originally told me that would go away but I'm not entirely sure how it could. Also, scar is higher than I would have liked but hoping it will fade a lot. Had a previous c-sec scar from 4 c-sections and that was barely noticeable after a couple months. Hoping the same will happen. Have been using scar cream from my ps. Also right boob has not dropped as much as left, ps said that was normal and from reading others stories it seems it is. Every day I'm feeling better than the last.

Hi there! 12th day too, you look awesome! Are you able to walk not hunched yet? Do you leave your house? Do you drive? I just had 2 couple 10 min walks outside with my walker, I feel this healing is taking foreverrrrr but well I knew it was going to be something like that I guess :))
Lol, yeah, I knew it would be a hard recovery - I guess I wasn't prepared for exactly how hard :-/. I can walk pretty straight sometimes, but then other times hunched - what about you? Would love to hear how other day 12s are doing. I do leave the house now - had enough of the cabin fever and I am driving. I have resumed most normal activities but sometimes have to take a chill pill. All of my help (with the kids) has been gone since Monday so I've had to get back to reality. Honestly though, it's made me feel a lot better. How's the walking going without the walker? Are you sleeping in your bed now?
Oh wow! I haven't had the guts to drive yet but I will have to do it to day, I don't have anyone to pick up my son. I still use th walker, not inside the house but if I walk outside I have to use it... I guess I'm a little more slow in that department than you but well we are all different. Also I'm scared that if I walk to straight the incision is going to pop out or something?! Haha, I don't want to strecht it too much.
I do sleep in my bed with pillows everywhere, I sleep good most of the time, but sometimes I'm up at 5 am like today :s.
Well Thanks for Your post it has definitely encouraged me to try to leave the house and push myself to do a little bit more, let's see how I goes with the driving today, have a great day :)
Haha yeah I'm having sleeping issues as well - 4:30 today :-/. Driving shouldn't be too much of a problem - but yes, you're right, everyone heals in different ways, we will all get there eventually, lol. Long road to recovery. Hope you have a great day as well and look forward to seeing your updates.
Seriously, you look fantastic! Thanks for sharing your story :)
Thanks!
Did you do a lift at all or just aug? I recently had the DR repair as well as augmentation and a lift on one breast which was droopy. That breast is now way higher than the other. 4 weeks post op and really hoping it drops!! Got textured gummy bears tho so I've heard textured don't tend to drop
i didn't do the breast lift because i didn't want the scar. However, he did use a high profile implant and positioned it differently on one breast than the other to achieve evenness. My boobs weren't that big prior to having children, so my ps assured me that if I went big enough it would lose the droop. Just now they are starting to be even though and I am currently 16 days po. My mom had a breast augmentation about 15 years ago and one of hers never did drop. At her 5 week po she complained and her surgeon told her it would eventually drop. However, 2 weeks later it never did and it was apparent it was never going to. The surgeon localized the area and pulled the implant down level to the other. She said there was no pain at all and no recovery time. I would ask your surgeon, and if he seems to think it's not a problem, you're going to have to have to express the fact that it's not acceptable for you. You paid a lot of money for those babies! And if it does need fixed, he will fix it.
Thx. Yes he said to give it 6 months at least for final result I just really don't want to go under again even for a tiny revision. Pain in the butt!
I agree
