In the homestretch. 8 weeks post!
WOW! Where to start? I'm incredibly thankful to a handful of PS on this forum for offering advice, it's led to the knowledge that the extreme redness beneath my breasts was never cellulitis or any other infection. It was just extra blood flow to the tissues (hyperemia). Likely just my body reacting to surgery, implants and sutures! After 2 weeks of antibiotics and nearly going on IV meds, we figured it out. There's still redness under my breasts -4 weeks now, but it's fading daily.
I still swell like crazy in the lower abdomen. I only wear my garment when I go to work or am doing a lot of activity at home now. I'm feeling great and loving the new me!
Love the new girls! They've finally dropped and settled, although the right breast is still not fully dropped. The incisions are almost invisible. I still find a random spit suture though.
My belly incision is healing nicely. The scar is still an ugly purple. I know it'll take more time to fade. I still have a few stretch marks that surgery couldn't remove. Just shows how severe my stretch marks were to begin with. I can live with the few that are left!
Loving the new me. Losing writ and dieting. I'm down 20 pounds since my surgery date! Getting ready to go on a cruise with hubby in a few weeks!
All in all, I wouldn't recommend going the clinic route for such an intense surgery.
Ok, tried to post this twice and every time I click on "add a photo" it locks up and closes. I'll add pics later!

Ahhhh, great news about the redness. I am almost in tears over here! There is hope! I think it is blood flow too... I do not have an infection! Happy for you!

Getting better!
The Bactrim is slowly working. The redness under my breasts is slowly going away. Starting day 5 of this antibiotic, only another 9 days left. Just keeping my fingers crossed that this is the last infection I will endure. Doctor warned if this doesn't go away or I end up with another infection that I'll end up on IV antibiotics.

How many infections have u had through the recovery. So weird to get cellulitis with no incision healing problems. If ur a nurse maybe they would let u do the IV infusions urself as opposed to going to the hospital? Hope this clears up for u. I would also ask for a lengthen antibiotics since u are seeing some improvement?
This is my 3rd infection. I had an infected drain on day 8, belly button infection vs cellulitis day 15 and then just about 4 weeks post the breast cellulitis. I've been on antibiotics for 26 of my 37 days post op. I can't help but think it stems from the clinic I had surgery in. Although, who knows it might just be my over sensitive skin and the fact I break out easily from many things.
Well hopefully this will clear soon for u! Look great!
How r u doing?
Much better! Thanks for asking
Congratulations on your procedures. I hope all is well with you.I also had my surgery at CG Cosmetics with Dr. Freiman,and so far so good.
