I am now one day of being four weeks post op TT, hernia repair with MT and breast lift with implants. I am still concerned about my right breast. I feel like it is saggy, I am tried of the swelling and wearing a garment or binder. I feel like I can not do anything without wear one or the other. I start to feel SOB ( short of breath) and not able to stand upright. Can someone please tell me when this will dissipate and when will my stomach feel normal??

Help ladies!

How are things going for you. You will continue to see results for about a year. It gets better and better. The longer you wear your compression garment the better it will contour your body. I wear mines to the gym still. I also still swell from time to time. You look great. I want my breast done with a lift and implant but i am now afraid of enduring pain again. but I want perky boobs again so bad.

I will get bettr and you will start feeling normal but it justs takes time and all of us heal differently. Im standing straight at 19day po. Sometimes at nite wen im swollen the most, im a little hunched ovr but thts usually at nite. My stomach feels very tite at that time. Just give it some time and you,ll be there before u know it. If u cant breathe maybe your binder is too tight. I always have mine on because it feels good to be held in tight.

F/O with Dr. R, didn't see him, but with Amanda. Drains removed and so far so good. I do have one concern about my right breast just doesn't look as up as the left. Hummm!

I had a b/a with Dr. R about 18 months ago, i am close to your size. I had 405cc over the muscle with the incision under my breast. I love mine! He did a wonderful job, I know everyone says this but you have to have patience. Mine were different in size and where they were, but now they are perfect and feel totally natural. I'm sure yours will be too.

You look great!!! I was debating between 485cc or 500cc but when doctor R was doing my marking he said I will really look good with 535 so I trusted him and went for it. I was so afraid they were going to be huge. Yesterday I went for my first consult and I saw them. I am so happy with how everything looks. But the pain is so strong I'm even crying at times. I'm trying to be on top of all my meds and that helps a lot. I Wish you a fast recovery!
