My first visit with Dr Melmed was great. I went in nervous but when I left I had a huge smile on my face and I knew that it was finally going to happen. He was straight forward but he made me feel so comfortable because he wasn't too too serious!

If there's an odor and pain, that sounds like an infection! Call Dr. M asap. Good luck. :)
I would call too ! Can never hurt to be Careful ! Other Wise your Size and Shape LQQK Great !
Thanks ladies! I'm going to see him in the morning. An infection is what I was thinking as well. I'll try to post after my appointment

Finally got my dressings removed

Hey ladies here area few pics of my girls after my dressings were removed. They are still swollen and funny looking but they actually look better than I thought they would.

Hi, tech. Yeah, they are still swollen. Mine are, too. We just have to remember that it's going to take months to see what the real results are. Dr. M put the tape hearts over my areolaer (don't know how to spell that!) incisions so I haven't seen them yet, but they feel somewhat raised. I wasn't bruised the first four or five days, but I got some after that; nothing major, but some. I guess we just have to expect changes for quite a while, and some of them will be weird. :)

1st Post Op visit

Today was my first post op visit with my doctor. I let him know that I was in so much pain. He removed my drains and changed the dressings and had me to put my old bra over it. Since he didn't have the dressings so tight it has alleviated some of the pain but I still have a little but my meds are helping with that pain now. I was able to get a peak of the new little ladies and I have to say that so far the pain is 200% worth it. I go back Monday to get another check up. I'll try to get a picture then.

I bet getting those drains removed will decrease your pain as well!
Yesssssss! It did decrease the pain!
SOOO happy for you! Can't wait to see your pictures. I'll be you look great already. I'm swollen and kind of squished out of shape, but I still think Dr. M worked wonders on my girls.
Im so ready for be in a sports bra that way I can start to see the results. But I'm satisfied with what I saw today can't wait to post pics. Will you be posting any pics?
I'm considering it, but I have some shall we say issues with being photographed anyway. If I can get around them, I will. :)
Oh ok! Understood!!!! If not judging by all of his work I've seen in sure you're going to look awesome!
hope the pain is manageable soon, you will feel much better when you get off the pain meds. just take things really slowly
Welcome to the family..... CONGRATULATIONS ☺
Thanks so much!!
