Just wanted to add progress photos. A lot softer, but still quite firm and tender.

12 days post op!
I'm doing great! Incisions look fantastic and swelling isn't too horrible. The stupid binder is driving me insane though. It's just the right length to rub under my bra and the stomach incision. If I pull it down, it starts rolling up.
I ordered some firm control flexees off Amazon that will come in Friday, so hopefully those will be better. I was told I could switch to that type product at 7 days po, but I hadn't planned ahead and don't have any yet.
Breasts are still very firm and sensitive, which isn't surprising. I expect that to last a few more weeks at least. Massaging them doesn't hurt at all, but very light brushing on them does. Same with my stomach. Akin to when your foot has fallen asleep and has begun waking up. Odd feeling.

Overwhelming fatigue
Physical recovery continues to go great. My breasts are softening up nicely, both dropping together and I can squish them a bit now. I'm still extremely exhausted though. I go for my post-op tomorrow, so I'm going to make sure that's not out of what they're expecting. Also excited to get rid of all this tegaderm.

I have a Mommy Makeover with Dr. Wolfe scheduled for August 19th. I'm so glad to hear your recovery is going well and I'm looking forward to seeing some of your before and after pictures, especially since it sounds like we are similar in size.

You will love it. He's really amazing, honestly. I'm about to post some more photos.

You need to take it easy for the first week and rest as much as possible. You've had major surgery! My energy levels didn't return to normal until three weeks after my BA. Best wishes with your recovery. :)
