Hey so I am 29 yrs old and a mother of 2. I had been wanting a tummy tuck and breast augmentation for a few years and finally it was financially feasible. My surgery was on April 30th. So today I am Post op 5 days. I am doing very well pain wise. I haven't had anything since yesterday morning and that was only one muscle relaxer. I am walking around a bit but not straight up and that is really annoying. My back kills and I think if not for that I would be doing much better. My first po appointment is tomorrow so I will try and update on that.

I am currently on post op day 11 and feeling pretty good. The main thing right now is swelling and just getting tired easily. I am really looking forward to this whole swelling stage to go on feel pregnant sometimes and I feel like I look like it. Even with all of this I know I did the right thing and am still looking forward to flatter days ahead. One more exciting thing, I got my drains taken out on day 8. My goodness I felt 10 times better without those things hanging outta me.

Hey Girlie welcome to the community. The swelling will bother you for a while but try not to think about it so much. Just know that it will go down and soon you will be back to normal. This is one of the annoyances of the recovery but temporary.
Yes, getting the drains out is always a big uplift for the mood!! Keep us up to date:)

Yes the swelling is definitely a pain. Still quite swollen but I am noticing a slight decrease each day.

Yes time will heal! Hang in there and start thinking about all the shopping you can do in a while:)

You look great :). I will follow your progress! My swelling is driving me nuts. It's worse on the right and pushing my bb over so its not centered... :(

Thank you! I looked at your photos and you look great as well! Seriously this swelling is the worst! I'm swelling more on my left side. It's not messing with my bb maybe just making it more of an outtie. I have been noticing though a slight decrease in swelling as the days go by.

Hello. What is your weight and height? Your belly was pretty flat to start with too, already looking awesome though. What type of implant did you have and how many cc?
May 15, 2013
I'm 5'5 165. It was decent standing up but I've lost over 100lbs and bending/twisting would leave me with saggy hanging skin from my ribs to my nether region. Thank you! My implant is smooth round silicone gel. I don't know exact cc amounts, I'm going to my PS tomorrow for my 2 week check and stitches so I'll ask him.

What was the pain like from tummy tuck and did u get a full or mini tuck?? Dr Baker has done 2 breast Augs on me. I'm 3 months postop from breast revision. I changed from 360cc Saline I had done 15 years ago to the Inspira 560cc Silicone. I know Dr. Baker does great work!

Had my 2 week po app. Everything is healing beautifully doctor says. I'm actually really noticing the change in swelling, I just have to remember that I am ONLY 2 weeks out so just give my body some time and it will end up good. I squeezed my butt in some jean capris so I'm happy I can wear something other than yoga pants. I hate wearing yoga pants BC the garment I wear is like a topless bathing suit and it gives me this weird butt cheeck ripple thing. Haha I'm doing pretty good, I just notice if I've been going all day, very tired like right now.
