Four weeks post-op
WORTH IT$14,500
Feeling great! Went out last night with friends and danced a bit too much. I’m pretty sore today. I wear my garment almost 10-12 hours a day. Try to take off on Sundays. I’m looking forward to working out in a couple of weeks. Still swelling of course and it’s still pretty hard under the TT incision.

Ball-like bulge under a part of my incision?
Is it common to have a ball-like bulge under my incision? Feels about the size of a bouncie ball out of a gumball machine, or an everlasting gobstopper :)
My next appointment isn’t until 11/30 and I’m not sure if I should be concerned

I can see it and I have something like that on me too... it feels like tissue
Sorry to hear you are dealing with the lump in your incision
How are you feeling at almost three weeks post op? Do you work outside the home? I had s consult with bengston but cancelled out of fear of recovery time. I am not afraid of pain, I just really do t want to take more than two weeks off
I feel great. I have been able to stand straight since day one, stopped taking meds after four days, never had back pain. I think my biggest struggle the first two weeks was sleeping comfortably. I’m a side sleeper and that wasn’t an option. I just started to be able to this week. I was just tired from barely sleeping at night. I actually drive a lot for work but it hasn’t been bad at all. I had thought I’d needed more time too and was going there take four weeks but I didn’t need it. The swelling sucks though since I had to go buy stretchy pants to wear to work since none of my other work pants fit yet. I had a few consults and Bengston is 2.5 hours away but I’d choose him again every time! I breasts are almost healed and everything so far has been better than I could have imagined!
Wow, you look great!!

It has only been one week today since my mommy...
It has only been one week today since my mommy makeover including a full tummy tuck, lipo to the flanks and a breast lift with fat transfer and I am already so thankful and happy. I am so glad that I chose Dr Bengston out of all of my consults. Absolutely worth every cent! (And pain and discomfort!!)

Wow!!!!!! Such a difference!!! I hope your healing good. All my well wishes and prayers to you!!! Looks so good already!!!!!
Thank you! I am very happy so far. Crazy I cannot wear my regular jeans. I tried my biggest pair this morning and inches away from being able to button. I had to go buy stretchy pants yesterday
You will be swollen a while off and on. I busted out my leggings and stretchy comfy pants lol... once you get past the first month or so it seems some are swelling less... but I have seen some swell up to 17 months off and on. I think it's individual basis healing and how much skin they remove... I felt like a ball in the middle at first lol the skin was so tight I was walking around like erkle lolol I'm starting to be able to stand straighter now and that's taking inches off the middle too. You look amazing now but I think you will look phenomenal when the swelling goes down!!!!!
