I'm just a few days post Mommy Makeover and finally had the courage today to remove my bandages and binder and see exactly what was done. This is what I found...I'm very pleased with everything, except a little worried about the incision on the right breast and at the top of the vertical TT. The spot between my breasts is actually where the bottom of my sternum juts out a bit ad there is a pocket of skin there that bothers me. Considering that my breasts used to be 48 DD and had shrunk to a 32B and were hanging past my elbows, I'm thinking the size and placement of these is great...just curious about the bulge and incision on the right breast...and the 'bubbling' at the top of the vertical TT incision. I can tell you that this part of the TT is still the tightest and I cannot yet bring my shoulders all the way back.

Is any of this normal for my first few days post-op?

Do you think those will fix themselves? Or will I need revision surgery?

I see my surgeon tomorrow, but wanted to have some questions to go in with...

Congratulations on your weight loss, you must be so proud of yourself !!! You look great and boob placement is wonderful. I don't really know much about how things should look yet because i'm still counting down the days for my surgery . But you are still swollen and bruised so the bulge could very well be a result of that...good luck tomorrow when you go for post op visit.

You cannot judge anything now, it is too early. Just wait and see how it goes tomorrow. I am 5 days post. I see some women on here look amazing after a few days and others it takes months, but everyone looks good at a year post.
