Mommy Makeover So Worth It Dr. Basu does awesome work - 3 week post op pics - Houston, TX

So 3 weeks post op - doing pretty good so far. Finally back in my bed which is nice. Today Saturday 3 1/2 Weeks post op) I am hurting a little. My upper abs hurt - nothing over the top just painful like I did a bunch of abs - Is this normal? It just started and scared I did something to pull something. My stomach at the end of each night is really swollen and tight mainly on the right side. My waist is uneven - look at the pictures. I think this is due mainly to the swelling and hopefully not due to uneven lipo - can that happen? I go back the doc on Tuesday which will be 4 weeks post op so can ask him but if you guys experienced the same thing would love to hear form you.

I will start scar therapy after the next week. My scar right now isn't too bad considering it has only be 3 weeks so hopefully doing the scare therapy it will get even better. I get a smaller garment too on Tuesday - maybe that will help with the swelling. How long did you all have to wear your garment. I have a Florida trip planed right at 6 weeks post op and hoping I don't have to wear it all the time - it wouldn't look to cute on the beach :).

I have posted my 3 weeks post op for those that like to see visual results and know how things are progressing.

For those of you just beginning your journey - mine hasn't been too bad so far and wish each of you a great journey to being that hot mamma you want to be.

So I am now 2 weeks post op - and things are going well. I went for my 2nd post op appointment and the last tube came out and the tape came off - So excited. The tube as everyone says is one of the worst parts. I was so happy to have that out - feel more normal now.

Dr. B said all looked really good - he said that my results would get even better because I still had some swelling that needed to go down - I am happy now can't imagine it being better - so excited to see the final results. The tape came off and even without any scar therapy the scaring isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

My left breast is still more swollen than my right so they look a little uneven but the doc said that would correct itself too. He did tell me that my right one will be slightly lower than my left because due to the amount of sag in my right breast that he wasn't able to completely 100% match them up without the right one looking bad - so glad he made that decision - don't want it to look bad - being a little off is fine - he said it won't be that noticeable.

I go back in 2 weeks and the doc will give me a smaller compression garment and I will learn how to do the scar therapy - so I am making great progress. Post op 2 week pics below.

Post-op Day 8: Yesterday I think I over did it but I did feel more independent which was nice. I actually drove my daughter to and from school and watched my son play baseball - even took a shower and washed my hair. Lots of activity during the day made for a very tired momma at the end of the day. So came home and went to bed after taking 2 of my pain pills to allow me to sleep better.

Today was a great day - feel really good -didn't even have to take Tylenol today so pain was really good today - more uncomfortable due to this last drain but that will come out Tuesday so getting close. My breast still look uneven but I still think they are pretty swollen so still hope that works itself out but my stomach has minimal swelling so that has been really nice - and I think is going to look great when the stitches are gone and I am all healed up.

Does anyone know how long until the stitches dissolve and this tape can come off?

Hope all that are going through this journey are having a great one - day 7 pics below for those that like to see pictures (I know I did)
