56 Having Mommy Makeover

what a difference time makes. I am exactly two weeks post op today. My breasts are settling i nicely. I cant believe the fullness. I didnt know what was worse, the flat sunken boobs or the skin hanging off the stomach. no matter how much I exercised, nothing changed. I am thrilled with both. Scars are healing. I am still a little bruised with the lift. They removed some breast tissue and gave me a 355 sientra implant to both breast. My scar is a modified lollipop. there is no anchor beneath. As far as the abdomen, it is tight. I didn't have any lipo just TT. I have started with biocorneum on the TT scar. Bellybutton is still healing. My stomach is still tight, numb and tingling. All in all, I feel pretty good.

So happy with results so far. All I can say is just do it. Recovery sucks, I dont think that there is anyway to mentally prepare or expect the pain and inability to do anything. Me, I am a type A personality but I have no intentions of dismissing Doctors advice. I spent to much money to screw it up because I think I am superwoman. It is very hard to ask for help, but I am. Here are some photos exactly 1 week out.

Honestly never expected the pain or limited mobility. I can only say thank you to my sister. Today is day six post op. I spent four days staying with my sister, who did everything for me. I was unable to do much of antthing and completely hunched over. I couldnt stand upright. I didnt expect that. Slowly but surely everyday is an improvement. I am able to stand up now. It still feels numb and as if there is something pulling on my abdomen but no more severe backpain. I am able to get dressed, make food for myself, walk around and off all meds except tylenol at bedtime. The breast don't really hurt at all. I guess it is probably because the stomach hurts so much. Everyday, the improvement is exponential. Even swollen, scarred and i pain, the results are 150 percent better than when I went under the knife. My only regret is that I didn't do this in my 30's. BUT, I did it now and love it. Yes, the belly binder and compression bra suck, sleeping sucks, walking sucks but it's improving everyday and I havent reached a week postop.
