Here are some pics I was finally able to take over the weekend...I have a small scab under the left breast where the T joint is and they said that it will heal from the inside out now...I have been trying to sleep on my side, so I went and got a seamless bra for that as the wire on the sports bra was very uncomfortable when I tried to sleep in it, especially where my lipo was done under my armpits...I am back to work on the 4th but I have been told no vacuuming or anything with repetitive motion of my arms for a good 6 weeks. Feeling like normal now, but a few pains here and there which I am guessing is the nerves coming back...

Hope you are doing well! You must be excited with your results?? You look fantastic! I'm just wondering if you felt fatigued for a while after surgery? I'm just over one week and feel quite lathargic.

I felt pretty good after the surgery...but I found I did get tired very quickly when I did too much and had to lie down when it hit...

Had my followup with my Dr. yesterday....I still had all my steri strips on so his assistant removed those before he saw me and she was very impressed with how the healing is progressing....I do have a small amount of crust in the T join on my left breast which she said will now heal from the inside outwhen but should be fine...Dr. Peterson then came in, he explained that everything went fine during the procedure, he removed my 575cc implants and then removed 328 grams of tissue from my left breast and 307 grams from my right breast...he also advised that they routinely send the tissue off for pathology and it came back benign which made me happy! I have been given the clearance to not have to keep the sports bra on 24/7, and I can get a different bra to wear now...but he said it would be a good idea to sleep with a bra on for support until I see him at my 3 month followup. I will post photos later as I haven't had the privacy to do it yet due to the Christmas crunch!

Feeling pretty good...no pain meds, most of the swishing is now gone and has been replaced with tightness if I reach too far or use my arm over my head...means things are healing!! I had a concern with a small lump I found under my left armpit area, right above where the lower edge of my bra sits, thought maybe it could have been a hematoma due to the lipo done there but when I went to look closer at it, seems to be just the end part of the incision under my breast...when I went to look at it I was shocked to see the bruise which has already started to turn a tone of yellow now! Starting to go stir crazy here, want to do more than I should because I am feeling so good but know I have to be careful! I have also been so itchy last couple of days, wondering if it was a reaction from the antibiotics but I finished those on Sat. night...seem to have a bit of a yeast thing happening so maybe that is connected with the itchiness...
