WORTH IT$12,000
6 1/2 weeks post op and feeling pretty good about the way things have turned out. I love how I look in clothes and the swelling has really gone down. I am starting to be able to sleep on my side a little by leaning on the pillowbutthe sides of my breasts are still very tender from the lift. PS told me during my last appt that around 10-12 weeks scars would become very red and then true healing begins. Wonder if anyone else has heard that? My mood has been much better and I am just really glad I did this!

4 weeks PO today! While I feel good that the results I want will come, I am kind of tired of not sleeping well, feeling emotional sometimes for no apparent reason, and overall just a little uncomfortable. I am also being a worry wort lately and I don't like it! I don't work full time but two days a week I keep two children ages 2 1/2 & 1. I go back next Wednesday (5 wks PO) and I am worried about picking the baby up but I miss them so much and their parents need me.
I posted a new pic...I am kind of worried that I may be developing one of those "dog ears" everyone talks about it. Is it too soon to tell? Also, one side seems higher than the other...is that unusual? Will that even matter a year from now when hopefully it won't be as visible? Worry, worry, worry!!
On a positive note, my weight is stable at 122 lbs and I have more energy every day :-) Thank goodness I have this site to vent!

You look amazing. I think it's way too soon to tell if it's a dog ear or whatever. I have a couple areas that I've noticed are bumpy and puckered, but I don't worry over them. Try not to pick yourself apart and instead focus on how freaking awesome you look now. Healing from a major surgery like this is no picnic, but it will be totally worth it. Hang in there.

Thanks for the update. You are looking great! I'm 4 1/2 weeks and can totally relate to the being tired and emotional. I'm sure my hubby thinks I'm crazy! I wouldn't worry too much; our bodies are still healing and have a ways to go!

Wow! You look really great. I am 19 Days PO today after my MM too. I, like you was so unhappy with my big boobs! Hubby loved em...me not so much! Actually I loathed them. That was the reason I was going in for surgery then decided to get my little bit of skin removed and that waist and belly of mine tightened up. So happy with everything so far! I have had some emotional days too and I definitely know that is normal but it still feels bad. I'm about a wk out from my period 2 so that probably doesn't help. I have been feeling So good that I have overdone it and worn myself out and caused a lot of swelling so I'm trying to be a lil kinder and gentler to myself. Hope you are doing the same ;) Excited to see your progress since we are only about a week apart!

You look fabulous! I can't tell from the picture you posted if that is a dog ear or not, but even if it is, it's so slight that it's likely to settle on its own! I'm not sure if your PS recommends massage of the incision or not, but my surgeon has me massaging Vitamin E oil on the incisions twice a day and said the massage is even more important than the oil to get the scar tissue to break up and smooth over. I understand every surgeon has their own preference for scar healing, but I hope this bit helps! Personally, I think your incision looks phenomenal-- especially at only 4 weeks PO!

PO Day 11...Starting to see some changes! I weighed in at 124.4 this morning..happy about that! My breasts are starting to drop and soften...happy about that! Bruising is getting a little better...happy about that! The only thing that really concerns me is how high my scar is on the sides. I put on my blue string bikini that I wore on the cruise in January and the scar is very visible. Hopefully, that will decrease in color and size. I have posted a few new pics to show my progress. Honestly, this site makes me feel better just because I did take those pictures and see my progress so if you are out there and haven't taken pictures, you need to because it will help you get through the down times! Start now!
I went for a walk around the block with hubby last night and although I walk slow, it felt good. I can't stand up completely straight until Tuesday when I get my stitches out. Still swollen but not as bad today...I am feeling positive!
