Found a Lump on my left side
So today I had my ultrasound and it didn't really leave me feeling any better after wards. The doctor there has ruled out a cyst, scar tissue, a leakage or lymph nodes. He was unsure of what it was, just that it has some unusual characteristics which will need to be biopsied. He mentioned that it could just be Fat Necrosis ....or the scary C word. so now I'm stuck here panicking a bit, not knowing whats going on and thinking of the worst possible outcome of course. Not something I wanted to go through! I'm sure it's just fat necrosis since my surgery was still only less than 3 months ago but I don't know. Have any of you ladies had to deal with this? What is fat necrosis and how does one deal with it? I'm afraid to google it! I'm sure i'll just end up more afraid afterwards haha.
15 Day Update!!!
Healing is going pretty good, I feel like I get tired out pretty fast still so I take it easy more often than not. I'm still sleeping on my back but I'm finally laying almost flat now. My only issue is the hypersensitivity....its horrendous haha. Wearing any type of bralette or even just a shirt irritates it and its super hard to ignore. Unfortunately there's not much you can do about it. It'll just go away on its own one day. I've added a few other progress pictures as well for some updates. I LOVE how they look in clothes now and some of my old stuff I can;t wear any more cause it makes the shirt too short or I'm not able to button the shirt up any more!
All problems I'm 100% okay with! I love how my whole outlook of my body has changed. I know I'm not a skinny girl or anything but I just feel like everything is in proportion now. I just love it. That's it for now ladies, but I will be back!!!
Day 8 Post Op
Sleeping however, hasn't gotten any easier and its starting to bug me. I still have to sleep slightly elevated cause it feels like my chest is being crushed when I lay down flat haha. So it's creating a sore lower back and its making it harder to stay asleep for longer periods. Any tips on correcting this? I just want to sleep normally again!!!! Thankfully I'm not a stomach sleeper so I should be back to normal alot sooner than later :D.
I shall keep you all posted and post some more pictures soon, any help though would be awesome!
Provider Review
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Dr. Bryson Richards and his practice. From the moment I contacted them until now (5 days post op) I have never had any trouble at all and everyone made me feel right at ease. I never once felt rushed and he was very calming which was a huge relief for me as I can get quite anxious! His nurse Kerry is an angel, really easy to talk to, answered all my emails in a timely manner and never got annoyed with how many emails I did send her! It's still early but his work is wonderful, I didn't suffer much pain at all, the bruising is so minimal and the incisions so neatly taken care of. I'm really excited to see the final result and I will definitely be recommending him to any one who's looking! Or for any future work for myself :D.
