30 Years Old 2 C-sections Traveling to Miami FL for a Mommy Makeover - Miami, FL

UPDATED FROM manguinharosa
4 months post

Almost 4 months

Sorry I've been out of the app for a while ... I told myself I would try to always update and give back to the girls who came after me
but unfortunately my anxiety/depression got the best of me. Thank God these past 2 weeks I have felt the best yet ... I gave in and accepted that my surgery triggered my anxiety and old depression and finally started taking medication again and it has helped so much ! I haven't had to take anything since 2009 but I couldn't do anymore ... I had to do something to be better for my family . I also started doing restorative/gentle yoga and it has been a life changer! Thanks to all the ladies who suggest it !
As far as my surgery goes , everything is falling into place my breasts are finally soft but my left hasn't fully dropped yet ... it's also rounder ... my local doc is watching it for capsular contraction but Bc it's soft and early he's not concerned. I did tell both him and my doc in Florida if I got CC I would remove my implants completely just bc I'm not up to having multiple surgeries ...my TT is super flat no doubt my bb is tiny and cute ... my scars are raised here and there and I think I have a dog ear on my right but I'm not super concerned anymore .
I still have crazy tingling in my body some days more than others some days not at all ... crazy joint, neck, shoulder pain , brain fog , fatigue ... I've been telling myself it's all due to the anxiety and depression but I'm keeping an open mind for Breast implant illness ... a woman I was following on IG just removed hers after 1 year and all her symptoms went away . We will see I hope it's not it bc I really wanna enjoy these babies ... lol
Most of all these days I've been trying to enjoy life ... take it day by day ... meditate , enjoy my life enjoy this new body ...
Happy healing ladies !!!

Oh and I do need to start doing some hardcore workouts and eating better !!! Summer is so hard lol :)
So glad you are feeling better about everything. You look stunning my dear. I hope you are glad you did this and happy with your results ❤️
Thank u mama ! I'm getting there ... slowly but surely !!! How are u feeling today ?
Girl, you look fantastic
Thank you :)
What a journey you've had! I can totally understand how this surgery can trigger anxiety. You look amazing. Take care..
Thank you...certainly takes time to heal but better everyday :)
Agreed. When I get down, I looked back at my profile and see how far I've come. It totally helps. Such a slow process though. Slower than I actually expected
Me too girl ! Some people heal so fast! I wish!!! hahah I pray in a year from now all be be perfect ! :)
Sorry to hear you were feeling down :( glad to see things are better for you though! You are looking gorgeous and you have a lovely shape! Hoping that left boob drops soon :)
Thank you mama!!! I hope so if not Im gonna keep it there haha I don't want to have surgery... Im over it ! lol
Lol! If mine were soft and comfortable I would have prob let it go...unfortunately it's hard and tight and really sore when I sleep and wake up in the morn :/
Really ? Oh mine is still soft ... could it be CC ? My doc told me of it were hard and got painful it would be CC ...
He didn't say it was, but I also never asked..I can always ask when I go back to see him
Just check it out with him so if it is u have the correct revision needed so u dont have to keep going back... Both my local doc and Hochstein said the reason why it doesn't classify as CC is because its equally as soft as the right one... but I have to keep on eye on it if it gets hard and hurts ...
Oh geez! Ok thanks for the heads up and info! I appreciate it :)
Of course !
Feeling good today. Not near as stiff as yesterday. My wound looks disgusting but he said it would look worse before it gets better so hopefully getting better. I left everything off after my shower today for an hour or so to let it all dry out really good. Hope it will help
Yes I always let it dry out after the shower ... that is true ... looks worse before it looks better !!! Take care !!!

8 weeks ! Almost 2 months !

Can't believe I'm around the 2 month mark ! Time as flown by and I'm slowly trying to get back into the routine of life. I'm being more focused on my family , work and and enjoying life ! I haven't been on here as much as I'm trying not be so consumed by all things surgery... it's better for my anxiety .

A lot of my symptoms are anxiety and a lot of them are my body just recovering. That numbing, tingling sensation is better described like a burning sensation ... I have it on my right thigh and arm for the most part and I guess it's my nerves waking up and everything healing ... I also have some major shoulder pain especially on the side that my boob hasn't dropped that lefty which is also where I had the hematoma which I guess will take more time to heal. I still feel some soreness and def swollen all over by the end of the day. I'm trusting that my body is doing what it's supposed to be doing ! I'm grateful for my health and my results. All I can do now is trust the process and take good care of my body!

Now for the fun stuff !

Still have some wounds that aren't 100 % closed on my tummy tuck were at 95% so I'm hoping soon I can take a nice relaxing bath ;)

My left boob where I had the hematoma still swelled up and hasn't dropped as much as the right ... still feels pretty firm... a little squishier but not much.

I still have pleading ... it has gotten better but they're still there ...

I've been using scar away on my scar on my TT pretty much at all times except for the shower ... in the pics it always looks so dark ... also where it had the wounds looks darker... on my breast they look awesome I can't complain and honestly I'm not that concerned with them there ...

Overall since the surgery I've lost 7 lbs .

Next week I'm going to start back with my workouts ... start slow with walking and maybe some beginner yoga? Lol

I think thats all ladies :)

You look like a completely different person! You look great! You are getting there slowly but surely ;)
Yes girl slowly but surely ! Thank u so much ! I can't wait to work out now ! How are u ?
Doing good! Back to normal! Only issue is that my left boob hasn't dropped. See my doc next week and I'll see what he says

Keeping it real

I always try to keep a positive attitude truth is I've been dealing with some major anxiety. I've had some numbing tingling and soreness I've felt on my shoulder and arms and upper back has anyone else experienced this ? My regular physician thinks it's my anxiety...I'm so ready to be back to my old self. Post op has been difficult for me emotionally and physically since the hematoma surgery ... I'm ready to enjoy my results my life my blessings ...can anyone shed some light ?

I will do my six week update soon !!!
Are you standing straight up? O wo say...I think that I have a nerve that runs from my right hip up to the inner aspect of my right upper arm, because if something like a compression garment alides ober it at an odd angle, I feel a sting feeling in my upper arm... so weird! It may be possible that a nerve waa afdected during the hematoma repair? Are you able to see a chiropractor yet? I have one that as far as I'm concerned, walks on water...he heals everything. Are you working out yet?
I'm standing pretty straight already ... I asked the hematoma doc he said he procedure was really simple that these symptoms don't make sense to him . I've had a massage I'm going to ask about seeing chiropractor to see if it gets better ... the weird thing it's no constant it's on and off ... but when it's on it's all dayyyyy ! Ah
I get numbness in my arms at times. If I'm sitting or laying a certain way....I feel like the implant cuts off circulation or something?! Hang in there...not only are you recovering from your first surgery, but you had a second one after so it may take you a little more time to feel normal! I hope you start to feel better soon! We are here if you need us ❤️
I don't feel it all the time and I'm sure my anxiety doesn't help ! Thank u girl !! Getting there everyday
Yes you are! You're doing fabulous! And no I'm sure anxiety is certainly not pleasant ugh
Thank u for your kind words! ! ❤️
So sorry you are feeling some anxiety but you have been through a lot in the past few weeks. With a little more time and your positive attitude I'm sure this will pass. Feel better soon!!
Thank uu so much ! It getting better ... ur coming up soon
SOON YES. Less than 6 weeks to go and I can't wait!!!
I'm sure !!! That's all I could think about !
