One month old already! Healing nicely! Satisfied Breast Augmentation- Round Silicon, Sub Muscular Moderate 457 & 421 cc's & Lipo

Sorry for being missing in action! I actually moved and started a new job in the past two weeks, which I strongly recommend NOT doing after having breast augmentation and especially NOT after having liposuction. It's been pretty hellish and exhausting to say the least. But anyways I am healing nicely, the bruising from the lipo is just about completely gone and the steri strips covering my incisions actually just came off this past Saturday. The incisions are perfect, I was honestly so scared to see them but they look great. There was one little stitch that has still not completely dissolved. The incisions are really sensitive and tender, and now have a completely different feeling since the steri strips have come off. My boobs are still sore as well and by the end of the day hurt. I also can tell the difference in my body swelling from the beginning to the end of the day. I still have this pain under my skin in all of the lipo areas and if I stretch it feels like a really tight rubberband is pulling on the inside. I have religiously worn my compression garment every single day and night. I only take it off to shower and apply the biocornium scar cream, which has also been applied religiously twice a day. I'm glad I got two compression garments, so that I always have a clean one on hand. But my body seriously hurts when I don't have the garment on. I don't like it. Also, I want to give a shoutout to the awesome Reebok sports bras I bought, I've worn them everyday! I spent over $100 on two different Under Armour sports bras, neither of which fit well at all.
OH MY GOODNESS! You're not going to believe this! I finally got the results back from how many cc's were removed during lipo.... No wonder my body still hurts! Dr. Hochstein removed 2,200 cc's from my body!!!! That's over a gallon!!!! Unbelievable. But I have an email in to him with pictures for my follow up since I'm not as close in proximity to him since i moved. I'll let you know what he says when I hear back from him. I just sent it today. I'm posting some new pics.

I'm just having a down moment regarding my swelling in the midsection and legs from lipo. I knew going into this that the results would not be instantly gratifying, but it still sucks being swollen and confined to this compression garment that I refuse to take off (other than to shower) I'm hoping to see some drastic improvement in the next week. I'm still taking all of my supplements, so I'm not really sure if there is anything else I should be doing. :(

Hi there! Sorry for the lapse in time from my last update. I have new pictures as of today to show my progress. I'm definitely still pretty sore but I can see my range of motion coming back in my arms with less and less pain. I am still taking it easy, no lifting, pushing or pulling anything over ten pounds. I am also still taking extra strength Tylenol, but the time between doses has extended quite a bit.
So, funny thing...turns out that the first bra that I was so excited to purchase was NOT the right size. After wearing it for a day, I quickly realized it was too small, as it was digging into my breasts. So I went back to the store and had my fiancé help me try on some other sizes. Turns out the best fitting Under Armour sports bra (the same style where it zips in the front) was actually a 34 DD! And it's still snug. I don't know if this will change as they drop and fluff, so I only bought that one. I also bought two reebok medium support bralettes (like the purple one in the picture) I love these because they look normal under a shirt until I'm able to wear a normal bra. The only downside to these bralettes is that by the end of the day my boobies really hurt because they really aren't all that supportive. I wear my post-op bra to bed and I am wearing my compression garment religiously, all day and all night! I really want to reap the benefits of my lipo, so I'm going to wear this thing as long as humanly possible. Speaking of the lipo, I am bruised quite a bit on my inner and outer thighs, however I had my abdomen and hips done as well and even though they are very tender to the touch there is no bruising in those areas at all. The incisions are so tiny and already closed up. With this particular procedure the incision sites are so tiny that no suture or stitch is required for closing the sites which will make scarring almost obsolete. There are 8 tiny incisions that I received, two on either side of my pelvic area, two on the outside of each thigh right by my hips, two on my back right above my butt (kinda on my cheeks) and two on the back of my thighs in the smile of my cheeks (these hurt the worst). I'm still so swollen. This is the most depressing part, because I won't actually see these final results until all of the swelling subsides which can take up to 9 months. It's a gradule reduction in swelling over time, but it could absolutely take that long for the body to completely recover from the procedure. I think once I'm able to work out again, that will really help as well. Time for sleep, more later loves. Xo
