Looking amazing ...my drains came out after day 2 ..something my surgeon here in Spain does !!
Thanks my lovely, post some pics of your progress so I can see you..I still have mines in and he says that he will not take them out until I drain less than 25cc for 48 hours a and that does seem like anytime soon.
Hi ,
I tried posting , without any luck so far , cos my surgeon is in Spain , he has to be approved by Real Self Trem ...I have now found him on their site , so will try again ..
One week since our op.. Yay!!! Hope your feeling ok ..
Had my lymphatic drainage today ..was dreading it , but was actually good , and I felt heaps better afterwards , as the practitioner said I was very swollen on one side , that it would help. Have another booked for Friday ...
You look amazing!!!! How many cc's did u get for ur implants?
Thank you love . I got 485 cc , it's almost your time are you ready.

5 days post op and it going great

So I'm officially 5 days post op, getting use to my new tight (very tight) body ????. Recovery these past few days has not been as awful as I thought it would be but at the same time I'm really good with pain. The worst part for me has been the swelling and a little anxiety attack episode I went through because of the tightness in my chest. Other than that it just been normal activities that a person goes through with surgical recovery. Since I read the comments from my other fellow realselfers , I been drinking prune juice and taking my colace so my constipation has not been a problem for me either. Ladies out there going to have a procedure this week buy Arnica gel , my doctor didn't recommend to purchase this but I have a friend who had surgery advise to buy this and the best for the swelling and bruising, it does wonders. I have an appointment to see the doctor on Wednesday to see my progress and I'll update you ladies then..

Hi , glad all is going well for you ... I've got my first post op appointment tomorrow for dressing and drainage massage ...am dreading that part as I am sooooo sore and bruised xx
Thank you, I hope all is going well for you also. My PS says I have to wait 2 weeks before getting massages , I guess that do things differently here ..I totally get the bruising and soreness because I feel the same way.
I think two weeks is about right to be honest , but I live in UK and have to fly home next Monday so clinic want to do some massage before I go ... Will see how I feel tomorrow , but I think I will tell them I don't want one yet ..toooo sore .
Had a shower this morning ..was great , got my husband to put some arnica cream on the lipo bruises , felt well enough to go and get some lunch out !!
Will try and put some pics on my profile page ....
