Binder gone

$18,001
Went for check up and binder is gone as is surgical bra. In to a spanx tight bottom and seamless wireless cotton bra. Still too swollen for my taste but understand it can take 6 months or longer. Ugh. Areas under my side breast are still painful as are my ribs. Had my ultrasonic massage which is nice at the time but I always experience cramps and discomfort.

Congratulations on your surgery!! Sounds like you are doing very well at this stage. I’m in awe that you were able to go back to work so quickly. Great job and happy healing hun!!!

Thanks. Has felt like a long recovery, but it really has gone incredibly smooth.

how are you doing now? I am considering a body lift and have a similar body to your before photos.

We appreciate you sharing your experience with others. It is very helpful for others considering these procedures. You are making steady progress and you look fabulous at such an early stage. I also appreciate your patience regarding your breast swelling. That "square, flat look" will settle and round out. This will take several months. Hang in there and I will see you soon. Dr. Gervais

Scars look incredible breast lift

Maggs413
11 days post op of breast lift and the vertical scars are healing incredibly well. My breasts are still sore and making noises (like the armpit fart noise). Still fairly high and tight.

Had to take my abdominal compression garment off for a bit (18 days post op). I'm having an allergic reaction and rash that's driving Mr bonkers. Cannot wait for that part to heal and go away.

Breast rolls

Maggs413
I'm concerned about the rolls that I've now got but hopeful they are going to go away. I was disappointed when i called today to see if i can take Midol due to my unbelievable period pain, which is not normal and it felt like the perdon who answered the phone didn't really listen. She asked when I see Dr Gervais again, 1/2, and pretty much said to just do what I'm doing and talk to him then, but offered no solutions or even reassurance that this may be normal. Also one breast is smaller due to swelling. The one more swollen is still painful.
