Drain Can Finally Come Out!

WORTH IT$12,000
The subject says it all! I’m a out of town patient so I was given instructions on how to remove it if my doctor friend can’t help me. I never thought this day would come and I am here for it!!!!!

I'm AN out of town patient ...
No me jodas. You look amazing. Happy healing
*blushing* Thank you dear!
wow you look great
Thank you!!
wow u look great. Im getting a consult with him. How are u feeling ? How long did u stay in the recovery center or was it just a hotel?
Thank you! I am doing well. I did not stay at the recovery center. I did stay at an AirBnb and was fine because they had wheelchair service. I also did not sleep in a recliner. I purchased wedge pillows from Walmart and managed pretty well. I'm excited for you! What are you getting done?
Im looking to get a breast lift possible with or without the implants. I have implants now & I got pregnant soon after my surgery so it ruined my result ;( I also want a tummy tuck. I have 3 kids so my stomach is ripply & I'm self concsious about it. I honestly wouldn't mind another Bbl also. But I think thats too much to get done all together. My main goal is to look good in a bikini again. How long did u stay in Miami to recover ? Did u have to take a plane home? I a little nervous about that.
Oh ok nice :) So I flew into Miami and drove back to Atlanta after 4 days. Had to stop every 1 to get up and walk tho so it was a journey! Since you've had surgery before you should be fine. I decided not to do the bbl a few weeks before surgery although he said he could do it . I wasn't impressed with what I seen online in regard to that specific procedure with him and to be honest there were less than 10 . How bad did the pregnancy affect your prior surgery? God bless that baby ! LOL

So yea...hey guys :) It's funny how I was so ambitious about posing here but in denial about how much this surgery takes out of you! I'm ok pain wise. At this point it's a lot of discomfort and swelling. The discomfort comes from those sharp pains I spoke about last post, breasts feeling a tad bit sore now ,and the swelling of my TT area. I actually still have my one drain in but it literally is AT the 25 cc mark within 24 hours. I will inquire about that with the office tomorrow. I've been taking Arnica orally and it really does help with the stiffness and discomfort in my opinion. I did start using my scar cream (BioCorneum) twice a day per doctor a few days ago. I am very happy with my results so far and look forward to updating you guys again soon. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions about my experience :)

You look amazing!!! Happy healing!! The itching and swelling will get better!
:)) thank you so much! I'm looking forward to it getting better for sure!
Girl!! Same here! LOL! I told myself that I would be posting all the time, but shiiiiiddddddd..... Reality set in!! Real quick!! LOL! Anyway... You seem to be doing fine considering all of the procedures you had done. Wishing you well on your healing/recovery journey... It is a process for everything.
Lolol! Thank you girl. I had the drain taken out and and am still swelling a lot. I'm so over the compression garments but I am still wearing them most of the day and night as suggested. I could not imagine having this done is the summer . GAWD NO!
I'm on my 17th day post opp Breast Life and augmentation and I tried to go back to work this week only having to call out again. I've been feeling sharpness in my left breast like serious pain like none before. Is that normal?
Congrats! Yes it is normal. I was told that the nerves are "reconnecting" so this causes the sharp pains every now and then. Hang in there love!

6 days Post Op ...I think Lol

Hey guys. So pain is getting more and more bearable but walking bent 90 degrees is killing my back OMG. Still using a walker and that helps. I’ve been showering daily . That has been challenging but def worth it and refreshing. Tight breast still leaks a little yellowish red tint but not much. No leak from incision at all so far . Still sore from lipo and if I accidentally hit my breasts, it hurts. Wearing a binder is absolutely uncomfortable most days but I know it’s necessary. I am still very swollen especially on my lower belly. Breast feel less tight and swole day by day. I do also get a stinging pain (yes pain) if i move my upper thighs as the incision is so close to that I suppose. Anyhoo here are some pics as well. Talk soon!

You are going to look amazing. The healing process is painful but worth it. Happy healing
Thank you so much so much love! All the best to you as well :)
what kind of clothes did you wear after surgery? im trying to buy some comfy things so im prepared!
Good luck to you! Yes so I am wearing roomy sweatpants , pajama pants, loose cotton tshirts, etc. Fitted cotton tshirts will help you with garment comfort TRUST ME! I also occasionally wear compression socks since I am taking it easy around the house . Also get comfy cotton underwear too .
