Day 12

WORTH IT
Day 10 I got my drains out & that is a game changer! Finally sleeping in my bed & not the lift chair. The lift chair was definitely worth investing in though.

Yay!! I hope you're feeling so much better now! You're looking amazing! I loved my lift chair.. definitely the not important investment I made for sure (and I slept in that thing for almost a month haha). You get attached for the ;) thanks for the update and hope things continue to heal very quickly for you :)
Can I ask how much this all cost?
Around $17,000 for the surgery.
How's everything going now that we're nearing 2023?

Day 8

Each day gets easier. Nearly standing up straight today! The swelling in my breasts & tummy has gone down noticeably today. It’s funny to think only 4 days ago I was questioning my sanity for having chose to do this lol. I am so glad I did!

Looking fantastic and more healed than later pic even!)
Thank you!! I'm curious how are you doing? Did your pain ever go completely away?
I'm doing so much better:) still a bit of pain in one spot if I do too much standing or walking too long but it's minor compared to what it was before so I'm thinking in another month or so it'll be completely gone:) I'll post an update on my review soon too. My BB looks so much better now that it's healed and may just need a minor revision for the scar tissue around it. Thanks for the update and look forward to more... lots of healing vibes coming your way :)
Yay!! That is so good to hear. :) I can only imagine how frustrating that must've been. It's already hard waiting for just the normal healing process let alone to end up having pain like that. It sounded like a really freak thing to have happen. I'm super pumped I'm getting my drains out tomorrow & from what I hear you start feeling a little more normal then. Happy continued healing to you too!! And I will definitely be looking forward to your update, your posts have been so helpful to me. :)
Oh yes.. once the drains come out, you feel human again absolutely;) I know what happened to me was rare so I expect you to be feeling much better in these next few weeks or so.. you may still have the numbness from lipo and tightness from muscle repair but that feeling you reall just get used to and it slowly does get better. I still wear my compression "granny panties " because they feel like they hold me together haha. Can't wait to see me her how you're feeling and be ready for some weird feelings when he pulls the drains out.. doesn't hurt but geez, it's the weirdest sensation you'll ever feel!

Day 3

The photo is from day 3, today is actually day 6. Implants are 345cc on one side & 330cc on other moderate profile. They look huge but I think it’s mostly swelling. I was a 34C/36B before. Yesterday I really felt like I turned a corner. Feeling stronger everyday, thank goodness!!
