13 days post Mommy Makeover
Update since my last post:
- I stopped pain pills and muscle relaxers on day 6/7
- Day 9 was where I started feeling better/more energy
-I'm incredibly itchy - my back, stomach - I'm hoping this gets better
- Day 13 and got my one and only drain I had removed - not painful
- I have mostly dissolvable stitches but I do have a few black stitches in belly button and along incision line that will need removed
- I'm hoping that my breasts will continue to drop - 350cc was the size
- there is swelling and a bulge around incision that I'm told will stretch and reduce over time
- based on my size pre-op (petite, 97 lbs) I was told there would be a small vertical incision off of the bikini line horizontal incision - I believe this was because there was not enough skin originally to pull my belly button all the way down and would need a vertical incision along with the horizontal one

350cc. 1 drain with tummy tuck. No liposuction.
I hope these suckers drop a lot. They're sitting so high. And they feel really big for my shape. I wonder if I should've gone smaller than 350cc?
The drain is starting to bother me today. I'm still taking pain meds every 4 hrs

Mommy Maker on 11/4/21 - Petite Frame
Surgery was on 11/4. I got a tummy tuck and breast aug. I'm 97lbs and 5'0". I had two very large babies. The first was 9 lbs 3oz, my second baby was 9lbs 15 oz. I have a short torso so by about month 4 of pregnancy I looked like I was 9 months pregnant. It was clear that I would need to put in the work to get back to my pre baby body so I worked out dieted. I got down to 98 lbs which was back to my original pre baby weight. It was frustrating because I wasn't seeing a change with my tummy . The loose abdominal skin and the deflated boobs weren't getting better. I decided to make a consult with number of plastic surgeons but my search stopped with Dr. bolling. I'm so glad I'm in the other side of this journey. I couldn't sleep at night because I was so worried. Today is day 2 post op. I can shower today and when I do, I'll take some pics and list them. I leaned on this real self website for pics/personal experience. I thought id share my notes as well.
Pain was fine Thursday night, Friday was a bit rough. Now here on Saturday I'm feeling better and can get up to walk to the bathroom. But that's about all I can't do. I have no appetite but I'm hoping I will soon. I'm very sleepy from the meds. Lastly, I was going to go with 300cc's but made a game time decision. With 350cc. I'll send more pics and update my story each day.
