I don’t wear a binder usually at this point but I notice when I do there is a significant difference in swelling. Almost an inch difference when I measured my waist.
These pictures are from 3 months post and I’m now 6 months post. I still don’t have a lot of feeling in my abdomen and I’m told it could be up to 2 years before it returns.

My breast have dropped and fluffed. I feel I am back to normal in regards to that surgery. I was told to size up one more from what I thought I wanted but with covid and not having my husband there I rushed and got what I thought was going to be big for me. In the end, I kinda wish I had sized up one but I am happy with what I got.
Last week I got the all clear to fully resume exercising and activities. I’m so excited to get back to working out and playing volleyball! I didn’t realize how tight my abdominal muscles are until I tried to do yoga stretches! My doctor said that will take time just to stretch them back out fully but that nothing I do now will ruin the work of sewing them back together.
I have gained about 8 lbs since surgery (I assume some is the implants) but some isn’t. The tighter my waist gets the more unhappy I am that my doctor wouldn’t LIPO my flanks bc I have pretty significant muffin top now which means I STILL don’t feel comfortable and confident in jeans.
My scar can be covered if I wear my underwear a little higher than normal.

I know my opinion isn't worth anything but your body is beautiful! I'm going in for my mommy makeover April 1st. So nervous, so excited. I'm having a breast augmentation, paniculectomy ( my muscle is good) and lipo to the flanks and thighs. I can not wait! My plastic surgeon told me that lipo to flanks was highly recommended because it would bring the waist in. I'm still undecided about what size to go for my breasts. Do your boobs get in the way while working out? Would you change anything?

I felt like at first they did. I just needed to get use to them though. Now the only thing they effect is exercises that require laying on my stomach. I’m able to do everything else active with no difference now.
I’m happy with my surgery beside my flanks. I’m working on more weight loss now to hopefully take care of that but it’s sooo stubborn!

I started my scar treatment last week. I also started cardio and light workouts. I feel more like myself but I still can’t jump or do the usual exercise I’m use to. I still have numbness in my abdomen and lower half of my breast. I don’t wear a bra at night anymore which is nice. I bought pull-up compression garment that looks slimmer under my clothes for daytime wear but I still do the white compression wrap from the doctor most of the time when I’m home and at night.
I’m worried that my flanks and sides are just fat and not swollen. I asked my PS multiple times to do LIPO on them but he said I wouldn’t need it. I sure hope it’s just swelling that will continue to go down.

How are you doing this week? I'm going in on the 17th to get a tummy tuck with Dr. Deisher.

I feel great now. I’m 5 weeks post. I still can’t do all my pre-surgery physical activity like jump or sprint but I feel fine. I’m waiting for swelling to go down and I’m so excited!

Awesome! Do you still feel like it's fat vs swelling in some spots? I also asked about lipo and was told he didn't think it would be needed, so I'm a little weary on that one! Congrats!

I feel like my hips have a bulge that’s gotta be fat but that’s the specific area I asked for LIPO on and he said the same thing. At this point, all I can do is trust the process and hope it goes down over the next few months.
