Healing

A

Healing day by day. One breast still high, with the high divot in the bottom scar I suspect will keep my implant from properly dropping into its pocket. 6 weeks (about) and I still get a sick dull ache in my breasts when I try to lay on my side. Stomach scar is purple but healing nicely. Starting to notice a little dog ear on one side. Swelling is pretty substantial, local doc (not surgeon) tried to drain with syringe and got nothing. Flesh below stomach scar a shade more purple than above, and it's very hard down the center of my stomach and around belly button. Belly button healing nicely though! Still zero nipple sensation.

Asymmetry

A
Anarosie
Lot of swelling with tummy tuck, still can't really sleep on side. Concerned about a dip in the scar under one breast, and the asymmetry. Wasn't really uneven to begin with and surprised to see it so pronounced after lift. Doc days to give it another month and let everything settle, trying not to be bummed.

Your boobs look super high still. Are you massaging? I would ask the surgeon about a band too.

They're very high, just under my collarbone. I massage the top and armpits as advised, just got permission to wear band at night.

It takes up to 3 months the drop and fluff from what I hear, and they don't always want to do it at the same time.

Just starting to stand a little straighter. Boobs are still really high, reluctant to drop. I have a stitch that protruded from my TT scar, gonna trim it under advice tonight. Breast scars seem to be healing ok but I have asymmetry and a flat spot on the bottom that I'm hoping even out as I drop. Tired of being in compression garments and sleeping on my back, but it's nice the way my clothes fit even over the garment!
