Two weeks!

It's been two weeks now since the procedure and I feel great! The swelling has gone down significantly and is now very minimal. I have no discomfort besides some tenderness along the incision but it's not bad at all. I still have some stitches that have not dissolved yet and had my dr trim some down today that were poking me causing some stinging. I've gone back to my daily routine and start working out yesterday only doing arms nothing involving legs, but my doctor said I should be cleared for that next week. I experienced some pretty extreme swelling so anyone else that does as well just make sure to take it easy and ice as often as possible and all should be good! I'm very pleased already with the result so I can't wait to see the final product in the coming weeks!

I'm so glad that you're recovering well: that bruising and swelling really was extreme, thank goodness they're going.
It'll be great when your stitches are out and itching is over.
I'd think your care on cleansing is helping a lot by keeping possible infections at bay, well done for your attention to detail.
I wish you well for a continued good recovery.

The past few days

Today is day 5 after my surgery. The past few days have been mostly laying on the couch and icing on and off. Thanksgiving I was walking around a little more and sitting up while family was over and it wasn't to uncomfortable. I swelled up pretty bad on the right side and haven't seen much change in it until today, which I am very excited about to actually see some change. I haven't been in any pain just tender and hard to walk right because of the swelling and stitches rubbing. Showering has been fine and I clean with a squirt bottle after using the bathroom, which also helps a lot when it's a little itchy. My follow up appointment is Monday and I'm excited to see what more progress will be made in the next two days!

Looks like the bruising is happening pretty quickly, just a couple of more colours in the spectrum (green and yellow) until your back to your own colour: it looks terrible but shows your healing.
Early days but really promising for the results you want.
Just think, in a few days you'll be seeing the new you, great.
I hope your appointment went well today.

One side is definitely more swollen than the other. Haven't had any bleeding or pain today just very sore and tender.

Very well done on taking the brave decision to have surgery. I'm glad it went well.
I find it difficult to give much more advice than 'iwantthestars'. So what I reckon is: let your mom help you as it's wonderful she has so far; you have had surgery to remove excess skin and tissue from a very delicate area so try not to hurry to do things and listen to your body as to when you think you can try your gentle steps; alas you will have physical pain for a while as you recover but try and think of the long term benefits; surgery can make us emotional so if you feel upset for no apparent reason, well, that's a reason, and remember you've had the surgery for a very good reason, to ease your discomfort, whether that was physical or emotional or both.
You've been strong to have surgery.
I wish you a swift and successful recovery and the outcome you want in terms of looks and feel.
