Just an update. I'm 7 weeks and 1 day post op and I love the way I'm looking. The recovery can really put you through a rollercoaster but now I'm starting to see that everything I did was very well worth it!!

3 weeks post op

I'm at three weeks post op. Still very swollen, still not standing completely straight but hanging in there. I'm feeling a tiny bit better about tummy tuck results however i'm still not quite happy with my breast size and to make matters worst, now I have a small opened wound around the areola area on both breast. I just want to heal!! I'm going to see the physician assistant tomorrow about the wounds so hopefully we can get that taken care of ASAP. I knew i was going to need lots of patience with healing but man this has been tougher than I expected. I want to get back to my normal life of working out, doing house work, cooking taking care of kids etc. I used to complain about how busy I used to be but I would rather have that crazy busy life over not being able to do much at all. Overall i'm hoping to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. As a patient that has had 4 breast augmentations, I have to say that nothing like that has ever happened, with regards to an open wound around the incision area, especially not the areola. You may want to get that addressed because you don't want scars left there from the wound having to close itself. That's what the stitches are for. I am not a medical specialist but like I said I'm a patient that's gone through this four times and it sounds like the stitches may have been taken out too soon. As for the swelling, give it time to go down. It should be about a month to three months before your boobs get exactly the way they want, especially if it's your first surgery. I know that with my second and third procedures, since the tissue behind a muscle had already been expanded, my swelling time was less and less with each procedure. I do have to say that after the swelling went town, my boobs were about 25% to 30% smaller and I actually miss the sides a little bit. That will be the explanation for my multiple breast augmentation's for increases inside to achieve what the swelling had look like, so be prepared for that if you have it healed significantly in between the date of your procedure and my posting of this comment. The best of luck with everything and may you heal beautifully!
