Boy have time fly! Everyday boobs are softer and tummy is flatter. Hematoma is still there but I can see that it's slowly getting smaller. There's still a possibility that I will have to get it aspirated a couple of times at post op visits. I don't care as long as it help get rid of it. I just hope it doesn't require additional surgery. Boobs are still uneven and need to drop a bit more. I've always had a slight asymmetry before BA and I know going bigger will make it more obvious but regardless I'm still happy with my result. You can't tell if I'm wearing a bra so it doesn't bother me too much. Scars looking good considering it's only been 6 weeks. All in all I'm very happy even though I ran into small complications. I'm ready to start working out but I know my body and it's telling me to wait until another month or so. I'm just tired of feeling flabby lol. So far it's worth it but until I'm closer to 6months or so I'll change my rating from unsure to worth it. I don't want to jump to a conclusion when I'm still healing. Anyways happy Friday ladies!!

Your scars have gotten so much lighter since your last post. You're looking fantastic. Happy healing and you'll be at the gym before you know it.

Thank you girl! I've been using New Gel Silicon treatment and it's definitely working.

I like how mine look in the sports bra too but in a regular bra I don't. Do u feel the same way?

Hi Cindy! actually I really haven't had the chance to go bra shopping yet and I'm waiting until they're completely done drop/fluffing to do so. I bought a wireless maternity bra from Target and it gave me the same look as the sport bra I have on and I love it. It's so comfortable and there's very little padding too. You should check it out.

You look amazing! Do you have a scar cream you plan on using? I'm 2 weeks out from surgery...

Thanks and congrats on your mommy makeover journey! Well I've tried Scar Awaay strip and I don't care for that. Im using Scar gel right now and I really like it so far. It's about $50 on Amazon for the big size and that lasted me about a month.

Looks great! I started using the 1-4-All peel by ********** on my scar after a few weeks and helped it fade to almost invisible. It's meant for face, mostly, but worked on lightening and smoothing the scars a ton.

Oh cool! I'll have to check it out. Do you any pics of your scar progression?

So much happen happen since the last post! Day 6-18

Day 6 I got a cold. Really!?!? I hardly ever get sick and figures perfect timing. When you're 6 days out of surgery and you have to cough, sneeze, blow your nose is ecruciating! By day 8 I was able to do light cooking, cleaning and caring for myself without any help. I wasn't in any pain beside at times my lower back hurt. I know my body and I usually rest when I feel like I'm doing too much. Dr said I have a small hematoma on the right side of my tummy so I had to keep the drains in still....It sucks! I can't shower normally and I refuse to wait until the drain is out to shower. I was careful enough to not get the incisions wet. The drain site was starting to get really uncomfortable though. It's really red and itch! It kept getting tug and pull on. On day 15 I finally got my drain remove. Dr said I have to come back and drain the hematoma with a syringe a couple of more times:( I'm hoping that it will resolve on its own because it's small and not painful. I've read other reviews here where Dr said worst case is another surgery to remove it. I'm praying it's not the case here. My boobs looks good so far even though the right side still need to drop. I don't think I have a capsular contraction since I can see that it's slowly catching up with extra massages. I'm wearing my band over my boobs and make it an "S" figure. It will add more pressure in helping my right boob falling into place faster. My boobs look so different already. It's soft too. Other than that I have no complaints. It's the perfect size for my body. I can't wait to start working out again. My legs are flabby and my waist is bigger than before. I know I know.....patience is the key lol

Feeling blah!! So greatful my hubby is taking an amazing care of the kiddos! 4 days post up pics

Finally get to see my babies!! Everyone was happy except my 1year old. He's pissed at me. He wouldn't even let me kiss him yet he's smiling at me. I guess I'm glad it's that way since I'm. Unable to hold him anyways lol. Definitely feeling blah, dirty and yes....fat. I'm bigger and heavier than preop but I guess that's to be expected. I was 125lbs before and now I'm 133 ???? The hubby has been on daddy/mommy duty and he's doing a great job. I'm feeling better each day but I am a very impatient person and I wish I can fast forward pass this stage. I email some pics of me to Dr Seify and now just waiting for him to call me regarding my drain/swollen tummy situation. Anyways I'm getting tired, gonna take a nap. I'll keep you ladies posted.

you look great!! As for the swelling that just a part of it I'm 16 wks post op and still have swelling and sometimes look like I have a beer gut! Lol I'm very impatient as well and the #1 thing I've learned with this surgery is that you have to have patience or you'll drive yourself nuts! Happy Healing.
