4 weeks post op--new photos
sunsweetiehbJune 21, 2013 Hi all. So I am officially 4 weeks post op as of yesterday. This recovery is no jobke, as my ribs and stomach are still sore and tender to the touch. I've begun to feel like my sides are itching, but when I go to scrath, I am numb, so thats a weird sensation. I think I did get booty greed a little bit, because although I got fantastic results, I wish my booty were bigger. My husband says that he would hate it if it were bigger though because of how small I am. I just thankful that I was able to get enough fat to show a difference at all. I'm still waiting for swelling to go down, as I can see and feel the swelling. I went back to the gym last week to do minimal workouts (arms, some squats, the stair master, etc.), which felt okay, but my stomach is so darn sore. I have not been the best with taking care of my new booty the way that I should. I work at a desk and for the past week have been sitting on my booty regularly. My ankles could not withstand standing on them any longer (8 hours on your feet in heels is a little hard). Also, I was without a garment for about a week. I am now in a size small Marena garment, but now that even feels like it isn't tight enough in my stomach, so I will most likely get the XS squeem vest to really suck it all in. I have posted photos and tried to label the time period. If I could not sit or touch my butt to anything for 6 weeks I would have, but its "do as I say no as I do" with me I suppose. I will be getting the remaining 680cc that I have frozen injected for more projection closer to October or November. :) I am happy with my results and feel much better in clothing. I don't have a muffin top anymore when I put on pants, which is nice and my stomach is starting to look really flat. The scar tissue is still hard in my stomach, and I try to massage it with body wash while I'm in the shower. I also have access to our ultrasound machine while at work, but Dr. Bandy says that I'm still so early in my healing that my scar tissue will soften and my swelling will continue to go down. My new compression garment ends above my knee and by the end of the day, when I take a shower, my knees look like bowling balls, so I know I have a lot of swelling still, which is exciting for me to know that I will continue to shrink in size, just hopefully not my behind!
