Happy with breasts - never should have done lipo

I miss my smooth legs. I look back at pictures of them - what was I thinking? I let him do "whatever" because I was at a very low point in my relationship. Sure my tummy needed a great deal of exercise - but - my legs were near perfect. I wish I could go back in time. I am trying to love this new lumpy body - dents on my legs and belly - cellulite that was not all that visible on my legs - very visible now.

Month 13 days?

Little pain still in legs. A bit to the touch or if sitting too long to stand. Eating even more carefully After reading about weight gain after lipo. Scared about that... Possible Weight being distributed to areas I never worried about! Except for slight discolorations, all bruising gone. Just wishing scars wld heal faster. Still numb weird feeling in abdomen and lower back area. Feels stranger to be touched there. Still some hardish lumps. I like being thinner... Can't lie about that. And with the smaller breasts... I'm feeling more like the me I remember. Love breast size sooooo much better.

Scars seem to take forever to heal, it is definitely annoying!

One of my breasts got a bit firmer with last implants.. A bit of Capsular contraction ...so these seem better already. They seem firm but soft to me The shape hasn't changed much since surgery day..but it hasn't been that long. They have gone down a bit size wise.. Which I'm glad for. If I remember from first surgery five yrs ago... They will stabilize size-wise by 3 months. Never had gummy bear teardrop shape so we will see!!
