So Rod says I have a lot of swelling and as far as the lower abdomen I'm supposed to lay off massaging it for awhile.

There is some fluid there, and we think it's since the drain healed and closed really quick under the navel. Everything else drained a lot, except from there.
I will be going back next week, and seeing whether we need to extract the fluid or not or if it will be absorbed.

He says it's looking good, but I still have a lot of healing to do, and I should take it a little more easy. My bad... :)

Rod explained everything thoroughly during the procedure. Any concern or question he gladly answered in depth. I felt very comfortable being in his hands. Letty, his assistant, is as sweet as can be and was incredibly helpful and informative. I emailed a few questions that I mentioned were not urgent and got a phone call 5 minutes later.

Day 6 Post OP - Bruising

So it seems like maybe after surgery swelling is happening now? Because my stomach now looks like it "popped" and it's out way more. At least this is what I'm hoping because I looked the way my stomach looked like day 3, and I think it looks worse today I think that is normal and I just gotta be patient?

I believe I wore the undergarment too tight and I had bruising on my hips a lot. Perhaps its my body's way to bounce back. I will upload photos later tonight when my phone is charged.

Anyway, I'm going in for my first check-up tomorrow morning.


I will admit I did go to a club and danced a little bit. So perhaps my body is punishing me for that, although I hope it's not permanently! I like the way the stomach was flush between the hips and actually tummy.

So feels like my lower abdomen is bruised. There will remain SOME breast tissue under the right nipple, we'll see how it looks once I heal and pack on some muscle. I'm not too concerned.

I am still draining, I massaged morning and evening and it felt better. The actual abs are a little wavy, but maybe that is muscle underneath?? I don't even know, since I've never seen muscle show through my stomach

I will post better pre-Op photos when I get them form the office, those were like a month out.

Going Halloween. Shopping with my friends... Might be a mummy since I already have the garment ;)

Thanks, still have a lot of pain in my love handles. Every time I move I think of the same pain when he was jabbing that fat, he said it was much more fibrous than the stomach fat.
