Well I'm about 3weeks post op. I'm actually starting to love my new breasts as they soften day by day. They r huge to me still but that's because for 9yrs I've been running around with an a/b cup and most of that was skin :/ my tummy and flanks r still swollen. Does anyone else have a swollen lower belly and swollen pubic area? I can't feel my pubic area when I shave!!! I'm nervous about that. I'm hoping I don't have excess fluid built up. I see my ps next week. I also can't stand straight still...I force myself to but when I take my binder off I realize I'm still a bit hunch back :( uuugh 3weeks is freaking me out cuz I still feel so slow in the game. I guess I'm a late bloomer lime I was in my teens lol...I'm a late bloomer at healing. But hey at least I have boobs now haha ...more pics to come soon. Smoochez ya"ll

I'm hello! You are so tiny! All my swelling is in my pubic lower abdomen area and I'm numb too so don't worry that's totally normal. I'm still having alot of swelling. My ps said it takes 3/4 months for most of it to go down significantly. I'm going to try a lymphatic massage soon maybe thatll help speed things along. Anyways you look awesome girl. Your stomach and waist look good! More pics more pics please!

I'm glad I'm not the only one lol. I did a little research today on these topics on RS and realized that it is normal. It's a bit ignorant of me, but I just thought.".well I'll get the mommy makeover and be fine in a month." But nope..that's not how it works. I've learned a lot about waiting for things. Life can't just give you what you want right when you want it. It's been a learning experience that's for sure. But it's worth it!

You look awesome, girl! So jealous of your boobs! I'm sorry you're not standing straight yet. I'm sure it will happen any day. That part drove me crazy! I was actually willing to borderline hurt myself to get straight, because I like to stretch. Not like yoga stretch, just lay in bed or in a chair and just twist and stretch. You are already looking so thin and curvy! Be well friend!

I've noticed its also a matter of the cg. If I wear a very firm cg I'm fine with standing straight. If I wear my second stage I'm a hunch back again. Time is just the secret to all of this. I've also been doing light stretches as well...nothing crazy tho'. Thank u for ur support...its really nice to have :)

Let's talk stage 2 compression garments

User Avatar

galcalledoz
So technically I was a day short of my two week when I posted yesterday. Today is officially my two week mark. Tonight I have decided to switch to a 2nd stage compression garment. I actually haven't even tried it on yet, but I hope it' s snug and perfect for the next few weeks of recovery. The garment I ordered isn't the most sexiest thing you have ever seen but it will serve it's purpose. It also will work well under pants and skirts. I'm still thinking this current garment my doctor gave me is much too tight. It has a lot of seams and it's making a lot of lines on my skin. I heard that can be permanent if it's too tight. I also have researched that some ps's don't even have their patients wear a binder, or cg the entire recovery process. I guess really it comes down to the comfort of the patient. I decided to order a Marena female bodysuit. It's the FBT post operative stage 2 garment. I can wear a sports bra with it. My next cg into the 6-12 weeks will be something I can move around in while working out and I've been finding a few that look really nice in those later weeks. I'm really hoping this one I ordered will be perfect for my body and be just what I'm looking for. I'm sure I'll get a few spanx from target too for special occasions when I go out next month for parties here and there.

Shake that funk off girl!! Your results will not look anything like you look today, tomorrow or even in a month. Your body just went through major surgery so it needs time to bounce back from all that trauma. You are going to look amazing, I mean already those boobs, WOW!!! I am so freaking jealous!!!

I'm hoping mine go down..but I had a lot of extra skin removed. So it's realky hard to say what will happen. I hope they even out too, one seems a bit larger than the other and it's kind of annoying. I thought that was the point of the bl and ba....to get them to be perky and match :)

They are still at the early stage if healing and will drop and get softer. Did you have more breast tissue on one side to begin with?

Sorry lol my reply went above yours

September 26, 2013
Yes exactly! I did...so the larger one is still larger even after. I thought for some reason he would b able to correct that. But imagine it they will drop and soften but one will still b larger. But I guess its better than before right :) so I shouldn't complain.

Hey gals' well somehow I've managed tot make the 2 week mark. It did go pretty quick, but that's probably because the first week I was drugged up daily lol and slept a lot. I see a few changes, but I'm still prettyuch swollen all around my flanks and tummy. I have bruising. My breasts r gigantic right now and it will b a great day when they have finally dropped and softened. I'm excited to take pics every week and see the transformation. I look forward to working out again and dance my thighs off ;) luv u girls thx for stopping by!
