After having 3 children, I decided it was time!!! I am 27, in shape but my boobs are smaller than I started and my skin on my abdomen gets saggier the skinnier I am. I am 6 weeks post op. I went with 400 silicone HP. The recovery was miserable for me. As soon as I stopped taking pain meds(next day cuz I didn't hurt!) I'd wake up at night and my whole body would shake with tremors. I developed anxiety at first about complications and then about nothing. I cried about what I did to myself and regretted it 100%! Now, I'm on an antianxiety and feel GREAT! I can hold my baby again, drains out, I can stand straight, and sneeze with minimal pain:) I'm so glad I did this, just wasn't mentally prepared for the procedure. Healing takes time, everything is temporary, keep calm and carry on. I developed a seroma 12 days po when drain was removed. I had it aspirated once and it's gone. Dr ness also has a patient coordinator, Mikaela. I'd text her ten x a day with my worries! She was fabulous!

I'm already 7 weeks! Next week I should get the ok to take off cg but I think ill keep it on a little longer! I'm so afraid of the seroma coming back. I went shopping and bought some jeans and felt great when my belly didnt gush over the top of them:) my butt needs a good workout! I can't wait to run again. Anyone know when I'll be able to do this?

Hi! You look beautiful! I swear though I can't get over how many similarities we have, lol! At 8 weeks I tried to jog, and I quickly walked and jog a little for an hour on the track and was swollen for a week. I haven't done it again. If he tells me I can in September then I will, but not until then, lol. Maybe it'll work better for you, plus I'd wear the binder (I didn't and maybe that's why I swelled). Good luck!

I had the ok to run very slowly...more jog at 4 weeks. I am 7 weeks now and am getting closer to my normal pace. It feels so good to run again! Every surgery is different though so definitely ask your ps. I was lucky and have had a very smooth recovery. :)

7 weeks and seroma
LovinmeAugust 7, 2013
My seroma was aspirated at 3 weeks and I haven't noticed it since. Until yesterday I noticed the waterbed effect just under my bb. It's smaller than before but still worries me. I've seen patients having trouble w this over a year out. I went to get fitted and was sized 32DDD!!!! I didn't believe it so I went to 3 other stores...believe it or not that's my #! Not many stores carry that size. Good thing sports bras are so comfy:)

Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm sure it's helpful for others to know that it can be rough, but it does pass. I'm glad you're feeling so well now. You certainly look fabulous!
