I developed a seroma on my upper abs. Aspirated 3 times over 6 weeks. At last visit Dr. Bauer said the small amount of fluid would go away on it's own. He released me to return annually. I'm very satisfied with my results.

If I can get these 8 pounds off that I have gained I think it will be just what I wanted.

My recovery was very easy. I had very little muscle separation which may be why I had minimal pain.

Breasts feel very natural. I had a breast reduction 20 years ago. I am anxious to see my final results in the next few months. Much firmer and fullness in upper pole is back.

Feeling great. PS said I could go without my binder or wean myself out of it. I have been wearing Spanx during the day and I sleep without compression garment. Sleep is SO much better.

Hi Hoss_1978, I'm just checking in on your one year anniversary. How is everything going, are you still happy with your results? We'd love an update if you have the time!

10 days out and drain free!!!

Removed 2nd drain on day 8. Less than 20 output. Kinda feel like I'm swelling in upper ab. Could be my diet but trying to clean that up today.

Found a stitch on my left breast. It is black around the stitch. Dead tissue or glue??? Praying for a scab or glue. Will call PS on Monday. Could this be a dissolvable stitch?? I have black flecks and really thin black lines on my breasts. Kinda obsessing.

All stitches, tape and one drain removed yesterday. 2nd drain will probably come out tomorrow. Tummy looks great so far....I was a little swollen yesterday but that is better today. I bought new sports bras today. Hope these babies go down a cup size.....Feeling great! Pain has been minimal. Boobs hurt more than TT. Wear binder and sports bra 24/7. Return appointment in another week. Ready for the implants to drop and fluff to final results.
