4 weeks post op- lots of new pics
So not much to update but thought I would add some pics. I saw PS yesterday and he loves how I am healing. I do have some swelling still and as you can see in the pics below my belly button will need lipo. I go back to my PS on Nov 13th and we are scheduling it then. He wants to wait till there is no swelling in that area and he thinks that will take another 2 weeks. I have had great results from the ultrasound therapy on my flanks and back. I posted a pic of my right side which shows what looks like a fat roll- that is actually rock hard tissue! I can tell you my pics dont show it but I am tight and hard all around. The last few pics are in a tan cami- its not compression or a binder as my PS doesnt believe in them. With clothes on I can hard any imperfections so I am good to go. Will update in a week or two.

21 Days post op- fully clothed doesnt look nearly as bad
So these pics show me without a binder (I have never worn one) I am just wear a regular cami from The Limited. It is form fitting but dont not hold anything in. You can see with Jean and the Cami I look ok- a hell of a lot better than before. My only complaint is still my huge hips and the area above pubis, which is under my BB. Without clothes both areas are huge, my doctor says it is still swelling but both areas have not improved in 3 weeks now. I have other areas that swell then get better, then swell again. I am worried that these two area are fat and not swelling. UGH. I see my surgeon on Friday so I will harass him about it again this week. Overall, everything else is good- I will post scar pics this week sometime as my scar looks really good for 3 weeks!

You look really great. I hear you about the "swelling" below your belly button. I know its all normal, but one area is just on the right side and it has not changed and its bigger than the left side. I fear also its fat. :-( My doc says its a seroma. He has drained some but it didn't go down. Going back next Wed. for him to drain more if he can. But he has said if it doesn't go down he will do a revision to make it look normal. But he really feels its just swelling and a seroma. :-)

Yeah keep him posted. I feel validated because today my PS said while I do have some swelling there he is going to do lipo on the area. I go back on the 13th which will be six weeks and he will schedule it then. I feel relieved that I am not crazy for feeling I have been right all along. Also he did another ultrasound therapy session on the hard spots in my flanks and back and he added the stomach as well today. It was suppose to be my last session but he gave me another free one on the 13th so that was great!
