Braline Back Lift and Breast Lift - Salem, OR

Well, it's 10 weeks later. I'm healing every day. I am back to regular activity including bellydancing. I am still not wearing any underwires except for in my costumes. After a day of underwire, I'm pretty uncomfortable. I am back to the gym but I take it easy when I feel my body protesting. I still can't believe this is my body sometimes. Sometimes I wake up and I think I will still have my old body. It's a strange emotional journey. I did gain a little bit of weight after I had initially lost some weight because of post surgical lack of eating. Now that I'm back at the gym I think that will be easy to regulate. About four weeks after my surgery I had two ovarian cysts that burst and a kidney stone so that set me back a little bit. It was a crazy little time! I am using some oils on my scars now since everything is closed and healing. There are a few scars that are pretty gnarly but for the most part I think it's right on track.

Getting there!! Glue still in some spots. Still sore. Sleeping is easier, thank goodness. Tylenol still for pain.

Well another week in the books!! 17 days post op. I overdid it last week. Should not have lifted so much. It is so difficult to ask for help, but trust me, you need to in order to heal properly. So now I'm taking it easy and backing up a bit. Incision sites are still covered in glue in spots and stitches have not fully dissolved but it looks better. Only Tylenol for pain. I'll tell ya.... it's a love-hate relationship with the compression garment!! Haha!!
