Boobs and Belly Button For Me

Ok, so I think I'm pretty much healed, I feel great, sometimes my scar itches, its really big and really ugly, but my tummy looks great. My stomach still feels a little numb, but honestly I kind of like the feeling, it tingles when I run. I feel great. Now, on to my feelings of disappointment. My breasts aren't semetrical, one was naturally bigger than the other and the implants were filled the same. I would have perfered to have them balanced since I was having them operated on for aesthetics reasons. Since one is bigger than the other they did not fall to the same level, so my they aren't even. Granted that is in part my fault as I did not do my breast massages as directed but seriously, should breast massage be mandatory? My belly button, I didn't realize that my belly button was naturally off center, but I would think that a cosmetic surgeon would have been able to see that and at least give me a warning about it. I would have perfered that he lined my new belly button up with my clitoris, I think that should have been possible. My tummy scar isn't semetrical, I wish he could have done it with less of an angle and low cut, instead of the curved cut that goes nearly three inches up. I just don't understand why cosmetic surgical scars can't be done smoothly and evenly. My mound really could have used a little lipo. When I read that other docs do lipo on the mound when they do tummy tucks I thought that was genius, they really should attempt to make everything smooth. All in all, I am very happy with my results, but I do wish that these little things had been taken care of. I hope any one getting a mommy make over addresses these issues with their surgeon before hand. My doctor did not volunteer any of this information, and I didn't have reason to think of these issues before hand. But when, I get my next surgery I will. (10-20 years from now after gravity has given me more tissue to work with) I really would like to have my breasts closer to the center of my chest so I think I might look for a surgeon who uses the "bacon bra" from Botched, perhaps they can put it in my breasts to push them in ward. Would I recommend my Dr? I think I would, I would just ask him about the issues I had to see if their is any way to not have my concerns after.

So, I went to the doc today and as expected I have fluid in the tummy. But, its just a little bit and the doc said we could let it be and see if it goes away on its own. I have this nasty scar wound that got gross last time. The scab grew onto the ab cover and got ripped off when I took it off. So I showed the doc and he said to put some xeroform on it and it should be fine. I asked about returning to work and what not. He said I should be able to start living again, showers, walking, moving and such. Still take it easy, no work for now. I suggested staying out of work till November 2, he said that should be fine. So there we are I'm free to return to life and have the ok to not work for a little longer. Oh yeah he also said the boobs are still high must squish the right one down for four minutes a day and lefty for two.

Maybe tummy tucks don't suck and its really just complications that suck. On the 8th I saw that nurse for a dressing change and to check to see if there was any fluid, and there was a little. The nurse folded 2 abdominal pads into quarters stuck them over the fluid pocket, and suffed me into a new body suit then replaced my compression wrap. She said I could shower Sunday (today), and to continue to rest. Hopefully with the compression wrap the fluid will reabsorb into my body and and things could be fine.
The days leading up to today have been rough, the new body suit was for women who had thigh lipo and a tummy tuck, it had the open crotch and butt for potty time. It was most uncomfortable garment ever. To tight on my ribs, to tight around the potty opening, just super uncomfortable. Sleeping has been pretty hard, I can't get comfortable. I spent my days in a rocking chair instead of my recliner, as I began to think it was probably the reclining that was causing the fluid. Honestly, I have been more comfortable in the rocking chair than the recliner.
So, today I got up and take a shower, oh it was great. It was my first shower since surgery that I really was able to enjoy. I wasn't tired, I was able to do everything, I knew how to handle the suture site. It was very nice. After my shower I took some pictures to show the progress. hubby and I looked for signs of fluid. It's there. I should have taken a pic of my little fluid pocket. Perhaps next time.
Then, hubby re-wrapped me. He put on my last body suit, that I have decided to love in spite of the clippy crotch. So, now here I sit, with very little to do awaiting tomorrow when I will have an other needle stuck in my belly to drain 15 CC's of blood from my belly and be told to keep on sitting. So sad. I think I am going to to have to ask some questions, this sitting thing has gotten old. I need to do just a little more than sit. Maybe just walk, walks around the block and showers would make me so much happier. Anything would be appreciated
