4 Months Post Op

WORTH IT$16,700
I had a follow up with my PS last week and he gave me the thumbs up for all exercise now. He did say my abdomen was still a bit swollen front and center where the muscle repair was the most intensive. That's fine.

I'd say about two to three weeks ago, I turned a huge corner in terms of feeling completely normal again and actually ready to do training again once I got the official okay.

So I started really working out again this week -- doing a dance program and weights. Oh. My. God. I am soooo swollen abdominally now and I had to break my CG back out today for support as my abs feel so uncomfortable at night. Yikes!! My lack of swell hell is now being visited upon me.

I haven't had much of anything else going on. I am super happy with my boobs and tummy tuck, and the lipo area under my chin is starting to loosen up (in a good way -- it was feeling tight like stretched tendons or plantar fasciitis type feeling from where the cannula went I suppose).

I haven't taken any new photos but I will get around to it after this swell hell goes away!

You are ooking great as usual. Your stomach is so flat! What bra size are you now? I too have the 400 cc implants and am waiting for it to drop.
Holding steady at 34DD by VS measurements. 36D fits fine in other brand bras. :)
You look beautiful. You will do any bikini justice. Thanks for sharing and God Bless...
Thank you!! :)
You look so great!!!! You have no swelling! I'm so jealous haha. I'm 3.5 months post and I still have tons of swelling.

For comparison.

This picture was about a year ago, before I lost about 15 lbs pre-surgery, and now. :)
