New bra and size is 36DD
My hubby bought me a couple bra's! I know I can fit into a 36D but was having a hard time finding my size. We went to Walmart and I only found 1 so I also grabbed a 36DD and it fits!!! Im so excited???? Here's a picture! Just as a reminder I had Mentor Memory Gel high profile round smooth 450cc's and I was a b/c prior!
Muscle Repair Worries
Ok I'm hoping you ladies that had muscle repair with your tummy tucks see this and can help me out or reassure me that this is normal. About a week ago while massaging bio oil all over my belly, I felt a lump about hand width above my belly button. It's where the muscle repair was done. I haven't done any ab workouts or anything, just my normal everyday things. I'm not as active as I should be, so maybe that has something to do with it? I'm not sure, but I do know that it's painful. Can anyone help me out or have any personal experience with this? I'd greatly appreciate it???? I took a picture of me pointing to where I feel the lumps. There's just 2, but everyone worries about stuff like that. I'm hoping it's just scar tissue. I can't just go see Dr. Mel as I'm in Western NY and he's in Miami lol otherwise I'd just schedule an appointment????
14 weeks Post Op
Hi Ladies! Here's another update on me! Sorry it took so long and hopefully I didn't mess up anyone's research on here. I ended up getting a stronger compression garment from Walmart and to my suprise was able to fit into a size small(5). Though with regular clothes Im still wearing all of my normal clothes. I do find myself pulling up my pants a lot more! My stomach looks nice and flat to me! Listen...we all still look for and find flaws in ourselves, even when we look amazing!!! I'm very happy with how I'm healing and drain sites took a lot longer to heal than I thought , but my left side appears to be fully closed and healed and ny right side is scabbed over and half the size it was! AND I'm so in love with my boobs lol Here ate a bunch of pictires i have taken a long the way and I'll have them labeled for you all! Also, I think I may have what they call dog ears? It could just be how my hips are healing... I just cant wait to wear a bikini next summer and how I will look lol I know i still have healijg to do... They do say swelling can hang around for about a year and I'm not faithful when it comes to wearing my compression garment! Thanks to all you ladies for checking up on me and your interests in my healing and results.....;-) Sorry for the over load of pictures! Hope I didn't over do the boob shots lol
Provider Review
Im from out of state! My coordinator was Lizbeth she was very nice but not a lot of communication. For pre-op I spoke with Evelyn, she was always very helpful and sweet. Alex with their finance Dept was sweet and the ladies at front desk were really nice! The anesthesiologist was very nice as well. Dr. Ortega is funny, sweet and informative and very professional! I would definitely recommend this doctor and staff!!
