Facelift and Tummy Tuck!!

So happy that I had the tummy tuck. Best decision ever. I have not gained weight and am a size 4. I feel so good about my body. The facelift is OK but I have more marionette lines on one side than the other and have gotten injections of voluma to add some volume to my cheeks and to help the marionette lines. Will do a separate voluma review.

I am elated.

One of two drains came out yesterday. The left one was overall draining less than the right so that one was chosen. It was a weird sensation. She had me take a deep breath, expel and as I expelled she quickly pulled it out, there was a little sting (tiny) but the weird thing was how far up My abs I felt it come from. I truly went in thinking both would come out but it it was explained they never take both out on same day and good old righty would still have to be under 30 in the next 24 hours to have been pulled today. But it wasn't so I will have to conceal it under clothes at work. The long row of steristrip was also removed and I am able to start using scar therapy oil on it. I bought a couple to try and PS said try on a little area first so that's what I did. The one that I like the best so far has such a pleasant scent and beautiful texture is called Aroma Trees 12 Vitamin E Oil Complex Serum Beauty E Oil. Got it off Amazon. But I'm going to do more research as I want the best possible scar recovery. The other one is called Bio-Oil by bio-oil USA. It was highly reviewed but I preferred the scent and feel of the first one. What are you using on your scar?

My head staples and sutures were also removed. However, I don't think the nurse who was working on the left side snipped all of them so I will have them checked when I go back for drain removal. I am now allowed regular shampoo, face products. Yippee! My hair is on the short side so I'm also going to request a little more attention behind the ears so no sutures or scabs are visible. Only two more days to get "normal" and very rested looking. I did some clothes shopping today and got some nice things for work but won't be able to wear them until drains are out because no where to hide drain bulb. At work I will probably say I hurt my back to explain the inevitable slouching over. I always have struggled to maintain good posture and this TT makes that moreso. There is no way I will be able to keep a perfect posture going for an 8 hour day let alone more than 10 minutes at a time.

I washed my CG today and it is in the dryer so I tried my Miraclesuit garment and good thing I did because I really am not happy with it. Mainly because although there is an open crotch I still peed all over the damn thing. That would NOT have been cool at work. Today I bought some tummy control panties and will give them a try tomorrow. I feel most supported and comfy in the CG from PS.

Will post side by side pix another day ... am worn out from being busy today but it felt great to be out and about and we had perfect weather so I spent time sitting on the deck with a big floppy hat on to protect face and suture areas from the sun. Even did a little stand up gardening cutting off faded peonies, deadheading geraniums and pulling weeds from deck pots.
