Starting My Mommy Makeover Recovery

These last two months have gone by so quickly so I’m sorry I missed my 2 month update. But things have really been uneventful when it comes to healing. Everything has been going great. I’ve been putting on my SkinMedica Scar recovery gel 2x a day (Dr. Thomson provided). My belly button has settled nicely, which I was worried about. I’m still quite swollen around my TT scar between my belly button and the lower scar-I’m guessing it’s from the muscle repair. I did notice I must have pulled stitches in the muscle, I had a bad fall on the ice and tried to catch myself not noticing how much I had overstretched at about my 2 month mark. It’s not overly noticeable unless I flex my stomach there is an area on my left side that doesn’t flex in. I did have pain after that but not any more. I’m still getting used to the implants, they have dropped a lot and I’m liking the front view. Still not loving the side profile tho. I’m sure they still have a lot more settling to do yet. I haven’t been able to start exercising much yet so I’m excited to get back into it soon and see the results. Also have been advised to not wear underwire bras yet. I’m not sure for how much longer? But all in all I’m completely back to normal and loving it. No regrets and I can’t explain how much this has helped with my confidence!!

I’ve been feeling really good! I love looking at my stomach become more defined every morning. My boobs…I love from the front view but the side profile not so much right now. But they have ALOT of settling and dropping and I know I’m being super impatient. I’ve started carefully sleeping on my side with a body pillow. Which makes my sleep almost back to normalish. I’ve been getting a tight pinching/lightning shooting pain in both my boobs and tummy but I was told is totally normal and my nerves waking back up. It goes away more everyday. I have some denting under my breasts and puckering on my incisions on my hips I can see now but I’m honestly so surprised how happy I am with my results it doesn’t bother me. And Dr. Thomson said if I did develop dog ears that it’s an easy fix he is happy to do for me.

Starting to feel back to normal. The having to sleep on my back is what really messed with me as I’m a strict side sleeper. I’ve gotten full sensation in my breasts/nipples but very numb on my tummy. So loving every day the swelling gets better and better! I can’t believe how happy I am to see my hips lol. Sorry for the late updates but I tried to at least take pics to show the progress. Everything has gone really smooth. Oh other than I had went WAYYYY too long without having a bowel movement, which I was taking something for every night but it must not have been strong enough because I almost had to go into the ER it was so bad. Lots of mineral oil and aloe Vera juice later and it did the trick. DONT let yourself get too backed up. Trust me. Taking the tapes off was also really nerve wracking, it was a struggle not to get faint so I relied on my hubby a lot and he helped reassure me till I could bring myself to look and I was so pleasantly surprised.
