Am I Actually Doing This? TT, Hip (Saddle Bag) Lipo, BL and BA, The Lee Institute of Plastic Surgery - Roseville, CA

My BL and aug with tummy tuck and lipo on my saddlebags surgery was 4 months ago. I know I'm still healing but there are several things making me question my results. Praying a visit to the DR tomorrow will give me some hope. There are a few things that concern me. 1. I noticed a hard little bump on my left hip about a month or so ago, thought maybe it was a suture that got infected and would eventually dissolve but it's not going anywhere. 2. My upper thighs still have the depression from where my compression garment used to press against the saddlebags that got lipo'd. I even wore maxi pads for almost 2 months under it but I think something is just wrong. It doesn't look right 3. I've been swelling a lot lately. That could be contributed to me slowing on my water intake and imbibing on more salty foods, but it's really rather odd. 4. And worst of all, I noticed a couple days ago there's a strange new white space between the incisions and my areolas. It's like my breasts are stretching and pulling away from the incision site. I preface this by also saying my breasts have dropped, quite a bit! Much more than I would have expected with a lift. I wanted larger, perky breasts that I could feel comfortable enough to occasionally go braless in certain shirts. Now they're like my old ones but with implants, just somewhat less saggy. If I don't have a bra on-it makes me want to cry. My surgery was $16,600....I'm so afraid I'm going to be told this is all normal and expected to walk away accepting my unfortunate circumstance. I'm also afraid to need further surgery and take more time off work for healing. Has any of this happened to anyone else?? Any advice?

Tomorrow will be week 3 since my mommy makeover. Up to this point, I've had no significant concerns about my results. I didn't go through any of the depression many people speak of, and even though I've been pretty swollen I've felt great about my decision. I'm a pretty reasonable person in regards to my expectations. I ever expected to be able to wear a bikini and I don't worry about scars from the incisions, and I only stress a tiny bit when I think I might get big stretch marks on my breasts from the sudden change in size. But when I changed out of my work clothes this evening and did my routine breast massage with cocoa butter stretch mark oil, I have to admit I got a bit concerned. They've dropped, which I knew they would-but I worry they won't be as perky as I'd hoped for. I got a lift and aug so these pretty babies would stand nicely at attention on their own, not [RS bleep] star attention but "wow, nice boobs!" attention, lol. I long to be able to wear cute clothes without a bra every now and then. They are beautiful, my PS did an amazing job on them....am I just stupid for worrying? I know there's a lengthy healing process, I just want to love what I see. I'll take pictures tomorrow so you guys can give me some input. For now-good night all.

This pic was hard for me to take-I'm not a prude but pretty private. It's prior to my daily shower. Living in swell hell. No more pain pump, 1 less drain, doing too much! Can't wait to see my complete results, especially my breast incisions. Monday all will be revealed when the stitches are removed. Hoping left drain will come out too!! It's kind of annoying having what equates to a ball sack attached to my body. Don't feel like much was done on my thighs, but I think it's because of all the swelling. Really missing that pain pump now that things are tingling and healing. Gets better every day though. :)
