58 year old excited to be refreshing for the next phase!

Everything is healing nicely! Dr. Streu is ordering a band to help my implants settle into the breast tissue as they are still sitting a bit high under my chest muscles. I was also advised to start massaging my breasts to keep the implants mobile and to massage my thighs to help with swelling from the liposuction. The nurse told me to order Newgel+ to use on my scars. My surgery package included 2 months of Embrace Scar Therapy for the breast lift and tummy tuck. Perhaps that will be discussed at my next appointment scheduled toward the end of February. Feeling great and feeling confident! :)

It felt good to put on make- up and raal clothes for my office visit today. Incisions healing well. Tape and stiches removed along with one drain. Was told to return by Friday to have the remaining drain removed provided the output remains stable. Also received my compression garment. Progress!!!

Five days post op I am feeling pretty good! I had taken a 5 mg oxycodone going to bed for the first three nights after my surgery, but since then have only needed acetaminophen and ibuprofen for pain management. The only areas experiencing pain from the surgery are the places on my hips where. the tummy tuck drains exit. No real pain in my breasts or thighs. I have had some muscle spasms in my back, perhaps from being in a hunched posture to avoid strain on my abdominal sutures. At this point, I have concluded that the tummy tuck was definitely worth doing. I still haven't been able to decide about the lipo and breast lift.
