Bit the Bullet and Started Process of Mommy Makeover

Im so happy with my results so far.
Getting the drains removed was quite an experience
Uncomfortable and bizarre feeling like pulling a curly snake from under my skin.
Still swelling, still supposed to wear compression garment and foam 24 hours a day for one more week. Then i get to ditch the foam and continue with compression only for another week. Then move to compression for 12 hours a day.
My butt looks amazing i love it its exactly what i wanted.
My doctor did not recommend bbl pillows or anything like that. He said belly incision was out priority so hopefully my butt holds up.
My doctor said there also has been no science backing the use of lymphatic massage which i found interesting. He said if i want to go for it but he is happy with any massage even ones i do myself. He said use heat to soften tissue that is lumpy and bumpy from lipo. He said that can stick around for 6 to 8 months. I go back in two weeks but feeling good in my skin

Drains aren’t ready to come out but i have been cleared to side sleep and start walking upright
Belly button is moist so they ended up removing the tape. Im so bothered by the fat over my rib cage. My surgeon was very transparent that he would not be able to directly address it because he didn’t want to damage blood flow to lower abdomen. He did undermine and stretch it which helped some

Loving results so far. I am very itchy currently and its driving me crazy but just keeping my garment on and staying moisturized.
Dr said no massages yet, just keep the compression garment on and lipo foam in between my skin and the fabric.
Trying to stay up on hydration.
Pain is still not that bad. I am one pill every six hours along with muscle relaxer.
