TT, Implants W/ Mini-lift, Greenville, NC

Update: 9/18/2010 My surgery went really well. Waking up from the anesthesia was horrible. I have never felt so nauseated in my life! For the first few days, the pain was very uncomfortable even with the meds. I was taking them every 3 - 3 1/2 hours just to try to keep up with the pain. The 4th day I was able to go from 6a-11p without meds, but I was starting feel it by the evening. Today I feel GREAT. No meds, I was able to make myself a sandwich and do a couple of laps to the kitchen on my own. I will say that the binder SUCKS. It is itchy, and I am so swollen that it is cutting into me, so I put washcloths between it and my skin. But that just made it so tight I could not get a good breath. And the drain is not my friend. It tugs and pulls, and I can't wait to get it out!! I have to keep the binder on until my post-op appointment on the 20th, so I have not seen the results yet. I do know that I am super swollen, but already smaller than I was (even with the OR sponges and washcloths between the binder and my belly), so I guess that is good. I can't wait to see what I look like!!

Hi everyone! I am scheduled for a TT and breast augmentation (implants and mini-lift). My pre-op is August 31st with surgery on September 13th. I am so very excited about the surgery! But I am also terrified. Not about the pain, or recovery, only about complications (anesthesia, PE's, etc). I try not to think about that though! I am a little nervous about the results because the PS does not do lipo, so there is a chance of still having a bra roll and dog ears. He said if it was an issue that I could come back for lipo, but with my aug and tt he does not want to do any more at one time. I guess time will tell. After 2 kids destroying me, I currently weigh 187lbs (+/- 5lbs) at 5'9", so I am a bigger girl. I am realistic though- I know I am not going to walk out looking like Jessica Alba or something. But I really hope the results are worth it!!
