This is the same suit, a month before surgery and 9 days after. I only put it on for a pic. I'm not supposed to wear anything yet

So I'm really starting to feel normal again. I went out with some friends last night for drinks (only one for me! I know booze is a no no while healing) the hardest part is figuring out what to wear since I can't wear a bra yet. The right implant is still riding higher and tighter but not nearly as bad. My armpit area still is pretty sore because of the lipo but I love the results. Sometimes my nipples are really sensitive and the incision point is healing pretty good. I have dissolvable stitches and one was sticking out and poking my scar so I I had my friend snip it and it was way better after! It just was a tiny part sticking out I don't think it made any difference in my healing. The photos don't make them look as good as they do in person. I'm really happy with them so far. There is zero bruising and I have only been taking Tylenol during the day and occasionally a muscle relaxer. I've still been going out of my way to rest a lot and lay down when I feel tired. I ordered a bra for when I can wear it hopefully starting Tuesday!

Pain pills make me crazy emotional- I finally got to shower!

So last night I was a wreck. I panicked after seeing the doctor because I felt rushed and felt like I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing. I felt like I may have something wrong because my right hasn't dropped yet but after looking at other peoples pictures I guess I am not alone. It just made me nervous when he said to keep pushing down on it or it may have to be reopened. I have a lymphatic treatment later today so hopefully that will help. Again sorry about my rant. I really do like Dr.Broadway I think I just felt insecure and needed a little more hand holding and reassurance that it would be ok. Ill let you know how it goes. Today I am leaving my hotel and my mom is going home so I will be on my own. Well sort of, I'm staying with a friend but am not expecting her to help me at all. I finally got to shower today and that felt awesome! I still get really exhausted after doing anything for more than 30 min so I guess i will need to just take it easy. I am cleaning my wound with half water and half hydrogen peroxide and putting neosporin on it after. Sometimes it feels like I am stretching the wound open so I just put extra creme on it. That never leaves my side! I have reduced my pills to one muscle relaxer during the day and one at night with a pain pill if I can't sleep but I really don't want to use them at all. I was told I can come off the antibiotic now so that is nice as well. I take tylenol every 6 hours and that has been holding me pretty good so far!

Hey....it gets better!!! I had a really rough first 4 days then all of a sudden I was doing everything on day 5....still pretty sore sometimes though:/ I was told the same thing as you, just massage up down and to the sides and eventually they will drop. I actually decided to use a soft bra and put it over the top of my breasts like a compression strap.....it works great and I can actually tell where the pockets he made are! I wear that a couple hours a day, and massage five times a day:) Good luck!!
