Your results are pretty amazing so quickly and it will only get better. Congratulations. Recovery goes by quickly. Just take it easy, enjoy a book and your new you.
thank you!! I'm beyond thrilled with my results so far!! I keep thanking the Lord for His protection during this process!!
You look amazing! You are recovering fast. I'm still up in the air about getting a nipple incision. But seeing how you fast you are healing makes me feel like it may be easier than I thought. Keep the updates coming!
I only have the nipple incision because my Dr did a crescent lift with my BA. But honestly, it looks amazing!! My boobs haven't hurt one bit, they mostly feel engorged (like when your milk comes in or better yet, when you stop breastfeeding). So when they feel that way, I just massage them & they feel much better!
Your incisions look so great, you are healing so fast. I know the itching must drive you nuts, it just started for me too. You look amazing(-:
I didn't start itching til my nurse took my drains out & redid my tape. I felt like I was going to go crazy yesterday but last night I put my binder over my tank & felt so much better while I slept! You are looking fab!!
Looking fantastic! So happy to be joining the drain free club tomorrow myself!
Totally love your work!

ONE WEEK POST OP ~

Hi chicks!! I'm feeling pretty darn good today, after taking my first real shower! I have a tip for you girls... while showering, I tied a workout band around my waist & pinned my drains to it. Aww, I feel so fresh & so clean!!

I'm still pretty hunched over, but its getting better everyday. Although I'm swollen (especially below my drains), I am so impressed with my results thus far! & I'm thrilled that I still have not one bruise!! I'm looking forward to getting my drains out on Friday, but to be honest, they haven't really bothered me too much. I feel so blessed that this recovery has been pretty smooth!!

I am happy to see your doing well!
I am so glad you are doing so well! You look great! Great shower tip! My PS gives you a lanyard to pin your drains up on when you shower, but it still pulls a little. I will try your idea!
yeah, I tried around my neck (i read that some others did that), but tying around my waist kept not only my incision from getting soaked but it kept my drains so close to their "outlet", therefor there was no tugging, it was so comfortable!! & i was able to move around easy. I'm so thankful to have a built in bench in our steam shower :) shaving was a breeze!!
Wow you look amazing I am so glad you got your first shower in~:0 ) Happy days ahead~
I have to second Here I Am!! You look amazing!!! Here's to a speedy recovery for you!
You look amazing! So glad that you got to have that shower!!! Probably the most memorable shower you will ever take. LOL!

Ok, I think you are already looking smokin hot, imagine when those bandages come off! Your tummy is one of the best I have seen, and believe me after months of research I have seen a lot! I hope you are feeling better every day(-:
YOU are gonna be SMOKING HOTT!!! SO excited for you!!! & oh, the waxing thing, HILARIOUS!!!
You look reeally good! No bruising! What did you take before your surgery? Your boobies made me want to get some implants. But maybe would be too much at the same time for me since i'm getting tt, breast lift, lipo and brazilian butt lift.
like a week before surgery, I picked up some Arnica from my Naturopath (she has the strongest form you can buy). I started with 3 or 4 a day & have been taking 2 every day post op & I swear that is what has kept the bruising @ bay. I'm LOVING my girls!! They fit my body nicely!! & by the way, unless my Dr said it'd be too much, I'd get it all done @ once ( I tend to like to get things "over with", hence having a 2,3 & 4 yr old). :)
you look great sweetie!
many thanks!!
WOWZA! You look FABULOUS girl! Really, really good! So happy for you and your results!
thank you!!!!!!
Do you still have drains ? And does it
Look like a water bed when you touch it? I'f
So
Call your ps and get i'n to see him ASAP ... He may have to
Drain it I'f there's fluid
still have my drains, he likes them in for 10 days... Dr said to lay low for 24hrs (he wonders if I over did it yesterday) & to call in the am... will go in if it hasn't gone down. my gut says there is fluid ...
