Plastic Surgery?

How is the pain?

No pain. I took pain medicine for the first 24 hours but that was more preemptively. The worst part was the itching. I had some reaction to the plastic strips on my incision. Once my doctor removed those, it was a lot better.

My ass seems to have come out better than I thought. I'm not used to having a normal ass. To me it was just one cheek with a crack in it. Not used to have two separate cheeks. I don't know why this is an adjustment for me.

I'l post some pics when I get these drains out. It's hard to take good pics wearing a binder and having these drains hanging out.

The numbness around my waist is weird and will take some time to get used to. When I remove the binder, it almost feels as if I'm still wearing it. Still not sure I will have these drains out by Tuesday. There really hasn't been any pain but some soreness in the tail bone area when I sit.

Got two drains out but still have one left. This last one seems stubborn.

Hope your recovery continues well and you're thrilled with your results. I know it was the best decision for me

Surgery is tomorrow. I leave with some before photos. Not having the chest done yet. Doing a Tummy Tuck and lower body lift.

Two weeks now and I finally got some after pics. Stomach is obviously still swollen and I still have one drain in.

Wow looks great already! The side view especially, huge difference.

Thank you for sharing. Are you pleased so far?

I am pleased. My stomach is still pretty flat despite the swelling. Backside is also better than I thought. Finally have a normal waistline.

So glad things have gone so well for you :-)

When the swelling is all gone - You will look great!!

Nearly three weeks and this last drain doesn't seem close to coming out yet. My stomach is still pretty swollen. With all this Fluid from this last remaining drain, I hope I don't develop a seroma in my stomach.

It's weird to me when people in USA etc have drains in for so long - I never had any of my drains in for more than 3 days when I was going through my operations. And I had no problems from that - I guess different countries do things in vastly different ways.

Glad you are doing so well :-)

Doctor said it cannot be removed until the output reaches a certain level and it just isn't close to reaching it yet.
