I saw the doc today. The nurse that has been coming to my house thought the swelling had not gone down enough on my abdomen. He said it looks good and may be a little more swollen than he would like but he is not concerned. He put me on steroids to help.

My stitches look amazing. I think I am healing really well.

I will try to take pics tomorrow.

Hey Jill! Glad to hear you are doing well. I've started using the scar silicone tape today. It was very expensive but my doctor says it works. How many drains do you have?

I was told I would have 4 drains but I only needed 2 and both came out on Thursday. It is good to be drain free. I am below my surgery weight this morning and I still have some swelling. I can't wait to see the final results.

Neither can I! I'm so glad you are drain free. I had mine for 4 weeks (but it took that long to quit smoking). Are youmupmand moving around? What all did you have done?

I had a lower body lift, tummy tuck and breast lift. I am moving around really well. I can't stand up completely straight yet but it has been only 10 days.

Jill, I am getting the breast lift with implants on Aug 9th. Did you get just a lift? Does that part hurt? How does it look?

I love the breast lift. I kinda wish I had gotten implants. They look great but I am used to being a D and I am a C now. They are perky and I love it. The pain has not been bad at all. I rarely have pain. I've heard the implants are more painful because the implants go under the muscle. But I am sure the pain is worth it just like it was for the tummy tuck.
