Almost 3 mos post TT/BA&lift



Recommended Posts

Wow! You look great! Especially 10 days post op! I was so swollen the first 4-6 weeks and I would've been way too scared to put on an underwire bra! :P I actually am not allowed to wear underwire until April 8 (my actual 3 mos post op date). Your body rocks! Congrats! :)

You look amazing! I too was so swollen afterward my Tummy Tuck that I actually had to go buy bigger sweatpants. I don't know what your trick was to managing the swelling, but I am jealous!

You look great. I'm 10 days post op from Tummy Tuck and breast LIFT

Omg! You look awesome!

I'm 16 days post op TT & uplift and look nowhere near as flat as you... How do you keep the swelling down- I can't stand as straight as you either *sighs*.

I have a seroma and it is not going away, surgeon won't drain cos he doesn't want to risk infection ... I wanted him to but hey-ho.

Please share any handy hints, cos I'm getting fed up of the swell hell!

Thanks everyone. I actually weighed 10 pounds more the day I came out of surgery. I was so freaked out and worried. I was so swollen for 5 days and couldn't imagine I was going to look any better and just out of no where my body released all that Fluid in a few days. It was so weird. I can't wear underwire either. I just put this on to try on because my boyfriend came home from Victoria secrets with some gifts. FYI. I had sleeve surgery 2 years ago.

I keep the swelling down by wearing an almost full body compression garment. It goes from my knees up to Underneath my breasts. The other one goes from my breasts down to the other one. He has foam pads also inserted everywhere inside the garmet

I will be wearing it for one month. Then from there he says he has a spanks like garment for me. Not sure I need it. I've had 7 surgeries in 7 years...not all weight related....back surgery, jaw surgery...broke my jaw, gall bladder, fibroid tumor in uterus...etc etc and every time the docs was amazed at how fast I recovered. After my back surgery I walked right out of the hospital. No physical therapy...nothing. I'm just very lucky. That's all. Nothing I've done. I can't take credit really. I do follow all doc instructions tho.

I want to also want to ad I had top surgeons in every surgery where I live. My Tummy Tuck doc i thought was an arrogant ass lol but a perfectionist.! My line from my scar is very low and very thin and healing amazing.

Just had to google what a seroma is. Very sorry to hear that. Sounds like a ruptured blood vessel during surgery but once its drained swelling will go down and your little tummy will be flat. Good luck.

You look fabulous for only 10 days out. Who is your surgeon? Do you have a large scar?

Dr Lund. My body is healing amazingly. Usually takes a year out for scar to start being unnoticeable but at the rate I'm going it will be half that time. And the incision is so low and thin. Awesome.

Not that much. I'm still only two weeks out though.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
