Yes , the breast feel very tight due to the swelling. I am 4 weeks out and still have moments that mine feel that way. The drainage color change sounds like it is moving in the right direction. Better that fluid comes out than stay in. I was so happy the day the drains left! Good luck to you!

Topic: RE: 5 weeks post op TT/BL/Aug, Arm Lift and Lipo
Hi there! I am four weeks PO as of yesterday. I had a lower body lift, bl with aug and an arm lift( with a bit of lipo). I am finally starting to feel a bit more normal. I have had no openings( knock on wood) and just a scab on the bottom of my breast scar. I hate the numb feeling of my arms, it drives me batty! I am so glad that you re feeling well, it is awesome! I find that the swelling is the worst for me. I start out flat and thin by the end of the night I look pregnant...lol.

Topic: RE: Anyone have Plastics before hitting Goal?
The difference between my skin at a year out and at two years out was incredible. I too didn't want to wait but in the end I did and boy am I happy that I did so! I regained a bunch of elasticity and it gave me a much better result. IMO, you should def. Wait till you are closer to goal. Your body has been through so much this year, that it really hasn't had a chance to recover. Good luck in whatever you decide and congrats on your loss!

Topic: RE: Thoughts and experiences with Liposuction?
It hurts? I just had a lbl, bl/ba and an arm lift with lipo and the lipo hurt the most. It still is tender three weeks out and the bruising is still there. Others may have a better experience though.

Topic: RE: IMPLANTS BIGGER THAN WHAT I ASKED FOR!
I would tell him about it. You requested a certain size and he should not have changed that. I would wait a few months though to see what they are really like after the swelling goes down. They may be much closer to a b later. Sorry you are unhappy now though.

Topic: RE: Just How Painful is a Tummy Tuck?
I had a lbl two weeks ago and I have very little pain. I am very tired still though so take that in to account when planning for work and such.

I had a lbl, bl with ba and an al all at one time. I am two and a half weeks out and am recovering well. I am tired so I move around and rest often. Other than that, things have gone smoothly. I feel like the second week was the hardest because I was up more moving and I had more swelling. Things are settling down now and I think if I had to go to a desk job, I would still need wt least another week before I could even think of it.

I just had mine and stayed one night. I had a three hour drive home and it went just fine. I could have stayed another night but did not want to.

Topic: RE: What did you guys eat after PS??
I had it a little over a week ago. I have had an okay recovery(darn drains are a bugger to me). Got those out today and feel heaps better! My body always rejects the drains though but recovery has been flying by!

I have the ds but I am at home recovering as we speak. I ate chicken noodle soup, yogurt both reg and Greek, Italian water ice ( my throat hurt after the breathing tube, I always have this problem) and a bunch of protein shakes. I am eating eating eggs as we speak.

Topic: RE: One week out from my TT /MR. Breastlift/Aug/ Brachioplasty and Lipo
Glad to hear you are doing so well. I had a lbl, brachia,breast lift and aug. Pain hasn't been terrible but the fatigue and drains are the worst! I hate to sleep in my recliner and can't wait until I can go back to my bed. Today is the first morning that I have woken upend felt some semblance of my former self. There would be no way I could work though as I have zero concentration.I had my surgery on 8/9/2012.
