Pics from Dr. Sauceda surgery
Yes, I was actually dying to see myself after surgery- it takes days! In the clinic the nurses took my compression garment off bandaged me and put it back, so although I was able to take pictures from the second day, I couldn't take the compression garment off.
In the picture of me on day 5 I beleive, I do have to drains in my mons area. I had those two, plus one in each arm. The arm ones didn't really ever put out much, and they were taken out on day 4. The other two were a pain!! Literally, and because they get in the way of everything. I got one taken out on day 10, and the other on day 12. Ever since then though my mons area feels like a jello mold- there's definately fluid in there, but its not in a "pocket" like a seroma, so I'm not worried. I'm sure it will reabsorb...someday!
