Well hard to believe it's been 7 weeks.  I feel mostly human again, still a little numb and legs like to swell as the day goes on.  Still can't get into my fancy jeans from before surgery, as I'm scared I'll bust out of them from swelling as the day goes on.

Small seroma in left hip..no biggie.

Overall happy.  Arms will get done later this year, I'm scared to get thighs done so will live with them.

Asked for a "c"cup but these puppies require a 'D" but maybe still swollen, but looks good I think.

You look great! I'm having BL/BA next month...can't wait! I wish I could afford to do the tummy now too, but can't swing the payments due to some other issues that came up recently.

Did your doctor do a lollipop incisions or do you have incisions under the breasts too?  Mine is shooting for lollipop.  I think he said it's supposed to heal faster.

Thank you. I have a lollipop scar, but had so much lose skin that I have small dog ear things under my breast. Doc says its because of the lollipop. If he did it the other way the scar would be ugly but no risk of dog ears. They don't bother me as my bra pushes them in, and he says they will stretch out and become smaller as everything settles.

I'll have to remember to ask my doctor if he thinks i'll end up with dog ears.  I'm glad they don't bother you.  I'm only having the BL/BA done, so I'm hoping for a short recovery.  I hope mine come out as good as yours did!
