I am heavily drugged as I am writing this. So please excuse any typo's or rambling!!

I had my belt Lipectomy and breast lift with silicone implants. He went with 450high profile implants. I am happy with my results this far but was thinking my breast would be a little larger. I know they don't look like they are going to look for ever b/c of the swelling and bruising. My breasts fill like i have bricks in them... is this normal? They are very very tight feeling.

I have 4 drains 2 in the front and 2 in the back for my belt lipectomy. The drains are probably the most uncomfortable part of the whole ordeal. I have taken before pics and several pics since my surgery. So i will upload pics soon. my drains have been feeling up very quickly probably 5-7oz every 3-4 hours and now today on the 3rd day out the color is turing very light pink instead of deep red like it was the first 2 days

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!

I don't yet. I am still shy in front of the camera. My docs have my befores, I will get a copy when I go in a week though. Once I have them, I will pm you I hope that you feel better soon, the first few weeks err the hardest!

Shenna,

So glad to hear everything went smoothly. You've certainly had a lot of MAJOR work done, be sure to give yourself plenty of rest, keep up with the pain meds  (don't let the pain get a hold on you).
The changes in your drainage is going in the right direction, hopefully in the next 2 or more days it should slow down, but remember everyone's body is different.

Congrats on taking that big step in the journey of becoming the new you.
