12 days post op tummy tuck and mastoplexy
Here is one from this morning. More swelling down low near my incisions.
I shower and clean the them twice a day. So tedious.

Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. ~Proverbs 19:20
For me the secret was to stay in a recliner and have my husband bring me food and water. The most I rested the quicker the swelling was gone.
One shopping trip set me back at least one and probably two weeks on having drains removed. When I finally stopped trying to move around and exercise, the pain went away, the drains stopped draining and the swelling went away.

My husband had been so awesome. I can't even say how great this man is. I'm still using a shower chair, and then I call him and he'll come move it to the bedroom in front of the mirror so I can clean and dress my incisions.

Thank you, I feel wonderful. I was nervous going in, and the first few weeks have not been easy, but then i look in the mirror, and I'm happy.

Seriously, I had the same thought. If my boobs look this good after just a lift, I will be a super happy camper!
