Wow. I wasn't told not to bend. I live alone, so sometimes I have to bend. I have a cat that needs care. I woke this morning to an open incision! Sooo gross. They told me last Friday 3 out of 4 patients have this issue as the skin in the area of the surgery is already fragile. I am 3 weeks out. Still have both drains ?. I hope the right one comes out Tuesday. It finally stopped draining. I know it's going to hurt, but it will feel so good to have at least one out. The left one is going to be at least another week. I had massive blood loss during surgery, and hemoglobin went down to 7.4. It was only 8.3 last time they checked. Normal is 12-17. I am drinking a protein drink everyday and eating what protein I have. Still run 100 degree temp. This was way harder than they ever told me . I hope it will be worth it?

I thought my butt had to drop too because it looked as u describe it but I found that it was actually swelling and once the swelling went away it was better. I have a slightly hollow spot mid Butt cheek and PS said exercise should fill it in

I had one spot that took a long time too! I think I was 10 weeks or so. It was frustrating, I agree!

Talked to the doctor. He said to treat the new opening with the Dakin's solution and gauze like my other wounds. He asked how my cough was and I said much better, though not gone yet. He said if the z-pack is working it's likely I had a touch of pneumonia from being on the ventilator for so long and then sedentary and at and angle for a long time. Of course I'd get pneumonia too. Before this I would have said I was a magical healer and never get side effects. This has been very humbling.

for those who had the auto augment butt lift with your lbl. How long did it take for the butt to drop? I'm 10 weeks post op and still look like I have 2 butts, one on my hips and the bottom of my cheeks with a hollow in between.
