Well, it is day 6 and I have to admit to some pain. I stopped taking the Tylenol last night, and the pain has been tolerable. Sometimes I have shooting pain in my breasts, but it doesn't last long at all. What REALLY hurts, especially if I have been sitting or lying down for a while....my waist and lower stomach. I think I said I had liposuction of the flanks, upper and lower stomach, waist...well when I wear the binder now, it hurts where my body is smaller (believe it or not) because that is where the binder folds! To combat that, I started putting the now never used Kotex at my waist and from my belly button down. It helps.
I have minimal bruising, only a little at the incision sites below, and hardly any on my breasts. I don't know how other people measure the lift, but visually, it looks fantastic!!!
I think I told you I had a problem wearing pants, because of the binders and the little bit of swelling left. Today I did a bad thing...I put on a full body girdle that I already had...and it was too tight when I bought it, so it was definitely working as a binder. But, and this was great...my pants are TOO BIG!!! Not that I am complaining, but I would suggest that if you are having lipo or SBR, keep your bigger clothes for a while, it makes life easier. When I got home, I took off the girdle and went back to the binders...OUCH!! They hurt. When I wear them, I find it hard to get up, lay down, etc. During the day, the only pain I have is in my tummy. I feel like I need to hold it up, LOL. My breasts are yellow...with just a little black/blue and ALL of the incisions are totally healing. I don't put anything on them, like gauze or bandaids, and they are scabbing (excuse spelling) over nicely. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.
I have a question: how in the world am I going to wear these binders for another week????
