ok i know that this is a little soon, but im sooooooo swollen! i had thigh lipo, inner knee and bum yesterday. they started me on celebrex 2 days before because they said it was an anti inflamitory and pain reliever. i also had a breast lift with a small amount of tissue removed from one. I am sooo swollen today, it looks like i've gained about 30 pounds. my belly is awful, i can't even get my rings on my fingers. i go tommorow for my dressings to removed on my breasts. is it normal to be this swelled. they told me to stop taking the celebrex, when i told them how swollen i was. i also dont have any drains... i feel sooo gross.

I'm Surprised You Don't Have Any Drains For The Breast Lift. Are You Wearing A Garment To Hold You In At All? I Know That Helps With The Swelling Alot.

ok well that day i weighed myself and it was 118. i was 104 before surgery! i am back down to my 104 9 days later. i still have pretty much swelling. i was wearing a garment but it became too big so now im wearing a body shaper (thats what they told me to do) i was shocked that there was no drains for the breasts either. needless to say i am feeling much better, and i still have a little ways to go.

So Are You Happy With The Surgery? Was It Very Painful? How Long Do You Have To Be Off Work?

i am happy with the results so far. i feel i am healing very well, and am back into my exercise routine, and taking care of my little one. i do get a little swollen sometimes, and sore. i can defiantly see a difference in my behind, my inner thighes are still swolen but i can see a differnece in the shape. i looooove my new boobies!!!! i have never had such perfect little twins. all of my life i was very large, im talking dd cups on my 4'10 frame. when i was pregnant and then nursing i was a e cup. then after my 70 pound baby weight loss was left with a b size breast and c size breast that lost alot of their volume. with the lift im in a 34 or 32 b which is perfect for my frame. i still have bandages on them over the dissolvable stitches. i will tell you this i feel more sexier with bandage boobies than i did with what i had before!!!
