7 days post-op

[Jamessidis]

Hi everyone,

I had my surgery seven days ago, which mean I had it on November, 7th. I had an incision and a lipposuccion and everything went well. I wasn't suffering that much when I awoke. Three days after my surgery, I went to see the surgeon and he told me that it was swollen it was normal. But up to now, four days had past and nothing changed. Despite the fact that I took one of the best surgeons in Québec, the result isn't that good; my right side is awful. I'm getting a little worried because my right side is two time bigger than it was before and my left side, the «best» one is a very little less bigger than my pre-op. (NB, on the pictures has been taken in front of a mirror so my left/right side is inversed.)

What do you think about it... Can I hope that'll change for the best?

i'm no doctor, but it looks like a big fluid buildup.

[Jamessidis]

fluid build up? oh it isn't looking good, I don't know if you are right since you are not a doctor, but I wrote to my doctor today and I'm planning to have a rendez-vous in three weeks...  :-/

Just wondering if that kind of bruising was typical, or was there some circumstance that caused you to bruise so?  I hope that once all the healing is done, everything works out for you, brother.

I agree it looks like fluid which can usually be removed by the PS with a needle.  Not much pain involved, but much relief afterward.  Try to get an appointment in the next day or so.  Three weeks is a long time.  Hope you can get it resolved quickly.

Hi 808gyno and Mr_Nip, thanks for you message!

Mr_Nip, can you explain what's a PS?... my doctor didn't speak a lot to me, well he told me nothing so I didn't even know what was the fluid that I had before than I visited the webiste.

Merci beaucoup!  

[Mr_Nip]

Sorry, "PS" stands for "Plastic Surgeon".  

[Jamessidis]

Thanks Nip, it was an evidence!

(Sorry English isn't my mother tongue) !

James....

Do you have any 'Before' pics dude?

Hi Bambu,
I haven't taken picture of my chest before but my PS took some, he will shot them to me in three weeks...

I'm geeting in despair... 20 days had past and nothing really improve.. my right side is swollen, the fluid is gone away tough.

I went to see my PS 13 days after my operation, he kept on telling me that everything was normal, it was juste very swollen but in three to six months my chest would be almost perfect. I continue to wear the helmet but I don't think it makes a big difference. I will send you other pics on Tuesday, three weeks post-op...

This is my 3 weeks post-op...  ... No progression, my right breast is very big and it is very solid when we touch it

I'm so unlucky... the surgery of every members worked so well, and I am the only one who got a bad surgery... It costs me $5400 and I think I'll need to have another one...

[Mr_Nip]

What does your PS say about it now? 

[Grandpa Bambu]

Oooppsss.... Image Shack is saying that your first pic is 'Porn'...  Are you showing your wanker in that one Sire?  LOL      just kidding Dude....   

Webshots did that to me also. They removed all my gyne pics as they deemed them 'Pornographic' in nature and that they didn't want the children on the Site to view my hideous chest.   

John.

Too bad, they might think it's woman's breast .. ! 

I'm going to see my surgeon on Monday, the last time I saw him he told me that it was normal and in 3 to 6 months, everything will be allright. But it kinda embarassed me because my right side is worse than it was and my left side is EXACTLY the same! I may have another operation, which I don't hope, but who do you suggest me? I live in Montréal, I'm only 17, so I can't travel, I can't have my surgery in United States and I don't know if I can go in the Toronto area... but do you know if some members had their surgery in Montréal-Québec City-Burlington area?
