I had a follow up visit with my plastic surgeon and he said that I am healing beautifully. I am really swollen, but he said that is completely normal. He said the stitches looked great, but decided I should keep them for one more week as well as my two drainage tubes. That’s okay with me, he IS the boss! From all of the aggressive lipo, I am bruised like crazy, but again, this is completely normal. Thank you again for all the prayers and positive vibes. This has been an awesome transformation for me, and I feel so blessed to have family and friends who are so supportive of my decision to have these surgeries.
