So I got checked today, 7th day post op.
Good news: the breast incisions are fully healed so I no longer have any dressing on my scars.
Bad (ish) news: the funky smell was from the tummy sore I developed under the corset and dressing. I think the dressing rubbed with the corset and as you can see in the picture is bright red sore.
The blood rushing to the area relieved of the corset together with the smell of rotting flesh got me dizzy, almost fainting. I had to be laid down on the bed not to faint. The nurse took a swab from the wound and will send to the lab. The odd thing is- I can’t feel a thing on my skin! It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t sting, even when she cleaned it..or sprayed some antibacterial (iodine I think). It’s all numb still. I guess the nerves will take a while to grow back together.
I put a new corset on (or the nurse and my husband did with a LOT of effort), they gave me a spare one in the hospital. I had to leave the top 3 hooks undone so it doesn’t fold anymore.
I got clean dressing on the old wounds and new, she said the big incision is healed at the ends, only the middle needs more steri strips and dressing.
Overall she was happy with the way I heal. My husband was surprised how well it looks considering it has only been 7 days.
And I smell a bit less now. Lol
Also worth mentioning I haven’t taken any pain killers for 24hrs now. None at all. My biggest moan is the bad back, to which I can take ibuprofen apparently as it’s anti inflammatory.
I must warn you though, the pictures aren’t for the fainted hearted people. It’s not pretty, sorry..
Hope u don’t mind the add! I’m booked in for uplift next Sunday but I’ve always wanted a tummy tuck after having 3 kiddies! Xx
Added ladies:)

Thank you:) my husband expected it to be much worse.
He kept saying compared to all the pics I showed him online my stitching is really neat.

Hope You Don’t Mind The Add Hun xx
Looks Really Good, The Difference At Only 7 Days Is Amazing You Must Be So Pleased! Wishing You All The Best For Your Recovery Thanks For Sharing x
Thank you. Yes it is, the worst is the first week. But Dr Singh did promise I will be walking writhin a week.
And you can tell he is a good surgeon as all that is without using any drains whatsoever, and he was obviously careful enough, I evolved much more bruising. The breasts had no bruising at all! And he took the old implants out and put the new bigger ones Under the muscle. So he’s done a great job.
I will add more pictures as I go along. This Sat I assume as seeing the nurse again, so will see how the sore it’s healing.
Oh the predictive is awful, need to guess what I meant:) sorry..
