After the first few days, I was largely able to get back to my typical routine, albeit with a few physical restrictions imposed by my surgeon (no lifting 10+ lbs, no strenuous exercise, etc). As far as physical activity, my doctor basically suggested that I do what my body would allow. I was feeling pretty good, so probably was a little over-active by day 5, which I definitely paid a price for the next morning. Lesson learned.
Discomfort still largely feels like the day after a strenuous core workout. it is slowly getting better. Still have some sore spots, especially my ribs, and I developed what I think is likely an air bubble between my abdominal muscle wall and skin which sort of moves around on top of my ribs and causes an occasional unexpected pinch here and there. Last night was the first night I've slept with only OTC analgesics, and it was pretty difficult to get comfortable - I'll likely go back to taking the prescription pain meds overnight for a few more days and use OTC during the rest of the time.
The swelling has started to subside, and I've still got some pretty severe bruising in my lower abdomen. The bruising seems to be following gravity downward. Although I've still got a few odd lumps here and there, things seem to be smoothing out, and I'm starting to see some shape. My pants are still quite a bit tighter than they were prior to the procedure, so I'm sure I've got a long way to go before get a picture of what my final results will look like, but so far, so good! First re-check with Dr. Shah is tomorrow, so we'll get the official word then.

Sorry for the longer than expected break between updates. Weeks 2-3 were more challenging than expected, but I'm really starting to see some results that I'm happy with.
On about day 11-12, I started to notice some pronounced swelling on my left flank area that seemed to be filled with fluid, along with a smaller pocket around my belly button. A bit of research suggested that I'd likely developed a seroma, and most of the advice seemed to suggest that it should be handled sooner rather than later. I called Dr. Shah's office on Saturday and was able to be connected directly to his cell phone. He had me email over a few photos, and after reviewing them, emailed me back to set an appointment to check things out on Sunday (Father's Day). I was very impressed at his willingness to handle my issue on a holiday weekend, when he easily could have put me off until Monday.
When I arrived, my suspicions were confirmed. I had about 130cc of fluid in my left flank, and about 35cc in my belly button area (the bruise in my photos is from draining it). Draining was relatively painless - a quick stick for a little local anesthetic, then a larger needle that was used to puncture the seroma and drain it with a large syringe. Relief was pretty immediate. I ended up having to have the two areas drained a total of 3 times over a 1 week period, but the amount of fluid accumulation was far less the second and third time. My theory is that I was probably a little over active early after surgery (I'm left handed, and it was on my left side), and as soon as my swelling started to subside, my first compression garment really wasn't providing much compression for me. Dr. Shah said that he only sees this complication maybe 2-3 times per year, so I guess just hit the jackpot.
Ok, with the negative issues out of the way, the good news - I'm starting to look pretty damn good! I have a lot less saggy skin than I anticipated, love handles are evaporating as swelling goes down, and my stomach is pretty flat. I still have a few sore spots and some bruising, but I'm very excited to see what I'll look like in a few more weeks, when I should have a better idea of the final results. I'm hoping that things smooth out a bit (I've got a few lumpy spots), but otherwise I'm very happy with the results.

I went in for my 1 week checkup today, which is actually 8 days following my procedure. I finally feel like I'm starting to see a notable reduction in swelling. Dr. Shah reported that everything seemed to be progressing well, and was happy with how my abdominal skin seemed to be tightening up and swelling was starting to subside. The sutures in my incisions were removed, and I have another follow-up appointment in 4-weeks, assuming there are no complications in the interim.
Pain and discomfort continue to dissipate, although the sides of my ribs are still too sore for me to sleep in any position other than on my back, which isn't how I typically sleep. I'm managing pain almost exclusively with OTC analgesics at this point, and only taking the prescription meds at night since I tend to wake up with some soreness otherwise.
I'll try and continue posting every week or so until my next follow up unless there are major developments.

Dr. Shah did a breast augmentation and lift for me. He did such an amazing job. He was thorough, intelligent, knowledgeable, and caring. I flew from out of state to have him work on me. Such an exceptional doctor!

I had an amazing experience with Dr.Shah. This was my first surgery and he made me feel very comfortable. I felt like he actually cared, which is extremely rare to find in a surgeon. Not to mention my results were great and natural which is what I wanted. A few of my friends had surgery done by Dr. Shah, I’m so happy I took their recommendation and got my surgery here. If I need another surgery I’ll be back. Highly recommend! Thank you Dr. Shah and staff!

Dr. Shah is fabulous and he will not always tell you what you want to hear or fabricate the truth if your surgery isn’t going to have an 100% ideal outcome. I’m a Breast Cancer patient and from the moment I met Dr. Shah he told me, not to except to have the breast I had prior to my DM. I was devastated! He has put his heart and soul into giving me the best outcome possible! Natasha is the absolute best. She is very comforting, supportive and caring. The entire staff is amazing and caring as well!
Dr. Shah you rock!
