My Plastics Journey - My first one (of several)

My Consultation is on Monday and I'm hopeful I will be able to schedule for September 1st. I already know which Dr. I want to use as I've seen his work first hand and it's really really good. He also does reconstructive surgery for weight loss patients. I might want to get many consults at that point, and most likely might choose another Dr. for my Total Body Lift. However, that won't be for a few years from now. I am still considering doing the arm lift but will wait to see how time heals that.

Attached are my pre-op photos. Right now my breasts are a 34C, however I bet if I wanted to fit in a B cup I probably could. My breasts totally flattened out in the last 20 Lbs!! They were doing great for a long time. I do believe I'm going to go for about a DD. As far as the knees, as you can see no explanation is necessary. I'm sure having that extra pillow of fat will feel so much more comfortable for me, during workouts and just the way my clothes fit. I'm very excited about this and I'm ready to go!!! :D

LOL no problem Lila. I know I'm hard to follow along right now... my excitement is preventing me from thinking and writing in any kind of sensible manner. Haaaa!!!

Thanks everyone!!! I still need to take some photos of my waist area so you can get the before and afters on that too. I'm sooo excited about my waist!! I want it to be sooo tiny!!

I'm so excited for your teeny tiny waist, too!! It's funny because when you said that, I was thinking OMG, I totally want to get liposuction on my waist now, too! Because it's usually where I get smallest, and it would be so cool for it to be super tiny! AND.... Since you are already tiny there, and you are getting the girls done, you are gonna be like a pinup model when all is said and done!!!

So, yesterday was the big day. I got there at 11:30 am (and can I say I'm lovin my sleeve because I KNOW I would've been starving to death by then.. LOL) and prep time, plus some Planet Earth DVD's passed the time pretty quickly. My surgery started around 1:15 PM. It went super fast as always!! However, I found out by my Anesthesiologist that I have a heart murrmurr. You know, I've been told that one other time over a decade ago. Funny thing I thought it was a fluke because I'd never been told that before ever and didn't again so I'd forgotten about it. Better to put that on record I guess with my PcP next time I see her.

Anyhow, everything went FANTASTIC!!! I absolutely without a doubt LOVE MY NEW BOOBIES!!! OMG, I can't tell you... I'm so glad I did this!!! My pain has been tolerable. Doc gave me Vicadin and an excellent muscle relaxer that are working wonderful together. Right now I'm just resting and my Post Opt Appt is this upcoming Thursday at 9 am.

I gained 7 Lbs from my surgery... crazy stuff. Got me back up to 186.4... but you know what's so funny is the Docs office weighed me in at 175 before all the IV's and surgery. LOL!! I think each implant weighs about 2 lbs each.. so now I'm hopeful that my Lipo's will take off that AND SOME!!!

Next stop will my my Lipo's!!!! Bye-bye fat thighs!!! Hello itty bitty waist!!!

(Photos Removed - if you are interested in seeing them they are in my "friends only" gallery photo album)

Nice boobies! I want a pair! Your waist looks so much slimmer now with all those boobs. Did you just get implants or implants with lift? I'm looking at lift/implants. Which Surgeon did you end up seeing? Sorry for all the questions! I'm very excited for you to be completing the last phase of your weight loss and total body transformation!!

OMG ... how cool are you!! Congrats on getting the girls sorted out *goes green with envy*... looking mighty fine ladyeee! Now, looking forward to seeing the rest of the new you!

You have mae me realise how much I would LOVE to get mine done... and the old TT.... gonna have to start saving!! x

Hey there, thanks!! I luuuuv em!!! Heehee :) I can't wait to see how much slimmer my waist will look after the lipo too. I'll be all finis after all that!

I just got implants, 550cc each, silicone. He placed them on top of the muscle. He said a lift was not necessary, just needed to plump them back up, and that's exactly what he did!! LOL :) I went to Dr. Shahriar Boubarakh, FACS in Folsom, CA. He's one of the best in Sacramento area and I know someone personally who used his services too. Total slam dunk!

He did tell me my right side is slightly larger than my left and thought about doing a 570cc on my left breast, but decided against it. To be honest I never even noticed they were lopsided, so no biggie to me. I think them being a little asymmetrical is quite natural anyway, as long as its not a whole big noticeable difference.

OMG ... how cool are you!! Congrats on getting the girls sorted out *goes green with envy*... looking mighty fine ladyeee! Now, looking forward to seeing the rest of the new you!

Awww coops, thanks so much!! I'm so happy... VERY HAPPY!!!

Looks Wonderful!! I am sooo jealous. You are beautiful! I sooo want mine done when the weight is gone.

Khy

CONGRATS GIRLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You look awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IRENE...and I am not talking about that damn hurricane! YOU my friend look amazing! I am now convinced that I need some "work" mostly tummy tuck and implants. My legs have always been pretty long - and they are holding their own on this journey ( I wore a short skirt last week and several friends even said they looked great - thank you Lord!).

But my tummy and boobs most definately look like someone came along and deflated them! Flat lifeless boobs and wrinkly smooshie tummy -Yuck. Although I will say its much better than all those lbs I lost! Thank you for sharing your journey with us girl - you make it so much easier for all of us to know what to expect. I am going to be going to a couple of consultations in Sept and Oct. I want to lose these last 9 pounds and be at goal - before I proceed. Not sure if I can afford to do all at once or one at a time. But I do know this... I am going to do this - a reward to myself!
