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

Looking good Irene!!!! :) I know its still early for me to be thinking plastics, however I'm going to be discussing with my PCP how my boobs hurt because they are a drooping and pulling. Getting documentation will be helpful when submitting to insurance. My insurance will cover if submitted as reconstructive. You really look amazing!!!! Congrats on getting it done!!!!!

Deb

Diva, you look great!!!!!!! I know you are just sooo happy! Your doc did a great job, when are you getting your lipo?

Thanks everyone! It sure is worth all the pain... LOL :)

I will be complete after that. I couldn't care less if I lost anymore weight or whatever to be honest. If I do, I do... If I don't then I don't. I think I look great just the way I am and I am healthier than I've ever been. I'm also HAPPIER than I've ever been too!! I am still going to work on getting the body fat down, but that doesn't mean I'll actually lose weight either.

Candace, I'm having my inner thighs and knees done on Sept. 24th...

Then I'm having my saddle bags and waist done on Oct. 14th.

Whoohoooo can't wait!!!

Congrats Diva! The girls look great on you!

Thank you cutie pie! :)

The surgery time was less than one hour, but total time including prep and discharge was around 5 hours. I feel really good and every day of course gets better. I do need to take some muscle relaxers because my chest will start to spasm and hurt. Totally normal though, and a part of going through the process of healing.

It's a very easy surgery in comparison to all the others I've gone through. I was a 34B+ before surgery and now I'm a DD. I'm wearing 38's but because of the swelling! It will go back down again once I'm fully healed. Wow.. a 34DD sounds cute. Can't wait! I'm not "allowed" to go to Victoria's Secret yet though, per my nurse. Gotta wait 6 weeks... LOL

I'm very excited for you! :)

Wow, just now seeing this -- you look so GREAT!! I am envious of that rack, sister!! :lol: Dayum...

I can't wait to get to goal so I can start this journey too :)

Hello everyone! Thanks so much for all your support. I know many probably think I did too much or whatever but I really don't even care. I say, it's my body!!! I'm just back to the size I was as a 330 Lbs girl... except now they are on a Size Small girl. Heehee smile.gif (The gray top I'm wearing here is a Size Small) I love em and can't say how happy I am on the outcome. Especially since I didn't do any kind of lift or reconstruction!!! These are all simple implants.

Everyone here has been positive and supportive, so THANK YOU!!! I just feel like everyone should only do what makes them happy.

Here are a few photos of me at 5th day out. They are softening up a lot and the swelling reduces a little more every day. Looking forward to the rest of my procedures!!! Whooott!!

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

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love 'em ! ! ! I'm so happy your pleased with them, and I can't wait to get mine. I'm hoping I can get just the implants without any reconstruction/lifting scars ! ! !
