Well, I met with a surgeon yesterday and I really liked her. I am a bit unusual - I am only 7 months post VSG but am already headed for plastics. Due to my life circumstances this is the chance that I have to do this (financially, also ability to take recovery time). When I met with the surgeon she felt the timing was just fine - I know that most people here believe in waiting. I am not looking for input on the timing as my only two options are to not have the procedures at any point or to have them in the near future.
Back to the more exciting aspects! I am starting on New Year's Eve with a brow lift and lower eyelid lift. I am thrilled to ring in the New Year with a whole new me.
On Feb. 6 I'm going for my tummy tuck and thigh lift. The tummy tuck incision will extend all the way to the hips, almost to the sides. The thigh lift incisions will be along where your underwear would normally hit in your inner thigh - I won't have an incision down the midline of my leg. Due to the sutures the recovery sounds very tough - no sitting for the first 2 weeks except if you have to get in a car or when you have a BM. To pee you even must stay standing - now that will be tricky!!
Finally will be the breast lift and augmentation. I am getting the gummies. I currently wear a 34 DDD - turns out that I'd be left with a "full B". Is there a full B? In any case, I'm going to get a full D.
I'm 5'6" and 153, down from 255. I may lose a bit more before surgery. My plastic surgeon felt that I don't need to lose more to improve the outcome. The hardest part will likely be that I currently exercise 1 or often 2 hours per day, and really enjoy it.
My plastic surgery journey is just beginning!
