Plastics 5/2 in North Miami



Recommended Posts

Can I ask how tall you are? And if this is not too rude, did you get implants and what size? I am 5'10". I just hit 1 year post-op RNY and goal at 173. I am planning plastics for this fall but concerned the 450cc silicone breast implants Dr recommended are too large. Given your weight, it seemed we might be similar and your figure is AMAZING!

What issues do I need to be aware of if I over do things. Definitely not planning to but always good to know what can happen. I'm having 2 surgery's 3 weeks apart. Still not confirmed which will be first Body Lift or the breast red / lift and the Arm lift.

I have a seroma that requires draining. You can cause more scarring. Pull a stitch. Get an infection. Wear your compression garment all the time unless showering.

I recommend going to walgreens or Walmart and getting a big bottle of hibiclens. It's about $20. Wash your body for a few days before surgery and for weeks afterward. Keeps your risk of infection low.

Supplement your intake with Protein powder. I added unflavored to my broth, Soups and yogurt. Increasing your Protein facilitates healing. I also took arnica Montana for swelling.

Take your pain meds.

That's great advice thank you

I am 6' and I weigh 195. My implants are 750cc each. I had a lot of skin, so the large volume was needed. I did not need a lift, only augmentation. And they are perky. But it's up to you and what your post op breast size goal is. I ended up a full D. Which is proportionate for me. And all the women in my family have larger breasts. So now I blend in with my family better. Lol

Thank you so much!!! It's an amazing journey and I'm realizing that it's a lifetime journey. There is no "before & after" but instead a "before & during". Keep up your hard work.

Thank you for sharing and responding to everyone.

What is your BMI? Do you know if Dr Miami has different BMI requirements for post WLS patients. I know in general his rule is 32 BMI.

He sticks with the general rule but he discusses that with each person. My BMI is about 27.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
