Scheduled my second plastic surgery with Dr Carmina Cardenas

I am beyond excited! This summer I will be returning to the talented and sweet Dr Carmina Cardenas. I returned to her office last week for removal of my stitches and General check up. I brought up my interest in pursuing a breast lift and implant with arm lift procedures. She was very honest and told me I had to wait a certain amount of time before going under the knife again. So I am abiding by her professional recommendation and going through the wait. This summer will be my second of three planned surgeries. My first was a lower body lift. It has been a heck of a recovery but certainly doable. I am feeling better with each day that passes. I have regained a lot of my strength. There’s still a tiny area in my hip and in the crevice of my bottom that needs to close. My belly, fleur de lis incision, and back have all healed really nicely. I am applying merderma daily and am looking into those silicon healing strips to side with scar healing.

I feel so blessed to get to continue my journey with Dr C and her talented team. I felt so well taken care of by everyone when I was down in MX.

I am planning on ending my procedures with a thigh lift, when I get the courage to do it. That procedure scares me the most for some reason, but I need it so bad. I have such bad thigh skin laxity it’s so unsightly and even embarrassing. I have a while for that yet though.

I am concentrating on healing further from my body lift and enjoying Christmas with my family.

Happy holidays to all!
