Jfran goes for Plastics

[jfran 0]

Hey everyone:

I haven't posted on here in forever, but I thought some of you may be interested in my plastic surgery journey.

I am basically having a total body lift, but instead of doing it in one surgery, I am doing in 2 stages.

Dec. 3rd I had a lower body lift (tummy tuck, thigh lift, buttock lift) which means I have a scar that goes all the way around me. I also had brachioplasty (arm lift) with Lipo.< /p>

Stage 2 will happen in mid May: Breast lift/augmentation, bra-line back lift (gets rid of the fat along the sides of your breasts under your arms and lifts the back), stomach lipo, lipo of inner/outer thighs and medial thigh lift.

Believe it or not, the first round of surgery wasn't bad. I had some moderate discomfort, mainly from the swelling, but I never had any severe pain. Pain meds kept everything in check.

My doc says I am a textbook case and that I am healing very well.

The doctor removed 11.5lbs of skin and fat (2.5lbs of which was from my arms).

I am doing well, back at work and school. I can't wait for Stage 2. I feel like a new woman.

The pictures: Left to right- my transformation before Lapband, mid ways through losing weight, the night before PS, 3 weeks post op PS.

Later when my swelling goes down, I will post some bikini type pictures.

Good luck to anyone ready for plastics.
