Hi all!!!:w00t:
OK, after visiting many plastic surgeons and thinking long and hard about my decision i have come to the final decision.
Dr. Leonard Lu, M.D., F.A.C.S (New Horizons Center for Cosmetic Surgery. Skokie, IL)
I'm having plastic surgery this year...:thumbup: Actually, my first surgery is scheduled for March 12th and the next one is sometime in June.. My Surgeon it was too much to do in one operation.
Surgery # 1: March 12, 2009 Agenda (6 hours)
Belt Lipectomy/Lower body lift:
This includes:
**Lipo of back/stomach/legs/and mons for contouring.
**Also in this procedure i will have a mons lift (that area should not be so sad and droopy lol:redface:)
**And a brazillian butt lift (where he will take some of what he lipos out and injects it into my bottom to make it fuller and more round)
Surgery # 2: June 2009 (4 hours)
*Brachioplasty (extended down to bra line to get rid of the "side boobs"!!!
*Inner Thighplasty ( inner front butt)
*Lipo of upper back near bra line
I am beyond excited about this process.. I know that maybe it would be better to wait a little longer but i think after all the opinions ive had now is a good time. All the surgeon say that even if i plan on losing another 15lbs after surgery that my results wouldnt be altered because they pull everything so tight!!
My weight has been at a basic stand still since october and well quite frankly i am comfortable at my size right now.. The only problem i have is that i cant stand the extra materials hanging down, they need to get altered and quick.. Hey i got rid of my baggy clothes why wouldn't i do this..
My Pre-Op stuff is already done and ive put down my down payment and surgery #1 is scheduled... No turning back now.
I'll keep you Posted!!
P.S. Oh and i believe that this may be the thing i need to do to finally feel like a normal person.. Needless to say my brain is still having a hard time catching up with the weight-loss.. Just a great way to end this chapter in my life
