My Plastics Journey - My first one (of several)



Recommended Posts

Thanks for the update, your waist has always looked tiny to me I can't wait to see the difference after Lipo. Take Care and Good Luck

HELLO WORLD!! Well I had my one month post op check up. My surgeon is very pleased with my outcome so far. He said they have dropped most excellently and they're looking great. My incisions ARE healing great, and the "inverted puckering" incision on my left breast has decreased a great deal, so its flattened over time. Yayy!! So I won't need any kind of incision line touch up. I'm SO GLAD!

He gave me a few new massages to do daily, and told me to keep up with my Vitamin E pills. He said we'll talk about me decreasing them next time I come in and if everything is looking smooth. So far so good!!

However, the best news of the day is... I have GRADUATED TO ALL BRAS NOW!!! YEAHHH BUDDYYY!!! So what do you think the first thing I did was? Oh yep, I ran to Kohl's and bought me 3 new bras. I'm a solid 36DDD. Here's the funny part, I bought 2 minimizer bras. It was the only bra I could find that came in DDD there. It's ok, they will be my work bras, I'm not trying to look burlesque there. They're actually very comfortable and extremely supportive. These girls are heavy!! LOL!!

Though I like the idea of them so if I don't want to minimize them, I got em. They are very hot, I can't lie. I love em. ;) I also bought one sexy bra, but I had to get that a DD. They do puff out of the top a little bit but it's ok... it IS a sexy bra after all!!

So... I know I should post some updated photos but I think I'll wait a little longer. I just don't see they look all that much different except my middle swelling is down and they look rather large in comparison to my small waist. But my waist is going to be even smaller after my lipo's due in November - which will be here FAST! It's already October next week.

I'll take some pics on Friday... it's my day off. Until then... have a great week!!!

Thanks Ladies!!!! I really appreciate your kind comments! Yolanda, I agree - my waist is small, and the reason behind the sculpting in these areas is actually to make my hips / bum look even bigger. I'm really going after that hourglass shape, and more than that I'll be able to fit my pants better. I've always been more of a pear, and my pants always seem to fit fine everywhere but be tight in the thighs.

(Photos Removed - if you are interested in seeing them they are in my "friends only" gallery photo album)

Ok folks... here are the one month post op photos. I don't think they'll change much more. My starting bra size was a 34 B/C - today I'm a 36 F (DDD). Those size bras are hard to find!! LOL

I've also posted a full body shot to have a comparison photo from before and around December I should have an after shot. November 4th I'll get my first Lipo and Nov. 18th I'll get my second. Whoooo!!! smile.gif

You look fabulous lady ! ! ! I admit I showed my husband your boobies last night on Facebook, and he said "Can you get some of those???" Now, remember, he was totally opposed to me having any plastics done, and was convinced that boobies were NOT needed. Well, after seeing yours he's convinced that boobies are necessity! ! !

Grant it, we live in Florida, plastic surgery capital, it seems everyone around here has fake boobs, and he just hasn't been impressed with the way the others look. He is so worried I'll end up with the "half cantaloupe" look with a huge valley in between them look that is so common down here. I swear some of the plastic surgeons down here set them so far apart, you could drive one of those yellow Tonka dump trucks through the women's cleavage, and that is the reason we're waiting to get consults. Well that issue, and of course, the pregnancy.

You look fab chickee and I'm so happy for you ! ! !

Thanks sooo much!!!! :D Xoxo

A lot has to do with the bra too, and really I think if I would've gotten a lift the boobs wouldn't look so natural. I already had the stretched out skin, so I just filled it up enough to the point where I believe they were before I lost all this weight. Anyway, that bra I'm wearing in the pics is an excellent cleavage giver. My other normal bras I bought, I still have a little bit of a valley, but still doesn't look too bad I don't think.

I'm not sure your situation of course, but it's just nice to know that simply because we all lost in the boobs that, it automatically means we have to get our boobs chopped up, lifted and goodness knows whatever else.

I highly encourage everyone to seek out a surgeon who's main purpose in life is to make a woman's boobs look phenomenal! That's what I did, and he is excellent at what he does. Ask a million questions and be sure he sees that vision in your head. They will always let you know if it's possible or not - and IMO its ALWAYS possible.

Watch out where you point those things girlfriend! You could put someones eye out! And I'm sure they would love it if you did!!! Very nice tatas, and pretty bras too. Will you get a corset made to order when all is said and done? That would really cinch the deal. I see some cheesecake in your future (And I don't mean the kind you eat...)biggrin.gif

LOL thanks! These tatas set us back some, but dangit I feel like they were more than worth it. I'd never given the corset any thought but now Im intrigued how that would look! ;)

I didn't get the whole cheesecake comment though... :omg_smile:

Beautiful tatas! You are gorgeous... Maybe someday it will happen for me. Right now my formerly beautiful tatas look like empty socks with oranges in the toes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
