I Had Plastic Surgery 10-yrs after Bariatric Surgery

[My Bariatric Life 764]

For those considering plastic surgery after bariatric surgery, I wanted to share the dramatic change that is possible from plastic surgery after weight loss. It has been very powerful for me: life-changing.

I waited a decade after gastric bypass to have my plastic surgery and I am ever so glad that I went through with my long-held dream to do so. I am one-year out from facial plastic surgery with Dr. Catherine Winslow (Winslow Facial Plastic Surgery) and body contouring plastic surgery with Dr. Joseph F. Capella (Capella Plastic Surgery). Here are the procedures I had done, cost, and a few details:

1. April 2013 - Tummy Tuck $7k - general anesthesia, overnight in care center
2. October 2013 - convert TT to LBL, medial thigh lift, extended arm lift, breast lift $18k - general anesthesia, 4 nights in care center
3. December 2014 - deep plan face lift, neck lift, chin implant, upper eye lid lift, SMAS to tear troughs, lip lift, filler $15k - twilight sedation, out patient

I spent $40,000 for surgeon's fees, OR, anesthesia, ambulance, care center. I still can't believe I did this. That is a lot of money and it took a few years to save it up. It was well worth it. I lost 50 inches and 50 pounds and 6 pants sizes thanks to Dr. Joseph Capella and a paleo diet and exercise. I look about 15 years younger thanks to Dr. Catherine Winslow.

The changes were not only physical. They were emotional. Now I am on a journey to do all of the things I could not do before. I am breaking through all my barriers whether physical or emotional, letting nothing hold me back from fully living a life I love. Some people experience this rebirth after their bariatric surgery, but it took the plastic surgery for me to wake up to life.
