Completed 2nd plastic surgery....body contouring
Mar 08, 2012
I had my second plastic surgery since my weight loss on Feb. 21st. I had three things done......breast lift, thighplasty, and "complete the cut" around my backside from my tummy tuck. They removed 4 1/2 pounds from my backside, 1/2 pound from each inner thigh, and one pound from my breasts! The recovery was horrible, but I am far enough along now to say it was all worth it. I feel so much better. I know from my last surgery that it honestly takes about 6 months for your body to unswell and settle, but I look better already and it only can improve with unswelling! I no longer have my dog ears on my hips from my front side tummy tuck. My breasts went from DD to a D cup and they are up where they belong! I love the changes that have been made.One thing I did differently to prepare for this surgery is the day before my surgery, I had all of my restriction taken out of my lap band. I chose to do this after consulting with my doctor because I wanted to make sure I was able to get all of my required medication down after surgery. I didn't do this for my first plastic surgery, and I remember having a hard time with this. I am scheduled to get my band refilled next Tuesday.
It has been interesting to monitor my own behaviors without my restriction in the band. I have gained 10 pounds, but honestly hard to sort out what is what right after a surgery. I am enjoying this window of eating freedom, but I have to also admit that I have abused it. I look forward to getting back on track next week.
Doing well and loving life!
