Consult with Plastic Surgeon

Very anxious to hear what this surgeon has to say. Her office is nice... kinda like Dr. H (the Radiation Oncologist). Nice hardwood floors, flat screen on the wall, low lights, and the coffee table with a flower arrangement and magazines.

I had already printed all the paperwork at home and filled them out, so I'm ready to go. A staff member shows me to a room. Here I obviously have to follow my now regular hospital routine. hhhuuugghh... take off everything up top and put on the gown. This time I got a cloth gown. :D

While waiting I take advantage of the reading materials left of the counter. Shortly after, the doctor comes in. She is tall; YEA! I know most people are taller than me; pretty, smartly dressed, and pregnant.

She says hello, introduces herself, then inquires about the reason for my visit. The long and short of this section of the story is that I wanted a mastopexy... a breast lift. She did an exam and agreed I was a good candidate for this surgery. I wouldn't require implants, THANK GOD!... she says I got more than enough tissue to work with. During the exam the demonstrates what she has in mind for me. I LOVE IT! :D Everything she described is what I wanted. Right down to possibly going a little smaller. Lets not forget, I'm a bit uneven anyway. She anticipates moving from the full "D" I am currently to a full C or small D.... with CLEAVAGE... :)))) LUVing IT! She calls for her assistant to put on the video regarding this procedure. Needless to say, I was even more excited when the video was done. The only thing that concerned me about the video info was that it mentioned weight loss could diminish the the finish results. NO way. This is a one time deal. Doc told me since I didn't have much fat, mostly tissue, so that wouldn't really affect me. LOL! It's nice when people don't really know that changes you've gone though and complement what you have currently.

The only thing holding up this surgery is the lasting effects of radiation. Standard waiting time after radiation is at least 6 weeks. It's only been 1 for me. Radiation causes restriction of the blood vessels, therefore healing would be poor. Also recommended was the use of Bio Oil to help bring moisture back to my slightly charred skin. Done! I really hope my body is ready when my followup comes around. 5 weeks. :)
