Plastics Scheduled! - ThinnerTimes

Mavisavis · 09-07-2006, 04:43 PM

I know ya'll are gonna get tired of hearing from me, but all my stuff came together at once. I had my consult today for the plastic surgeon. Today is exactly my one year anniversary. At the beginning of the appt I was bummed because he told me since I have continued to consistently lose he would make me wait to stabilize. I said ok, but was disappointed. THEN, when he saw that my boobs are non-existent and technically you see breastbone....then skin hanging......and then he felt my chin to show me what that would look like......he said, "Ok, I'll do it!" He said there was no fat left there for me to lose!

He said he doubted I could lose more than 5-10 more and if it affected the TT he could tweak it a bit later fairly easily. So, my surgery is Oct 11th. I am getting TT....which will go around to get the love handles, but not to the back. He said that will lift my butt slightly. Then he is doing breast lift and implants....hello cleavage.

Then he is lifting the chin, which he said will do very well because I do have a distinguished chin and jawline. The total is $17,025 for everything. He told me to continue working on the arms and upper thighs at the gym, but that if they don't firm a little more he can do a quick and not too involved tuck on both since they are not too bad. I am jazzed.....I can also do it outpatient...which I love. To top off the whole experience, they kept calling me small words......like, "I'll have no trouble getting the surgeries done in that time frame because you're so tiny", or there's the gown, but it'll be huge on you because you're so little. I swear I wanted to look around to see who in the world they meant. So very weird.....but a good feeling weird.....a much better feeling than your flat boobs in the doctor's hands or your wrinkly belly hanging all out!

Marty,

Congrats on your plastics date. I was gonna share my story here, but decided not to.

I am sure you are on Cloud 9 and can't wait for the date.

I'll share every gory detail you wish you never heard! Did you want to start by hearing all about standing there all wrinkly and darn near naked with the doc lifting and measuring your boobs and talking about the puff on your "lower pannus" or whatever he kindly called it?

Or how about his lifting a floppy boob, then saying, yep.....they're hanging pretty low....just brestbone left on top (maybe not a direct quote, but I was too busy trying to pretend I was someone else)! lol

I am very excited....and do think I will love it. I think I am realistic about my results. I told him I did not expect to look 20, but was currently about 80.......40 sounds good.

I'm using the excitement to try to not think about the pain......oh Lord, not looking forward to that part.
