I withdraw this good review.
Dr Lacerna mutilated me. Find one of the other very qualified surgeons in Sarasota. She did a short scar bracioplasty and my scars are horrendous. There is no way to improve it after going to several surgeons for a consultation.
Worst 4 days of my life!!!!!
OMGG. Ok so day of surgery I was all hopped up on anesthesia and drugs everything seemed fine. A little uncomfortable trying to lay on my stomach and not use my arms but I managed. By day three I was asking myself and my partner why in the heck wold I have ever done this to myself.Day 4 I am off the meds, besides the antibiotics, and feeling pretty darn good. I am wearing three different types of garments. Post op appointment is Tuesday so I will keep ya posted. BTW Dr Lacerna and her completely female surgery team were the best.
Tomorrow is the big day
Ok so it had been 11 days since I have gone to my consultation and my procedure is tomorrow. Dr Lacrena asked if I was willing to gain 5 lbs for the procedure, which of course I was. I mean who doesn't want to eat whatever they want for a few days? Unfortunately I think that I went a little overboard and am up 12 lbs in 11 days. Hopefully I have gained some viable fat! The more she harvests the better for my bootie. I am concerned about losing the weight after the procedure but I am sure it will be fine. So I am posting pictures of my before body. The picture with the dark panties was 2 weeks ago before the weight gain and the light panties are from today, right after I got back from a three day cruise. Both sets of pictures are terrible, but hey, only one day left with this body!! YAY!!! Also today I went shopping for essentials I hope I got everything: tanktops to wear under my vendette, itch cream and gel, feminine/body wipes, metamucil, fuzzy socks. Since I have large breasts I am trying to rig something to prop me up bc laying on large boobies is not in the least bit comfortable, Unfortunately, I wont be lying on my sides due to fat transfer to my hips and my brachioplasty. It is funny I am not even thinking about the pain. I am sure tomorrow will be a different story, I will def keep this updated!

The consultation went well, both she and her office manager were extremely kind and helpful. Of course I thought of a million questions to ask after the consultation. My preop is Wednesday. Cannot wait!
