4-week update and pic

Hi there, I am now 4 weeks post-op. It's definitely still a process of healing, but every day is a little better. Since all my wounds are now closed, I was given the go ahead to take baths again. (Oh, how I missed those baths... To be on the safe side though, I rinse the wound sites with fresh tap water before exiting the tub.) I was also given clearance for some light cardio exercise. I haven't tried that yet, but will have a go at it in the next day or so. One step at a time, but so far so good!

2 weeks post-op; before and after pics

Hello - well, I am exactly 2 weeks post-op today. Am feeling a little shy about posting the boobie shots, so here are the G-rated pics. (Perhaps I'll feel a little braver later on down the road.) Nonetheless, this gives an idea. I am sooooo pleased with the results so far and I am still quite swollen, so should continue to improve over time.

I have been unhappy with my breast size since I...

I have been unhappy with my breast size since I was in my twenties (I am 5'2" tall with a curvy/muscular build, size 6/8 and 138 pounds.) In recent years I have suffered signifcant back and neck pain and at the time of my decision to move forward with surgery, I was a cup size 34G. I have also been dealing with saggy uneven skin on my abdomen (it runs in the family, so as much time as I spent at the gym, that saggy skin wasn't going anywhere...) so had also been considering a tummy tuck. I finally made the decision to move forward with these changes and consulted with 4 board-certified cosmetic surgeons in my home town of Scottsdale in order to educate myself on the various options available and get the opinions of what would make the most sense for my body. My choice of surgeon was an easy decision (Dr. Geoffrey Leber).

Surgery day was 8/26/2014. Going into the procedure, I was really scared, but everyone at the surgical center was so nice. The recovery, while not fun, is not as bad as I thought it would be. I did need some help around the house for a week or so, but am already back to work after a week (granted I get to work from home, so am sitting at my desk in my compression gear and not having to deal with fancy clothes and makeup.) I have been told by others that it is good to have a couple of weeks off before returning to work if possible.

For those considering a tummy tuck, I highly recommend the Exparel injection to make the recovery more tolerable.

I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Leber. Prior to surgery, I wanted to get a few opinions and be as educated as possible for the journey I was about to undertake so I consulted with a total of 4 surgeons. While the other surgeons were wonderful and caring, I knew without a moment's hesitation that Dr. Leber was the best surgeon for me. He spent an endless amount of time with me answering my questions, soothing my fears and describing his specialized techniques for obtaining the most optimal (and unbelievable) results for the procedures I had chosen. (He even humored me with my agonizing debate over what my new breast cup size should be - we probably talked about it like 10 times, and he was always patient and attentive and by the time my surgery day arrived, I was confident that we were on the same page. He has this amazing technique where he uses your own breast tissue to create fullness at the top of the breast - almost like an implant. I have never seen anything like it before, and the examples of his previous patients that he showed me during my consultation(s) were incredible). Prior to surgery day, we decided on breast reduction and lift, tummy tuck, and a little bit of liposuction (in order to achieve the optimal contour.) The man is a true artist, and I completely trusted his judgement on what would provide the nicest looking results. (For those of you who are interested, I opted for full C-ish cup size, but gave Dr. Leber the leeway to put me at a size that would be proportionate and complementary to my body shape and size while also helping to improve my neck and back pain. And, as mentioned above, he is an artiste.) Aside from my nerves, the day of surgery was a breeze. Surgery was performed at a surgical center right next door to Dr. Leber's office and I spent one night in their recovery center. The staff was phenomenal and I was treated like a queen. I am less than two weeks post-op, but I am feel pretty darned good, all things considered. I took a moment to look at my new shape in the mirror before hopping in the shower a couple days ago, and it took my breath away. I am still quite swollen, but I can see that Dr. Leber did a beautiful job and the results are just going to get better and better as time goes by and as I heal. I will try to post some before and after pics once the swelling has gone down a little more. Dr. Leber and his staff are so kind and caring; his bedside manner is amazing. I cannot recommend him highly enough and cannot wait to see as my beautiful new shape unfolds over the coming weeks and months. Thank you, Dr. Leber!!!
