Mastopexy,Mini TT with Lipo - NC

Hi everyone, I am a 77 yr old young lady, who has...
WORTH IT$8,000
Hi everyone,
I am a 77 yr old young lady, who has the pep of a 39 yr old, wears in style clothes but realizes they have to be mostly conservative. I am married, have 5 children, 9 grandchildren and almost 6 great grandchildren (6th one due in June, I am an RN and retired 2 years ago and really miss my nursing. I've always kept my appearance up, but since retirement, my wt. is up.
So, I'm not going to the glue factory any time soon, so I've decided to improve where improvement is needed.
My experience thus far has been positive. I have a wonderful PS who in 2006 rescued me from loosing my leg after a motorcycle accident. Hes board certified and I have the utmost
respect for him and his skills.Â
I've had saline implants since 1974, never have had any problems with them and they are still soft and intact. My PS was amazed when he examined me. However, my breasts are sagging and I appear very matronly in whatever I wear. So, I am having explantation and a lift, aiming for the natural look. I am also having the mini TT at the same time, as a revision to an abdominoplasty scar, as I have gained weight and my tummy is not flat anymore...I know you may be thinking "now why would a senior citizen want to spend money on plastic surgery?"
Well, for one thing, its not comfortable to have saggy breasts that don't fit in a bra that is comfortable, and my belly is also uncomfortable especially when I'm doing exercises, so I pray that a nip and tuck will have me feeling comfortable till I meet the good Lord....which probably won't be for another 20 years, my family has longevity to middle 90's....I am healthy without any health issues at all and so I'm going to enjoy keeping myself attractive for my husband......I've had a face lift about 20 years ago, and my skin is glowing, I keep it that way by using the OBAGI skin care. so I'm going to be a real happy camper after I am in shape again...Â
I am seeing my PS for my pre-op appt on Mon. April 29th. My surgery is scheduled for
May 14th at 8 am. I am very excited and will keep you all posted...I guess with the "you all",
you can tell I'm a southern bell......:) God Bless you all and thank you for being interested in
My Story.... I have read and replied on many of your posts and I am truly proud of you gals.

Pre op appt today the 29th. Lab work, EKG, pictures taken, physical, instructions for post op given and paid in full. Will be taking anti-inflammatory supplement Bromelain with Quercetin started 3days before surgery and continued seven more days. Always on empty stomach. Also, dr gave me Arnica sublinquil 3 tablets under tongue nothing by mouth for 15 minutes. Before and 15 minutes after, which is for bruising, swelling and pain. And Vicodin for pain and phenerghan suppositories for nausea and vomiting when and if needed.
I was told having my Mastopexy following my explantation, would require me to wear a support bra, not a compression, no ace bandage .
Tummy Tuck with lipo, will require the compression garment. I most likely will have a drain or two for the TT. That's about all I can share at this time. My
Renewal date is May 14th, 8 am. (Surgery :0)
Please pray a little prayer for me Please?

What an inspiration you are, angelface! I love your outlook. I'm 58 myself and consider myself young for my age. I'm scheduled for explant and lipo on my abs and flank on 5/24. I look forward to reading your updates! FYI, my 70 year old sister (who has always been my idol!) had breast implant exchange and lift, plus TT and lipo last fall. She looks fabulous and her doctor said she healed better than women half her age! I expect the same from you, lol!
April 30, 2013
Hey long tail Texan, wow, that's awesome about your sister my PS said I have enough breast tissue to do the lift and give me a full B cup :) I'll be thrilled. I'll keep my posting up and let you all know whazzup......laugh out loud

Thanks for sharing your story, angelface! My explantation is the day before yours so we'll both be crossing to the lighter side!
April 30, 2013
And we'll compare notes to keep up with each other. I'll be thinking of you on your day and will pray for a comfortable post op with little discomfort. God bless and good luck.

Definitely! We southerners gotta stick together, right? May we both have successful surgeries and smooth recoveries!

Oh my goodness, now u have to tell me what I should and should not do post surgery. :0). I want to hear all about your journey Sweetie, I wish you much comfort and healing following your big day. Take it easy, rest and get good nourishment. Honey don't get constipated on the pain medicine, get some MOMagnesia in the house so you can take when needed, it works without cramping . I'll pray all goes well and you're boobies will be beautiful. Lets keep in touch.. God Bless and hugzz to u. Angelface
May 1, 2013
I'll vote for that.. Ex planting Texan, remember you have all of us for positive encouragement and support. Please stay in touch and remember God loves you and will be on the walk with you through your journey. Lv hug zz angel

Sweet and caring Dancelighter. I am sorry to say that I do not know how to get any of my pics ( which I haven't taken any)
on my phone. All I know to do is text and make calls.:)
My husband is not available or should I say not that into my journey. So i dare not ask him to take pics before.. But that's
not a problem for me, we've been married for 30 years 4/23,
and we are together. I Just wake up and thank God for having another day for the love of all my children (5), grandchildren (9) and great grandchildren (soon to be 6) and 3 pups and a [RS bleep] cat.
Can't wait till the 14th, so thrilling a choice that I've made for myself..any way I've gained lots of people as friends who are very supportive and I thank God for you all. Thanks everyone!!

LOL! I can see you now with the blinders on, angelface! So, did they want you to just keep things as they are? We gotta stand strong and stand together on this, don't we? It's a pretty amazing group of women we have and the way we support each other has been immeasurably helpful to me in my journey to explantation. We're almost there, Angel!

Funny thing, when doctor , my good looking plastic surgeon and the most skilled breast doctor in NC came in to examine me, he did not insult me by asking what size implant do I want.
He said "young lady" if you agree I'd like to do a breast lift and sculpt your breast into a full B, as you appear to have great amount of healthy breast tissue. So, need I say how thrilled I was??? He's the best and makes a lady feel like a lady. He's very respectful towards this lil ole chick. :I)
Thank you for caring. God Bless angel
May 1, 2013
That's great news, angel! A B cup would be lovely and bountiful! I'm really hoping for a healthy A, but any size is fine as long as I'm natural and healthy!
May 1, 2013
What an amazing story angel! I can't believe you've had the same saline implants since '74. I carried my saline balloons for 12 years and honestly it was 12 years too long for me, what relief I felt to have them out. I think it's so great that you are getting a fresh start and even though your implants never gave you problems I bet you will be surprised at how light and free it feels to get the implants out. Best wishes for your surgery and great recovery!

The best part of getting "natural" for me is when I can put a pretty blouse on and button it up. Every thing I wear I feel like I have to layer to hide the bags and I don't have any under my eyes, so you can guess what I'm talking about. I just don't like the matronly look. So, I'll be doing some serious shopping at Kohl's and Steinmart, I love the vintage style.
Thank you were commenting, you are so appreciated in my life along with all the other gals, god Bless. Angelfaxe

Whazzup, angelface?! Hahaha. ;) You are too funny!! Good for you for doing what makes you happy and not giving up on feeling and looking your best just because you're a "senior citizen." Thank you for sharing your story with us. You've been such a sweet support with your kind, encouraging comments. It's nice to know more about you so we can return your kindness. I look forward to following you and supporting you on your journey. ((HUGS))!!!

Thank you's, should go to you gals for all the concern, support and encouragement you give to all of us on the journey. And keeping up with us as we walk the walk. God Bless!!
