Hi there! How are you doing? Would you mind posting new pictures of your amazing results? It would be so nice to see the transformation, as best results can take up to a year of healing. Your results were already SO amazing, so this information would be helpful for sure for all of us!

Just took some clearer head shots. I will post other pics once breast infection is totally gone. Please ignore the dark circles under my eyes as I was up until about 3 a.m. watching the Olympics!

I'm ecstatic with my results!!! I'm SO GLAD I saw the numerous posts from fellow RSers and decided to have Dr. Arguello perform my surgeries! HE IS THE BEST. All of the RS reviews about his work WERE NOT EXAGGERATIONS! :)

I'm really happy for you, have been following along, it's always great to see another woman seeing good/great results. I'm not there yet, to be able to go, but you look happy, and comfortable in your own skin. Congratulations on the transformation. BTW, did you get a TT also, remember you posting about that.

Oh my gosh! Again I see such beautiful natural looking results. You look amazing! The side profile shots are breath taking too! Congratulations Hun. Please keep us posted, and get lots of rest. Hope the breast infection is getting better...? Hugs!

Thank you. I think the side shots look good as well. Dr. Arguello did an amazing job of getting rid of my jowls and excess skin. I also had a platy done as I had neck banding. The infection in my right breast has gotten significantly better and I think is almost totally gone if not totally gone already! Dr. A sent me home with a second round of antibiotics and a powder to mix with water and apply to the breast. The solution is absorbed through the skin. Dr. Arguello really takes excellent care of his patients!!!
August 21, 2016
That's great news! Yes, I Have to have the " Platy" done as well. I have a long neck, with a lot of bands in it, so I need that along with the neck lift, which I assume you had done too? Dr. Arguello is famous for his neck results too I hear! Did you have breast lift without implants? Have a great day and get lots of fluids and rest! I Hope you didn't start smoking again! I am on day 36 on the patch. Yay!
August 20, 2016
Do you know what caused the breast infection? Did any of your incisions open up? Did you have any problems with the TT? You look beautiful and really happy. I wish your family could be as excited for you as you are!

I DO NOT know what the exact cause of my breast infection was. However, Dr. Arguello did tell me how important it was to wear each bra for only ONE DAY. Luckily, I had bought and brought two other surgical bras with me, so I immediately started to follow his instructions. However, by that time, I already had the infection :( Some more of my stitches did open up on the vertical line on my right breast but that happened after the infection had started. I did not have any problems with my TT. I had a mini tuck. I was told I would not be able to walk upright for a while, but I was able (and wanted) to stand upright the morning after my surgery! However, you need to keep in mind that everyone is different and I have always recovered from surgeries VERY quickly:) I am extremely happy and hope my family and friends will feel the same way soon too!
