It's Time for a Breast Lift!! - with liposuction of bilateral sides, Back and Reversion of Abs!!!!Great Neck, New York

Ok this was a harder decision to make, because my breasts aren't huge but they do sag with my age. They're really uncomfortable actually I have hanging skin to the sides of each breast I was going to just have some liposuction done but the skin will still be there, so it just made more spence to have them lifted and reduced slightly. I just am a little more chicken these days with my age..61! I ask myself, am I asking for too much? I just had liposuction of my abs, outer thighs and flanks last Feb. I went originally to have these side breast bulges done and a small fat pack on my base of neck. But I was pointed out by my PS that there were other areas that were more of a priority!!! Lol!!! I was always afraid of Liposuction. So now it's done, I'm very happy to have somewhat of a waist now, but that needs a reversion. He is doing that on him. I'm getting a discount on my breat lift/reduction, with a little liposuction in the abs still, along with back bra line and boobage, yes, that's what we will call them, the stuff you'll see to the sides of my breast!! Lol!!! Actually just hate them!!! So here are my pre op photos. Keeping my expectations real. I am my own worst enemy...I'm so damned persistent!!!

I thought that I should explain that along with the Breast there are areas my PS will be giving me a reversion on my abs also. They weren't as expected. Also he'll liposuction 2 areas on the bra line. So I have a lot going on. But this time the liposuction shouldn't be like the last. I had done my legs and they did cause some discomfort for a while, with swelling in the 3 mo. post surgery. After that the swelling was over.

I'm finally getting everything in order. Last week I had my consultation with Plastic Surgeon, we straightened out what I was going to do. I WAS just going to do liposuction around bra areas and he was going to do reversion on my abs. Well all has changed and I'm doing a reduction/lift!!! It made more sense, and he's giving me a decent discount!!! So why not? The breasts are droopy and uncomfortable. Scary?? A tad..at this age!!! But if I don't where will these breasts be when I'm 70 or 80??? My poor Mom, hers were really low at 80 something:( So I will still have some liposuction on bilateral sides, and the back. And the reversion on the abs also!! I think I'm going to be very sore. I did see PS again yesterday to give her my payment in full of $7,000. , signed the agreement, risks, initialed each page of literature on the whole process of before the surgery preparation and after. I have to read of that again, there were 25 pages. Mostly the same kind of thing I had with my liposuction last year. And my 3 RX's : pain killer, anti nausea, I'm to take one with a sip of water 1 hr. before surgery, and of course an antibiotic. The women in the PS office that had it done say thier breast lift were not that bad & they even had tummy tucks!!! Ouch!!! But I'm probably 15 years older. I'm excited, but when it gets closer I'm sure I won't be able to get myself to the gym. My room is almost done, I cleaned my windows, washed my drapes, Winter ones go up now. Just a little more arranging in there, so things are reachable by my bed. A good dusting etc. My husband & I have pagers..so I can call him when I need him. Had those for 15 yrs. like walkie talkies!! Works better than calling on the cell phones. I purchased my needs at drug store: neoesprine topical ointment, but they say I don't need them, no hurt gauze wrap, Ester C..keep my immune system in check, I have to start taking them now, kleenexes, gauze pads for cleaning wound, Zantac..for heartburn!!! Yes I get heartburn when on those powerful pain killers!! So I hope I can switch to Tylenol quick!! I also got some more makeup remover cleansing towelettes to freshen up, when layed up:) did the grocery store thing a couple of days ago. Pineapple juice, coconut water, straws..I have..., a few frozen quick dinners. Snacks..Skinny Pop little single servings, protein bars..I like Kind the nut bars. Healthy snacks. Frozen single serve vegetables. I forgot jello, soothes the throat!! I'll get that today, I have one compression bra, Velcro front opening. And another kind that's too big, going to send that back and I ordered a new one, a size down. The Velcro front, is a compression sports bra. I ordered the ones with the pockets for drains, but the Coordinator, said I probably won't have any drains. My pre- op visit with the Hospital is this Thursday, they called me yesterday!! When I go I'll have my check written for Hospital and one for the annestissioligist. Oh yes..with elective surgery...they want their money up front!!! We took a drive out there to see exactly where this Hospital was. It's about a 1/2 hr. drive. So I'm pretty much set. But there are a few more things I need to get straightened in my house yet. I don't like a unorganized home. I will also post my instructions for my husband on my kitchen wall..dose times etc. Today I have a few errands to run and then going to the gym. I will post a photo of the compression Sports Bra. Take care Real Selfers. I touch base again!!!
