Tears of Joy

I literally cried when I seen my breasts after surgery yesterday. It's been 10 years since I wanted and needed a breast lift but never got one. With starting a new workout regimen and changing my diet I decided to start researching breast lift doctors. Looking at before and after photos of breast lift surgeries I was never really satisfied with the results, that is until I came across a patient of Dr. Daniel Zeichner's here on RealSelf. I immediately fell in love with her photos, with his work. The technique he used was amazing and one of a kind. His breast lifts looked like the patients had implants, the breast shape was pure perfection and so was the scarring. I booked a consultation immediately and his staff were all very pleasant and thorough. I was able to do all of my paperwork through email and as well as the booking of my pre operative visit and surgery. Fast forward, I flew out to Fort Lauderdale from San Francisco. At my preop my blood was drawn and my vitals were taken. I passed with flying colors. Dr. Zeichner was such a nice doctor and spent at least 30 minutes with me going over my health history and the look I wanted to achieve. We even talked about my home town and family. It was such a pleasure meeting with him. I also had a tattoo on my left, smaller breast that I have wanted to be removed for years, from a previous relationship before my marriage and when he told me that it would be removed with the extra skin I was elated. His office was very clean and comfortable and organized. I was originally scheduled for my procedure to take place on 10/6/ 2016, however, it was delayed due to hurricane Mathew. Thank God he didn't even touch the area we were in. Moving on to surgery day, I was to arrive by 6:30am. I'm very punctual so I was there 15 minutes early. I checked in and paced the waiting room too excited to sit down. My nurse finally called me in a little over 30 minutes later. She was such a doll, made me feel warm and comfortable. She had me sign my paperwork for my breastlift and liposuction to my underarms and bra line. Gave me a pregnancy test, had me dress down into a white paper gown, compression socks, booties, and hair cap. She took my vitals and put in and IV. She gave me meds for pain by mouth and anti nausea meds through my IV. Soon after, Dr. Zeichner came in to see me and make his marking, which he took his time and talked with me the entire time. When he was done, the anesthesiologist came in and asked me questions about my health and explained what she was going to be doing. 5 minutes later I was being taken into the Operating Room. The last thing that I remember I was stretching out my arms to be strapped to the table. When I woke up, I didn't feel pain or sick to my stomach. The pain did kick in within an hour though but by that time I had my meds from the pharmacy. When I finally got back to my best friend's house and peeked at my breasts, I was so overwhelmed with happiness that I started crying, literally. Tears of joy. My breasts look better than they have my entire life, even pre-pregnancy. I will post pictures soon. The pain is real so I'm not ready to remove my bra and do pictures yet. I'll also put up my before pictures as well. I recommend Dr. Zeichner 1000%. He was definitely work traveling 3000 miles for.

So here are some post op photos. I was called this morning and asked to come into the office for a post op visit within 2 hours. When I arrived there, the wait was about 10 minutes. Once was called back to my room, my nurse who was super nice, helped me undress and prepared me for the nurse who was to remove my old bandages and place steri-strips. Removing the tape wasn't too bad. I was done in about 25 minutes. I took photos BEFORE the tape was changed. I will post more picks by tomorrow with just the sterile strips.

These have new sterile strips placed where the tape was removed.
