55 year old woman on rebuild project - phase 2

WORTH IT
It is over a year since my breast lift with Cadogen Clinic in London. It really does take about a year to return to ' normal ' breasts. Although my personal recovery was amazing! The whole experience and outcome was and is the best thing I have ever done for 'me'. I love this part of my body. And I am still thrilled.

So thrilled that I am scheduled for another procedure with Cadogen in a few days! This is with the same surgeon and is a neck lift, lower face lift and upper eye lift . I'm bracing myself to look horrendous for some while but I feel very calm and it's good to already know my surgeon and his team and that I am in good hands. I have to say, that anything to do with the face feels much more serious and in a way risky. You can't cover up a face after all.. Nevertheless, this is part of a long term project to 'lift' a number of areas that quite clearly are southbound as a result of age and a lifetime of yo yo dieting. I have prepared and taken all the vitamins, drunk water (I don't like water!) removed as much salt from my diet and I am now reducing my calorie intake to reduce a few pounds to help with the anaesthetic and to ensure a good amount of skin can be repositioned. I have had my expectations carefully managed and I look forward to looking a 'fresher' me and hopefully a younger me over time.

Every time I have seen Mr Olivier Amar, I have been impressed by his professionalism and his honest assessment of my situation. He is clear as to he can do/ is prepared to do and has absolute boundaries. He has always been at pains to tell me what he could achieve / could not achieve. It's interesting how the process of cosmetic surgery can make you add additional concerns to be 'nipped and tucked' once you start this journey, if not careful. Mr Amar was clear one procedure at a time. The pre-op experience with him was informative and professional and he clearly managed my expectations. The outward facing section of the Clinic was accessible and staff easy to talk to but sometimes difficult to work with. I think this is a process issue which could be rectified very simply. I have never had surgery before and there seemed to be an assumption that I understood the processes of the Clinic . Example, the website is not advisory in any way it is a sales tool. And Clinic processes were unclear. I don't need to know everything but I do need to be advised and properly informed. Example, what preparations should I make prior to surgery? I had to ask far too many questions regarding pre- op requirements and used the comments of those on this site to direct and inform me . Thank you! So I have had to ask whether I need blood tests....a mammogram and whether I see the anaesthetist alongside many other basic questions I cannot emphasise the professionalism of the clinical team from the attentive care of the nursing team through to the expertise of everyone involved in the procedure itself led by Mr Olivier Amar. I really want to emphasise Mr Amars expertise, openness and professionalism. I felt confident with him. I had no doubts at all in his skills as a surgeon and implicitly felt I was in good hands. The results so far are remarkable and exceed those carefully managed expectations. My recovery has been astonishing. And I cannot thank Mr Olivier Amar enough for his skills, intelligence and artistry. I have no doubt whatsoever in recommending him and I plan to proceed with further surgery next year. One to watch I think.....

54 year old woman breast lift - week 5 /6

Not a great deal to report. I'm still healing, feel good, and positive. I've been looking for bras that can take me through the next month which are not surgical or designed for breast feeding mums. Surely there's enough of us having this procedure to merit a pretty, lacy/silk well designed, supportive bra without rough seams that is non wired? I can't find one and it's frustrating because for the first time in my life I love my boobs even with their scars. In fact in a weird way the scars tell their own story ....and that's about self esteem and self value. I went into this wanting to change myself physically but the impact this procedure has had on me is more profound. I feel emotionally stronger. Forgive me if I sound overly theatrical but I think I've had an epiphany......and if I've spelt that right I will be amazed!! X

54 Year Old Woman - Breast Lift Week 4

I'm in the middle Of Christmas and have had a real battle with Christmas food and no excercise. I've chosen to 'cut loose' from the family and return home to get back to normal and to stop eating vast amounts of trifle!! My breasts feel fine. ...just a little scar pain.

I'm wearing the original compression garment and tight sports bras if I'm going out. The pain on under my left breast is triggered by a stretch or if I massage my tummy and pull the skin ....it feels like the scar may split open!

I check all the time and although it's a little red, I'm still 'stuck' together:))

I am diligent with morning and evening bio oil massage and do this in and out of the shower or in a very low level bath. I then apply ( to dry skin) a layer of silicon gel or strip and wish I'd bought an ample supply of this as I've run out already. My breasts still feel firm and I detect a little softening. My nipples are really sensitive.

I'm
I threw away my old bras and for now in the supportive practical stuff. For some reason this gets me down a little even though I know it's part of the process. I think it's because it reminds me of times when I was heavier. I'm also trying to find a party dress that can accommodate the sports bra which is harder than I thought.

My experience so far has been incredible. My advice to anyone is if you are unhappy with your body....fix it. Don't wait until you are my age. It truly is the best thing I have ever done. This is my first step. The next will be a tummy tuck, thigh and bottom lift.....but over time....gradually and carefully. Just knowing I'm going to do this makes me feel positive about myself.

My advice to anyone considering surgery is that it has to be for 'you'. I don't doubt that a few careless and cruel comments from men have fuelled this desire. But I think it's important to stress that surgery has to be a considered decision and a very personal choice. And if you do this for 'you' not others, it is truly empowering! Good luck ! Xx
