Change of plans

I have decided to change a few things.
I won't be traveling to LA anymore so I won't be doing this surgery with Dr Matlock. At least not for now. Unfortunately I'll miss my 1k deposit, but anyways... I can still use it if I ever need this surgery again in the future.
Even if I don't I will be spending less money now not going to LA.

I had my boobs done last month by a local Dr. He is pretty good and I'm very happy with my results. I have decided to have a BBL (will be writing a review on that) with him. I wanted to have one recovery for both procedures, thats why initially my plans were: Vaginoplasty in LA first week of april and BBL here in Dublin/CA second week of April. Why wouldn't I have everything with Dr. Matlock? He is not a plastic surgeon Board Certified. Yes! I have seen some AMAZING work on his before/after and even here on RS, but I'm talking about my health so I wouldn't like to risk everything. Thats why my initial plans were like this.

I had my pre op this week with my local PS, and I enquired him if I could have both surgeries so close together. He asked me what surgery I was going to have done and where. I told him and he said: "well, I perform this surgery too, do you want to have it all done here?"
He never pressured me he always told me it was my decision. I asked him why it doesn't show on his website anything about this surgery (thats why I never considered him for that) and he told me he doesn't advertise that because its a very specific and small number of women who want this done, so he advertises the things that the majority want.

Ok, so I will start a new review for vaginoplasty and BBL. Good luck to me!

The day is approaching

Ok, so time is going fast, and the day is arriving.
I'm VERY nervous about this surgery. I'm even more nervous about considering a BBL. I have always said I would NEVER do lipo but I want to do.
Its like 50% of me wants and 50% is very scared. So I feel I'm trapped in a maze... lost, completely lost.

ok, back to LVR... I am reading as much as I can to get ready.
I'm also watching some videos. Yes, I'm crazy, I know. But every time I do something I always watch how its done. I have watched videos of LASIK before I had it done, I have watched BA, and now I'm watching vaginal rejuvenation...

On my inside I'm going almost insane.
I'm glad me and my family had a little trip because I could rest my head. We are going back tomorrow, so I know I'll start getting crazy again.

Hi ☺

Some pre-surgery anxiety is normal, you're going to do great — just be sure to talk to your doctor before surgery if you have any questions. When is your big day? If you haven't done so already, be sure to check-in here, you may meet a recovery buddy. 

I look forward to your updates -- good luck!

Now everything has changed. I will be doing this locally. I won't be traveling to LA anymore. I will lose my deposit, but here is a better deal: i know the PS (is the same that has done my BA) and I will be doing BBL at the same time. I'll post a review on that soon.

Starting to plan for surgery

I had breast augmentation 2 weeks ago. Now that I'm healing fine and not having more pain I can start to concentrate on my second surgery.
I am getting super nervous because all the reviews I read here say the recovery is very painful for a very long time.

I'll be doing this on the first week of April, traveling to LA for it.

You're brave, I checked out your other review and noticed you also got Botox, not sure if you're aware but we also have a community dedicated to Botox if you also want to share your experience there. 

I wish you well on your surgery and will be checking back for updates.

Thanks Eva!
Yes, I did get Botox. This was something I really wanted to do for a very long time.
I have always wanted but never did before, for so many reasons I don't even know!

Now I'm even considering another procedure and if I do it will be the last one for a very long time (apart from Botox which I want to keep doing!!!)

Now you've sparked my curiosity, would you mind sharing what the other procedure you're considering is?

Hi Eva,
I'm considering the BBL. VERY VERY VEEEERY scared of liposuction. Thats why I'm not 100%. Also I don't have that much of fat. I just have those unwanted fat on some places (like belly/back/arms) but I don't even know if they are enough to make me a nice round butt!

I'm still considering. I'll have my 1month PO on monday (28) and will talk to my PS then...
