Before & Afters - three surgeries including the latest
These photos show before and afters for Extended Abdominoplasty with Public Lift; Panniculectomy Arm Lift, Breast Lift, Bra-line Back Lift, butt lift, thighplasty and a body lift. These procedures have taken place in three separate sessions in the past 16 months. This has been nothing short of miraculous to me and I'm extremely pleased with my results. Dr. Stoker is a caring and skilled artist.
Sleeping normally
Forgot to mention that I have returned to my normal sleep patterns (finally) and have not being using any meds for sleep this week. With past surgeries, I've found the return to normal sleep patterns to be a challenge. Week six seems to be the week for me when everything is close to normal. Looking forward to increased activity as I've gained about eight pounds since this last surgery.
Six week follow-up appointment today
Saw Dr. Stoker this morning. He took some new after pictures (will post soon), which means he's happy with how things look. I am too. The swelling is down and I'm feeling a lot better discomfort-wise.
I can return to exercise if I want, just have to listen to what my body is saying and he said it's up to me to skip the compression and see how the swelling is without the compression.
It's really six months to see how everything settles and heals. I see him again in seven weeks.
Even thought this was my third procedure, there's some spots that I'd love to consider a little clean up on (lipo) and thigh lift, but I'm not in a big hurry to be back in the OR.
We spent a lot of time looking at old pictures versus today's pictures. It was fun. Today actually felt like "WOW, I'm finally done with the heavy lifting" even though we might do another few small things to clean up down the line. It's really remarkable to look at the befores and realize that was actually me.
Will post photos as soon as I get them. Should have brought a flash drive with me today!
