Post-op Surprises

First, thank you to Marie, Chicago; Charlene7; Susan Tucson; and Suzi1968: Your support through my process has been heartening, and I hope you all enjoy bodies that are now what you wanted. That's what I intend to do! I know Susan Tucson's experience with Dr. Quiroz was, and will continue to be, frustrating, stressful, and painful for her. I'm SO glad we met at the Recovery Boutique, and I'm looking forward to a happy reunion in Tucson! My surgeon here is wonderful, and I'll go to Lisboa to have bat wings "clipped" and navel fixed around Christmas so I can see friends on the island. After only three weeks, the revisions he did to the incisions for both breast lifts look as healed as if they were done months ago.
The lasting damage to the two women who went to Dr. Quiroz's CA clinic made me aware that my complaints are about scratches compared to what they're dealing with. Also, something good came out of having to have the revisions: the surgeon put me in the hands of Lisandra and Sandra to help relax the hardened muscles under the tummy tuck incision. We've become friends and spent the day together yesterday. Wednesday, Lisandra and I will fly to a nearby island for three days. Blessings abound! I'm not going to post photos of the surgery, because they're not what's important. I love my new body and I'm SO SO glad I embarked on this change-over. Best wishes to everyone! Aishasolo

My NEW breast reduction incisions are healing well, and what a difference than those in the photos I posted. I can barely see the one on the right side even after less than days. Monday I get the sutures removed. My only complaint is how frustrating it is to have to deal with the additional re-dressing and staining and finding gauze and bandages that work. In October this surgeon will revise the belly button, and I'm also going to get rid of my burgeoning bat wings. Thank you to everyone who has sent support and good wishes!

It's 9 weeks post-surgery and I'm feeling good. Which doesn't mean there aren't any problems. Tomorrow afternoon a PS here is going to do a revision on the left and right incisions from the breast lift. He doesn't know if anything can be done for the navel, which is just as wide across now as it was then. I'm glad I had the surgery, but I feel like the "lemon" of all Dr. Quiroz's other patients: lots of people can love a certain model of car, but there's always one that doesn't pass the quality assurance test, and I'm it. I'd really appreciate it if you women who had great experiences with Dr. Quiroz don't post anything argumentative about this post. I'm telling MY experience, and not putting down anyone else's opinion. That's what this forum is for, so please respect my feelings. I almost didn't post a follow up because of rude comments I got when I just told about what I'm going through. Best wishes to everyone who takes the risk of cosmetic surgery!
