First, I would like to thank Real Self for bringing together all specialists that trough their kindness answered to all our questions preparing us for what should we expect during our recoveries. Thank you. Choosing you surgeon is extremely difficult. Even though my surgeon was not in Real Self map I knew that he deserve to be known. His name is Joe Niamtu, an extraordinary surgeon and human been. Kind, generous, and knowledgeable you can feel the moment you meet this man that there is no better one to operate you. Ah, did I mentioned that he only operate the face, no tummy, no boobs, just your cute face.? During the month beetwen I paid deposit and the surgery day, i watched all the videos and blogs on his website. With each day my trust was growing and it felt like eternity until I will lay down on the operating table. Dr Niamtu has posted about 7000 pics and i believe i saw at least half.
So surgery day was 21 of August. Katy came picked me up from the hotel. Waiting time there about an hour. Signing papers, getting marked, last look in the mirror to the old me.... I got up on the surgery table. Everything around me seems so glamorous ,exquisite I felt like a celebrity in Hollywood with all the lights on me......And action. I woke up when the movie was done. I knew I have to act that I am feeling good so they can let me home with Katy.. Surprisingly I felt good except a minor headache. Laying on my bed it felt like heaven . While Katy is reading quietly her book, in that massive orange armchair provided by the hotel, I closed my eyes and said a prayer thanking God that I am ok. I then thank and huged my momy, who died last year , while recovering from tummy-tuck, I knew she is with me. The film was cut again zzzzzzz When i woke up i felt so hungry. I sent Katy home to be with her family and I eat like a pig while watching scary news on tv.

22 August
My last day at this beautiful and hospitalier Hampton hotel. Just knowing that outside my door there is a table full of goodies prepared since 6 am, i intentionally ignored my Frankenstein look and run outside to get my breakfast. mmmmmm so so so delish. And hot coffee..... it made my day . Finally got to the office. Parked by the dumster and piucked all the breakfast. Ufffff I guess my body was reacting to my greedyness.haha. It was dificult for me to say "good bye" to all those wonderful friends that made my stay in Virginia unforgettable. I'm sitting here in one of those super elegant rooms , the door is open and a pair of arms are coming to hug me. Yep, that is my Ginger, the angel that was there for me from the first email to the last moment . She carry a bag with creams that she said will need in my recovery. She than oppened one box and gently applied the cream under my eyes. I hate to say good buy because as soon i will save money i will be right back for a neck lift. Before i drove back to NY, i took Katy to a dinner and i knew that she will take in care of me every time i will need her. Thank you Dr Niamtu for everything

I work so hard

I work so hard all year around from 2-3-4 am until God knows, so those "lazy" day feels like a bonus so well deserved.I woke up today the 6 day po with both eyes glued. I clean them gently and generously applied a layer of Vaseline. It feels already gooooood. You'll think by 6th day we would look better? Bad news my friends. I still look like just came from an accident. Anyway I won't go anywhere except backyard to feed a cat and her brand new babies. She doesn't care how I do look. There is no reason to get frustrated. Allow yourself at least 10-12 days for this. Less if you don't do the laser. Uuuuhhhh my coffee is ready. Nothing can brighten my morning than this hot, black cup of coffee.You guessed, no milk, just honey. I grabbed a book, I know there are not lot of us who will enjoy the paper books, called Strategies for Success by Dornan. It will keep me company on this day that nothing exciting can happened except my regular photo shooting daily session. While I was thinking where should I apply the strategies learned from the book my phone is ringing like "Katrina" is coming back. I don't want to talk to anyone those days. I already know what they will say:" oh Zi you are so beautiful, you didn't need a surgery!!! " " what did you say you have had done". "O honey you should ask me before, I could recommend to the doctor..."...... Oh NO ....I don't want to hear any of my friends right now. I don't remember promising any of them to do the surgery for any one other then ME I know soon I will play that game with them: " can you find my scars?". Is that a game?? Hahah I just invented a game. Anyway the real question that I can't figure how will I answer is what drove me last week down to Virginia. Something magis had happened. Last year when I planed my tummy tuck I wrote back n forth with Pocahontas and saw he pics and read review. This time I knew no one that was operated by Dr Niamtu. And still ,last week 20 of August 2013 at 2:30 in the morning I woke up happy to finally meet this extraordinary doctor, which will change something on my face . Nothing could stop me. Almost 2 months ago I was setting like usual the internet, when I came across Dr Niamtu picture. That's it. I found HIM!!!!. Then little by little I was discovering how unique, knowledgeable, and charitable this wonderful men is it. During those two months I cried sometimes. I liked to believe that my mom , who died while recovering from tummy-tuck was helping me to find my doctor. Please tell me I am crazy, but I felt that way. I wish my mom can see how young I look today. She always saw my pretty
