At 21 I delivered a great big beautiful baby boy...
Skin be gone!
I'm a little scared by how incredibly tight my skin feels but I guess that's the entire purpose, right? :) I just fear finding out too much skin was removed - which would be horrible because there's not solution (or good solution for that). But I was reassured by Dr Ness that it was the correct amount and with the strong anchoring to the bone, that we won't have a problem with popping open, migration or labia distortion. Measure 2-3 times, cut once. He's really a great, caring doctor. He takes the time and he doesn't appear to have an ego or unhealthy ego I should say.
I'm in my lovely compression garment and have no idea how things look, but I'm sure I'll see it tomorrow in my 1 day post op. He marked me extensively to keep everything within the bikini lines. The goal is to have a nice curve to my butt and a slight crease under the area closest to the inner thighs, but for the incision to smooth out on the areas as my butt leads to the hip. I don't want a big crease across the entire lower buttock or a droopy butt. Can't wait to see and will let you all know how it looks with pics. Drowsing off now … Fingers crossed everything goes well! I'll be resting for at least 4-5 weeks with no activity other than safe amounts of walking, supplements, low-sodium diet, water, no stairs, no cars, minimal sitting when the time is right. As so many of you have rightfully preached … SLOW, SLOW, SLOW.
Day 2 was okay ….
Provider Review
Dr. Ness and Michaela have been terrific through this process. It has been relatively effortless. I haven't had any post op questions for them so my interaction and needs have been minimal or non-existent since the surgery on Monday 9/29. They were amazing however to come to my house for my 1 day post op appointment. My bedroom is up 4 flights of stairs and considering my incision goes all the way around the top of each thigh, I was incredibly worried to risk going down the stairs again, getting in a car to and from and then having to climb all those stairs once more. I am so grateful they came out to visit me. Next Tuesday I will see them for the one week PO and it will be 7.5 days since surgery so it should be fine then. I'll give my overall rating after I've had a chance to see the results. I'm expecting it will be terrific, but I just need to see it first. Thus far I'd give Dr. Ness an A+. Okay, I just had my first full unveiling at Dr. Ness's office and WOW … he did an AMAZING JOB!!! I was actually prepared for being disappointed that there would be problems with bad placement or a-symmetrical incisions, or a frowny butt or bad incision lines ++++ and I was prepared to deal with whatever the outcome. But everything is absolutely AMAZING!! He is a true artist and perfectionist. And he has a terrific bedside manner!! I give him A++ in every regard!!!
