Regrets

I'm scheduled for my tummy tuck and implant replacement, with a lift, on Thursday, 2 days from now, and I'm only starting to get nervous. I'm more nervous of the actual surgery and being put under, than anything else. I had scheduled a body lift with a BA with a different surgeon but after researching, through this site, more thoroughly, and communicating with previous patients, I discovered that the surgical team I chose are yes, triple board certified, but NOT in plastic surgery. I literally almost had a board certified dentist perform my plastic surgery... anyway, after losing my deposit, I feel 100 times better in choosing the board certified plastic surgeon who will be slicing and dicing me in 2 days. Don't get me wrong, I have seen that many board certified COSMETIC surgeons who have performed many PLASTIC surgeries with a stellar outcome but I do not want to take the chance, with my body, after paying a substantial amount of money to becoming a botched patient, when more than a handful of previous patients have had issues, the same issues, with problems not being addressed and not even a call back (all communications ceased) I can't feel good about following through so... Onward and upward!

Holy Mary, mother of God! The pain!! I can barely function at the moment.. these pain pills are not providing much comfort at all! Thank God I have a cath in or there'd be absolutely no way of getting to the toilet! Will post before and after when I can actually move...

So, I'm 9 weeks post op and I am at my wits end... I had my tt and implants replaced (from saline to silicone) with a lift.. I had my 1st BA 20 years ago, had a lift and needed an implant for volume up top and Dr. Wilson (Scottsdale, AZ) recommended that the implants be done under the muscle to achieve the look that i wanted. This time around I also opted to have my implants go under along with a lift and the doc recommended again, the "key hole" procedure and a silicone implant, under the muscle. The day of my procedure, 5 minutes before goin under, my surgeon said that we probably don't need to go with the "key hole" procedure, that it wasn't absolutely necessary.. Fast forward to my 6 week check up, I expressed that I wasn't happy with my outcome, that it doesn't look as though I even had a lift but just the bottom of my breasts were removed.. then the surgeon's assistant told me that my implants were put in OVER the muscle! I kinda flipped out and asked why that was, being that we were all clear on going under the muscle. She said, " we put them in the way we find em".. said that my implants weren't under the muscle when they removed them and they didn't put them under because it's a 2 part procedure and they just put them in the way they found them. WTAF?! Am I crazy or does this not make sense? We went back and forth for a minute and I had to leave, i was so mad... I literally look worse than before surgery and these people are acting like nothings wrong, that I look great! I look like I still need a lift and being that the implants are over the muscle, my breast look like they're weighted down BY the implant... Am I crazy? At my appointment last week, he told me that now there's only going to be so much he can do, as far as a lift, and he's concerned that lifting them where I want them, my nipples may not be covered by my bra or bikini top... huh?! Told me that losing weight would help in the "sagging" look... Please tell me what I am missing here!
