Five Head, Be Gone!! - Oakland, CA

I had my sutures/ staples removed 5 days ago. I premeditated myself because I wasn't sure how much tugging would be involved. It really wasn't necessary.It wasn't bad at all. I was referred to a plastic surgeon in my city. This doctor actually does this procedure, but I made the choice to go to the Guru. He and his Nurse practitioner were very impressed with the incision and remarked about how nice it looks. I am so happy I put on my big girl britches and flew to California. I was watching the Kardashian show, and their was a scene that showed Kris and her daughter riding a rollercoaster. I can't wait to get on a rollercoaster and not worry about my hair blowing off my forehead. Crazy, but that's the first thing I thought about. I have still been washing my hair and letting it air dry. I wear baseball caps right now. But, let me tell you. A few times I forgot my cap, and kept it moving. You can't tell that I have had surgery! I plan to get my hair professionally done again in 2 weeks. I will start working out again next week. I plan to update monthly.

Day before suture removal. You can see the staples on the sides. The goo you see us Bacitracin. I am washing it out tonight before appointment tomorrow, then will continue to reapply

Things are going well. Washing hair was strange. The top of my scalp is numb. I put my hair back in a low bun, and let it air dry. I have been wearing a scarf in public. Incision looks good. No pain meds today. Scalp just feels tight. I am so happy, I showed a few family members over the easter holiday, despite the sutures, they love it. I addded zinc and Vitamin c just to support the recovery period. I apply bacitracin to suture line. I have my sutures removed this Thursday. i will post new photos then.
