1 of 3 updates today!! Shut me up already!!
What is hard for me....or I guess just surprising to me...is that I feel like clothed, I really don't look that different. Breasts look bigger in tops...but not so much that anyone would notice. As for my stomach, after 30+ years of having a marcupial pouch, I've learned to dress to hide it. i'm living a really casual lifestyle these days (taking a sabbatical from lawyering)...and I'm pretty much in yoga pants (mind you -- don't do yoga and haven't exercised in a year)...shorts and flip flops (I live in San Diego)...jeans and an untucked t-shirt. So while I knew what I was smuggling under those clothes, I think I was the master of hiding it. So now I'm like...wait...why did I just do this? So that I can feel good for the 5 minutes a day I stand naked in my bathroom after a shower? Maybe an occasional flash for my husband...but other than that...not so different. I think it's because I kind of expected the same "OMFG" feeling that I would feel when I saw myself walk by a mirror after my gastric bypass. I would literally stand in front of the mirror SOBBING tears of joy and thankfulness for finally being released from the prison I had created. Next to marrying my husband and having my children, it was the single most life-impacting milestone in my life -- beyond my many travels...years of education...and pretty crazy, wild life filled with experiences of 10 life times. So I guess I just had expectations of feeling the same way with this surgery. And maybe I will once things "settle in" and I learn how to dress without hiding my stomach...and I figure out what shirts look good with enormous 34DDD bazookas....who knows. I mean - don't get me wrong - it's friggin awesome to see my nipples without having to fold them upwards in half like a pita....and to not have that hanging apron that shamed me for all of those years...but it's just not the same. So -- I think this one is just going to take a little more work. At 6 weeks, I can start working out -- and maybe after a few months -- now that I will be able to see a difference...I will finally be able to appreciate what I've done...for more than 5 minutes a day after a shower (ok...and maybe a little in bed ;P...like 3 minutes...KIDDING!). Time will tell. Still glad I did it...and once my alien belly button finds it's home, maybe the whole package will come together and I'll be skipping through the streets.

Provider Review
I have had the best experience ever with Dr. Gaon. My friend had a breast augementation from him and loved the results, so I scheduled a Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift and Augmentation. I met with other doctors, but felt Dr. Gaon was the best. Not only is his education and residency work top of the line, but his entire practice is high-end, state-of-the-art, modern, and clean. His staff was so warm and nice and I never felt any weird "plastic surgery office" vibe that you get in so many places in Southern California! Dr. Gaon gave me as much time as I needed to ask as many questions as I wanted (and I went in with an entire piece of paper!). Never rushed, never judgmental...just really direct and honest and gave me the feeling that I could trust him completely. Love love love this doctor, his entire staff (thank you, Erin!!) and there aren't enough stars to show how happy I am with Dr. Mark Gaon and Finesse Plastic Surgery.
