I have been hating mirrors for the last while &...
In the meantime I have had my first of two Venus Viva treatments & so far I am very pleased. I have a lot of wrinkles for my age (according to my skin assessment) so I'm not expecting miracles. Nancy at the PS office is the gal who did my first treatment & she was great. I felt very comfortable with her & as we chatted the time passed quickly. I've attached some before & after photos.
I am looking forward to this journey and will post along the way.
If I can answer any questions I will certainly do so.
Day 2
Still lots of wrinkles though!
Pre Op
I have all my instructions, RX's for meds (pain & antibiotics); and a requisition for blood work & an ECG (which I will get done tomorrow). The nurse took my vitals (BP and HR) and everything seemed fine.
The only issue is that I have a reaction to Epinephrine which is commonly used in local anesthetics. So the OR nurse who did my Pre op will speak with Dr. Bonaparte to see if I can still have the
surgery in their private OR or maybe it will have to be done in the adjoining hospital. Either way I hope my date of January 29th doesn't change. This reaction started about 7 years ago at the dentist & I used to dread going. Now they inject me with the 'old' freezing. It supposedly doesn't last as long but I've never had a problem with it. It's a pretty awful feeling...like your heart is going to explode out of your chest.
I also received a vial of Arnica Montana pellets which are to be taken to help with bruising and swelling. Hey whatever helps..I'm in!
So now it's just a waiting game.
Cheers everyone..

p.s. started a strict diet on January 4th (right after I ate thru all the bad stuff in the house!)
Provider Review
I met with Dr. Bonaparte & liked him immediately. Maybe because we're both originally East Coasters! I was looking for someone in whom I would feel complete confidence and I have found that in Dr. B and his staff. I am now one month post op and I am very happy with my results. And I am extremely glad that I chose the Plastic Surgeon that I did. Dr. Bonaparte is such a caring individual...I cannot imagine anyone with a better bedside manner. And of course given my results he is obviously also excellent at what he does! I had a minor issue throughout my recovery and he was always available to see me immediately. I never felt that I was being overly cautious (or a nuisance patient:-). I would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering any type of facial surgery. The man knows his 'stuff'!!
