Great Plastic Surgeon!

My surgery was on Dec. 14th, 2018. Everything went great. Arrived at the office at 7.45 am. Somebody was waiting for me. All the paperwork was taken care of the day of my pre-op (1 week before my surgery), which I think it is a wonderful idea (I've read reviews where people have to do it the same day of the surgery... eekk). Everything, from the pre-op pictures to all my prescriptions were handled a week before surgery. I love how organized Dr. D's staff is. Days before surgery, Dina Calloway, one of Dr. D's amazing, caring, sweet, and beautiful Patient Coordinator called me to check on me, to see if I had any questions about the surgery, and to make sure I had everything set. The evening before surgery, Jennifer, Dr. D's anesthesiologist, called me to give me instructions and to go through any questions or fears I might have about general anesthesia. She was awesome!!!! Before and after surgery. Dr. D's surgical nurses are great too. I was very nervous and they were so professional, warm and caring. Let me tell you, I'm extremely picky about doctors and the whole process from how I am treated from day one to my last appt. This is not one of those places where they treat you well until you pay and then you became a piece of meat. They will care about you from start to end.
Today is my 12th day after surgery and my 1st day home alone. I'm feeling great. I've been walking since day 2 after surgery. It really helps. Getting a power recliner might be helpful too. It was to me :)
I stopped taking the strong pain killers on the 21st. I'm taking Tylenol Extra Strenght only. I was able to attend my family Christmas eve dinner party and I truly did not have any problem. I've been moving around pretty good since day 4. I'm already doing some chores around the house, nothing big or heavy.
After losing more than 30 lbs in 5 months before surgery, my boobs were not only big but completely deflated...horrible! (36DD/36DDD) I can't believe how good they look now! - at least they look awesome to me :) love the natural look. My belly keeps improving every day. Extremely happy too!

Happy Holidays! It's been a looonnggg weekend! Full of yummy temptations! I did my best to avoid unnecessary carbs and sugar. The day I decided to schedule my surgery I was around 155 Lbs plus. I worked hard to shed some pounds before surgery. My blood pressure has been on the high side for a few years, losing the weight and eating a healthy diet definitely improved it.

Hi Ladies! I am 6 days post op today and feeling great. I wasn't sure about sharing my MM journey online but after thinking about it... why not!? The reviews and pictures I found in Realself helped me so so much... If you are thinking about doing this, I hope my journey will help you and encourage you to do what you want to do. Thank you so much to the very sincere and brave ladies posting here who took the time to reply to all my questions!

So.... let's start!! I am an almost 40 year old mom of one teen girl. Before I decided to have surgery, my weight was 155 Lbs (5 feet 3'). This is the biggest I've ever been in my life. I've always taken good care of myself, ate well, and worked out but as we all know, sometimes we let go and 5 years later you finally accept that you have put 30 lbs and something has to be done now, yes or yes! One of the things I've never liked about my body - while skinny or fat - was my double chin. I think is a family thing... it's always been there, no matter what. I hated it with passion!!!! One day I run into a friend of mine at a dinner party and she told me that she was getting a double chin lipo and that it was a super fast and inexpensive procedure.... and I was ooohhhhhhhhh myyyy Godddddd that is just whaaatttt I neeedddd, and I waaaannnttt it NOW! I bombarded her with questions! When, how, who, how much.... she had me at great doc/35 mnts procedure/less than 2k/weekend recoop, and voila... that is how I heard about Dr. Delange for the first time. I waited for my friend to do it and after I saw the results I decided to book my first appointment with him. Even if this procedure was done 7 months before my MM, I will post a before and after picture of my chin for you to see :)
