SMAS Facelift with Platymaplasty
I'm taking norco for pain and a sleeping pill at night. Instructions are to sleep upright for 2 weeks, very light activity, polysporin on incisions.
Dr. Maack uses a surgery center next to his office. I spent the night with 24 hr. care and he popped in 3 times after surgery to check on me. Then he came in first thing this morning and took the gauze wrap off....what a relief that was!
Here are a few pictures and I'll try to post daily.
6 weeks now, and feeling beautiful!
My next appointment with Dr. Gurley is in 6 weeks. Each weekly post op appt. from the second week on, I saw Colleen, Dr. Gurleys nurse, and she was awesome. She took pictures of my progress, answered questions, and we'd chat. I'm actually gonna miss her!
I'm adding a 6 week video, it's so much easier to see the form, shape, incisions etc. The incisions are still pink for the most part. The crease incisions are flattening and smoothing out. My breasts are so soft and jiggly....I love them!
5 weeks and oh so loving the girls!!!
One thing about vVctoria Secret and their staff, here anyway, they didn't measure me correctly several years ago, and I have a drawer full of the wrong size. I always battled the falling strap and bra moving around, but figured they knew what they were doing. They measured me 36D or 38C. Not, never was. I measure 34C, maybe 34D. Huge difference. I'm trusting Dr. Gurley and her nurse Colleen. So in a few weeks I'll go back, or maybe elsewhere, and get a few beautiful new underwires for my beautiful new girls!!! That's exciting, and feels so good to feel good about myself again.
It will be interesting, once I stop the squishing bra at night, so see how they change. I'm loving it, and so it my sweet, deserving hubby!! He has been so patient not getting to "play" with the new girls. We weren't taking any chances with open incisions until healed.
Have a wonderful and safe Memorial Weekend!!
Provider Review
Dr. Gurley was a blessing...(previous surgeon would not have been a good choice.) My positive experience started with a phone call to the office, and a conversation with Barb. From there everything got even better. Colleen, Dr. Gurleys nurse spoke with me over the phone and made me feel so at ease. During my consultation, Dr. Gurley was a real person, talked with me, not at me. She measured, took pictures, asked lots of goal questions. We looked at tons of pictures. I was consulting for a breast revision with lift. She explained everything completely, and answered all my questions and concerns. I left there feeling confident I had chosen the perfect surgeon for my surgery! The day of surgery, Dr. Gurley came in to mark me...she had all my pictures we had looked at, and we went over everything she'd be doing, what to expect afterwards. I really wasn't even nervous because of the confidence I had in her as a surgeon. From my first consultation to my 6 week post op appt., if I had any question or concern, I could call the office, and Colleen always called me back. I never once felt like they were too busy or rushed me. I honestly cannot stress enough, how skilled and professional, yet personal, Dr. Gurley and her staff were/are. If ever I were to choose another procedure, Dr. Gurley would always be the ONLY CHOICE in my surgeon. Thank you Dr. Gurley!
