Sorry for not keeping in touch ladies, I wentt back to scottsdale to have a breast implat exchange and a lift. My right implant after 15 years dislodged from the muscle so I had to have this done. I am over the moon, its only 9 days since surgery, and the top part of my breast are very swollen I guess it takes a while for the implants to drop into the pocket, I have to wear a sports bra 24/7 plus a binding strap the helps the implants move down. I showed Dr Shapiro exactly what i wanted my breast to look ,like, I was a 34DD and now I am a 34C, and the lift is unreal. My boobs are back where they should be.I am really excited. he also did lipo on the area of my bra strap line and the horrible pocket of fat under my arm pit that will never go away no matter how much yoga I do or skinny I get. He explained to me like my lower tummy , those areas can only be removed with lipo. Regarding my face he is super happy with the results. He did several addition procedueres free of charge, the first was while I was under he injected something perhaps some sort of steroid to reduce the swelling, then he did fraxtionated light therapy on my racoon eyes, so all discoloration will be gone, Then he put m ein a chin strap which I did not have because he did not want to disturb the fat transfer. This strap is HORRIBLY uncomfortable =but it works like crazy!!!!! I am almost at 9 weeks and would do it all over again. I found the breast surgery too be more painful than the face lift. When I walked into the office for the first time all the girls were ooing and aweing over me, I said what about all my swelling guys, I am still so swollen, they started giggling and said at 8 weeks, I am less swollen than most all their patients. So that mad me feel wonderful. I have also lost 13 pounds since my face lift, partly because I had to cut out all salt and I only eat fresh food, nothing pre-made or packaged. As soon as I start to feel better from this current surgery I will post some pictures, I still have not worn makeup, only lipstick and tinted sunscreen. I hope you are all well!. And those of you who has surgery in the last few weeks please write and let me know how you are,
Love,
Lizzie
