Hi I'm 57 years old, happily married with 2 grown up children. I have like many of you been a stalker on this site since I joined in March. I think it's awesome and gets you prepared for what really happens. I used to be a b/c cup I'm now a DD and want to be a B cup again. My belly just keeps getting bigger and bigger the menopause I'm told.
I try to exercise I walk a lot but that's about it I hate gyms and end up wasting money when I join them. I am getting very nervous as my BR and lift plus vaser lipo to upper /lower abdo and hips is only a week away 31st may. I'm second guessing myself my hubbies keeps saying only a week are you excited. Yes and no. I've gone through Nip-Tuck cosmetic surgery in Auckland. Penny Bennett seems very nice and helpful. She also had a BR a few years ago in Auckland plus lipo last year in Phuket so good to actually talk with someone who's been through it. Can anyone tell me if I can have my nails done before surgery or not I have gels and wouldn't be able to get them off easily.
My Dr is dr narupon at PIAC I've not heard anything bad about him only good things so fingers crossed.
I'm also worried about the long flight back to NZ but I'm in Phuket for 16 days so hopefully should be ok. Has anyone had problems with the flights I know it's going to be hard but any tips/advice would be great.
I will update next week once I've been under the knife

Good luck for your procedure. I'm in the UK and was asked to remove all nail varnish prior to my BR last month.

I'm all done and feeling great Ist day bit out of it but I'm day 3 po now and feeling good No bruising at all and no nausea feel swollen but the pain mess are great. I will try to stop taking the one that makes you drowsy tomorrow. Had a shower this morning didn't need any help and felt great Fingers crossed I don't go downhill just uphill from now on My boobs feel too big really should have gone for a b cup but ps told me a c would be better and he didn't feel I needed vaser lipo to hips so just had BR and 2 lipo to upper and lower abdo I was going to plunge for a TT but the 8 hr surgery at my age put me off ps said it comes with higher risks at my age. So I just hope my tummy will be flatter and my boobs go a bit small once the swelling has gone Question to everyone do they reduce a bit or is this the size I will stay?

Ha, no they don't stay that big...You have a fair bit of swelling going on there and they will feel quite firm/hard for a couple of weeks as well...How are you feeling now that it's all over?

Are you going to Phuket or Bangkok? I'm looking into Bankok end of August with a group of ladies. Waiting for my quote now. Good luck.

Yours turned out great - you must be very happy. It's really good to see women who are not youngsters getting great results. (I will be 64 next month before my br).

All over and back home in New Zealand. Didn't like Phuket very much quite dirty and frightening to think I'd gone there for this Sutter but the private PIAC did a great job and the 5 star beach resort was just what was needed. I'm sure this helped my recovery to be so fast. Very hot and humid but hotel out of season so nice and quite nothing to really do but relax.
Returned to the resort Po day 3 felt tired but ok. Had a bit of food Meds and lots of water. Hubby looked after me put me to bed watched a bit of TV had a great sleep. Woke feeling a bit sore still swollen took meds had a shower washed and dried hair but a touch of makeup on and we went to the restaurant for breakfast.
Had a nice easy day felt great slept in the afternoon dressed later for evening dinner . Feeling tired but great considering this was day 4 po
Great to say no constipation feeling lucky so far nothing has gone wrong.

Wow...You look great...Fancy going out to dinner so fast and wearing a lovely dress with no indication of what's going on underneath..They will get smaller as the swelling goes down and they will also soften up..You are brave going to Thailand to have major surgery when you can't even drink the water there...Hahaha...I don't think I'd be game but it seems to have worked for you hey...Can't wait to see further photos...Stay rested, the tiredness does go away...

It seems that you are recovering quite nicely in a beautiful place.
June 22, 2015
Wow amazing you felt up to all that after surgery. Recovery seems so different for different people.
