3 Months Out and Never Been Happier!

I have never liked what I saw in the mirror - until now! I am 3 months out from having significant body work at 22 Plastic Surgery with Dr. Reuben - belt lipectomy, Lipo 360, breast lift with reduction, fat transfer to the breasts, lipo of lateral and medial thighs and Renuvion. Recovery was a journey but easier than I had envisioned- and now that I’m 3 months post-op, I’m beyond thrilled with how my body is shaping up!

Beyond his clear, expert surgical techniques (just look at those pretty scars!!), Dr. Reuben is so kind, knowledgeable and invested in giving you exactly what you need to feel like your best self. When I had a wound issue with the incision on my back, he was very reassuring that it would heal well even though I was anxious about it. I got the support and guidance I needed to properly care for it so it healed beautifully - no concerns at all!

Now that I’m healed, I’m exploring additional procedures and would only consider Dr. Reuben and the 22 team for my care. Next up is an additional fat transfer to the breasts to increase size (I knew I likely would want to go bigger than 1 transfer could accomplish, and I didn’t want implants); and a thigh and arm lift. I would without question do what I’ve already done all over again, and couldn’t be happier with every aspect of my experience!

4 Days Post-Op and Feeling Great!

I had my surgery on Tuesday, and it was just an exemplary experience from start to finish! I was the first surgery of the day, so I arrived at about 645. I was greeted on arrival with big smiles and enthusiasm that immediately put me at ease. And that’s how everyone was - just genuinely friendly and excited to be on this journey with me. I didn’t have any anxiety or fear at all- just excitement that was matched by Dr. Reuben and my entire care team.

Because the camera was broken during my pre-op, we started with my before pics before going into the exam room where Dr. Reuben closely examined all of the areas that he was going to work on and marked them up to make sure the work he was doing was going to match my expectations. From there, it was a goodbye to my husband and into the OR, where the last thing I remember saying was, “Oh, I feel so relaxed now”. Lights out for the next 6 hours!

The next thing I remember was waking in the recovery room with my husband and care team beside me. I was groggy and sore but in exceptionally little pain. I attribute this to the exparel - DO NOT SKIP IT! Yes, it’s an extra charge but worth every single penny in easing the pain in the first few days. I also chose to get the nausea patch that I wore behind my ear, and I’ve had little to no nausea the entire time.

Dr. Reuben personally called my husband to check on me the evening I went home, and called me the next day to check in. The personal touch is what really makes a difference - he called from his personal phone number and made it clear that we could use it to reach him for anything at anytime.

Urinating was the first challenge because of the catheter they had on during surgery. I didn’t urinate until the day after surgery, and it took a few times before it felt like I cold urinate normally. I was diligent with using both a stool softener and laxative, and had my first bowel movement 4 days post-op. The drains are a necessary nuisance. I have 3 in my abdomen, and I expect they’ll be removed at my 1 week appointment. I showered 2 days post-op and that was very difficult- I should have given it one more day because it really took it out of me.

My pain has been exceptionally well managed. Coughing makes me feel like I’m going to die, and sneezing is even worse - I had a couple bad fits of coughing from a tickle on my throat that made me feel like I was in absolute agony, but the prescribed meds did their job and we were able to get it well under control.

As for the results - I’m beyond delighted with what I’m seeing so far! So delighted, in fact, that when my husband showed me the pic of me on the operating table after the work was done, I cried with happiness. I had a lot done and it’s going to take time to see the full results, but so far I’m loving it! I was worried a fat transfer to my breast wouldn’t get me the fullness of was looking for, but right now my breasts look perfect! As the swelling goes down, I’ll post more updates but right now, I love my results and am beyond thrilled I chose Dr. Reuben as my surgeon!

Pre-Op Done and 2 Weeks to Go!

I had my pre-op appointment this week, and I am still so glad I chose 22 Plastic Surgery for my procedures! Everyone I encountered is beyond kind and welcoming, and they make you feel right at home.

My appointment was with Cassie, who was just so personable and knowledgeable! We clicked immediately and that made the appointment both valuable and fun. She was very thorough in explaining what I should expect, and very thorough in answering all of the questions from my husband and me. We never felt rushed throughout the appointment, and Cassie made sure to ask repeatedly what other questions we had so nothing was left unanswered. She was also clear that if I did have other questions or needed something else that I could reach out anytime, either before or after surgery.

I left the appointment feeling like I knew what to expect and that I was going to have all the support I need to have a positive surgical experience. My prescriptions were called in by the time I got home and ready for pick up, Cassie shared additional information as promised via the app, I have the supplies recommended during my appointment, and now just counting down the days until my surgery!
