Guest guest Posted November 30, 2002 Report Share Posted November 30, 2002 Hi All- Just wanted to let you know I had a quickie touch up on Monday and am doing well. The plastic surgeon went in and did a a scar revision and touch up on the lateral chest/armpit. He spent almost 3 hours cleaning up the dog ears he left in August as well as extending to scars to take care of the excess skin on the lateral rib cage. My scars now wrap around to my back about 3 inches (but I'd rather have the scars than the flaps). It still hurts to lift my arms above my head or go without a bra, but I'm pretty much off the pain meds. I'll go back to work on Monday. He also did a little bit of lipo on the right breast to even them out. My pics are posted on my website at http://spacecdtjan.tripod.com The latest set was taken about 4 days before the last surgery (12 weeks post-op from round 1). As much as I'd love to start the process on my legs, I'm done for a while. Surgeried out... Besides, from the sounds of it, he wants to make my legs a long term project (2 surgeries 6-8 months apart, with a 6 week recovery for each surgery) and I'm not ready to give up that much of my life (it's ski season after all....). He'd also like me to lose another 25 lbs before we tackle the legs.... That part is still in negociation. Hope everyone is having a good holiday. Cheers, jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2002 Report Share Posted November 30, 2002 Jan, Glad you got the touch ups. You and others that have had PS are so brave. I am such a wimp. After the original RNY, a revision and then TWO knee replacements........I am just NOT willing to put myself through any more pain. I would LOVE to have a lower body lift, but am just so queezy about the whole thing. I don't think just a regular tummy tuck would do it. The thighs and butt really need help too. {{{SIGH}}}} I read about everyone's adventures in plastics........and still almost 4 years out....I am just not ready.
