this is the face i make when i have to show my incredibly handsome surgeon my thighs.
i had the singular pleasure of showing my foobs and backside to not one, but three lucky souls at dr. bates' office yesterday. it's science, okay?
the nurse practitioner went over what to expect: three-ish hours of surgery with an hour of recovery in the surgicenter, pain meds & antibiotics, compression garments for six weeks at the lipo sites, blah blah blah. the lipo is gonna bruise and hurt like i've been hit with a bat. a tech took pictures of my breasts and butt & thighs. i'll have parker do the same so there are some good before and after photos for here.
dr. bates and i finalized what i'd like my end result to look like (more projection with less armpit boob) and feel like (vaguely human). he's using a brand new (yeah, i'm oh for one on the new and best boobs but whatever) cohesive, extra full implant by allergan, the natrelle inspira. (i forgot to ask how many cc these will be - the current ones are 400cc.) the fat will be grafted from my thighs. namely under my butt and between my legs (he was expressly warned not to touch the butt) and will be put all around the implant so soften everything a bit. i'm not gonna lie, this feels like a windfall. more lifelike foob, more shapely legs AND i get to stick it to my insurance? gosh, i'd trade my nipples for that.
anyway, i'm expecting the recovery to be a week or so but i'll of course be documenting the whole thing, under the influence of narcotics, if you're lucky!
the Allergan SCX - debuted January 2017. not so "natrelle" looking on a platter!
