I Want more Plastics BUT wound breakdown issues in the past...

Are valid reason for my PS to be super concerned.
However, I do not smoke nor do I have diabetes (HbA1C was 3.8!) and protein was great and even my zinc is eight ip there at 183 (range is 50-150).
I like my PS and understand his concerns bit I do eventually heal after a long time.
I have consulted with another PS in a different hospital and she spoke with my PS *****commends for me not to have sny more procedures.
I am never going to look like a Barbie/Twiggy! My body frame is wide. I just want to look better than I do now.
My butt feels like a rubber tire around it and my inner thighs are bothersome for daily toileting without talking if I were to have sex. And there is the side blubber from the boobs under the arm pits that my PS was supposed to remove but due to his concerns,he didn't.
Am I crazy that I still want more Plastics?
I can only have more plastics if my HMO will cover it but first I need a doctor willing to operate on me.
Any thoughts from y'all ?

As long as you and the surgeon understand your healing issues and are willing to deal with them, I say move forward with what work you want done.  I would just prioritize those things that bother you the most and get those done first.  Perhaps at some point, you decide that additional work isn't worth the suffering to get done but certainly those things that are the most problematic are worth it.  You may decide to proceed cautiously, perhaps only doing one procedure at a time to limit the number of issues you are dealing with.  While the surgeon has issues to deal with, it is mainly you that have to suffer through the long recuperation and as long as you both realize and accept that, I say move forward.  I don't have nearly the recovery issues that you have, but certainly my ability to bounce back is a factor in helping me decide if I want to go further.
