Topic: Eye/Brow Surgery Results (one month pic)

So I've had a hard time seeing that there is much of a difference. However my eyes have been much more sun sensitive and I guess that is because my eyes are open wider. Here is a before after comparison I did so I could see the difference (I did see it here):

You look fantastic!! I hope my results are as good! I didn't have the breast lift done, somehow my boobs are fairly unscathed.

Topic: Skin removal and lipo

I am 11.5 years out from RNY. Lost 100 lbs, did the bounce back 20 thing through menopause. Had lipo and skin removal on my abdomen yesterday. Honestly...a piece of cake. I was back at work today at my desk. So far I'm thrilled! Apparently when the surgeon showed me the huge containers of fat they sucked out and the giant chunk of skin/flesh I sad it looked like something we needed to put in the crock pot with carrots, onions and celery. LOL!!! I was out of it I guess!

Topic: RE: Boobie Revision Tomorrow!

I had the same issue with "taking it easy" after my mastopexy and UBL. I was so wrecked after my LBL and brachioplasty that I felt GREAT after the second surgery!

Topic: RE: Boobie Revision Tomorrow!

It's over and went really well. My follow up is on Tuesday - which is also when I'm going back to work so I'm hoping I'll feel better by then. Pain is manageable. Mostly just a lot of burning.

We ended up going with 485ccs in each breast, but unfortunately, going through the nipple again couldn't be avoided. I'm really hoping things settle just as they should.

One thing I have to note is that it's harder to take things easy with having JUST the breast work. With my previous surgery, since I was also basically immobile from the tummy tuck, it was much easier to take it easy so I wasn't remotely in a position where I'd be lifting anything or being too active. Now, I'm really trying to be super cautious because I am more free in my movements and want to ensure I don't screw anything up!
