See You In 3-6 months..

31 May

I’ve just had my second follow-up appointment since the last op 12 days ago.

Andrea ever-so-professionally changed the dressings as we waited for Dr D to arrive.

I haven’t mentioned this on the blog yet as I’ve been trying to ignore it, but there’s a bit of rippling at the top of my left side, towards the centre. To me, it’s obvious. Today – it was to Dr D as well.

Again, he was visibly disappointed and admitted to being so. I am a bit too, but know now that’s he’s done everything he can to get these ‘boobs’ looking as good as possible. While there’s nothing that can be done surgically, he suggested that if it’s still obvious in a year or so I might consider going to see a Plastic Surgeon to talk about having some sort of filler injected.

We reasoned that this surgery was still worth it though – he’s achieved two of the main objectives; positioning the implants in closer thus giving me a bit of my body shape (as far as my torso goes) back, and making that big line across the top of my left side less visible.

So, after discussing pain relief, wound dressings, the big bra, driving, swimming etc. it came time to set the next appointment. I won’t go back for 3-6 months.

Heading back out into the world again (and slipping past a waiting room full of patients), my attempts to say thank you for all of his efforts and the girls for theirs just didn’t seem enough!

Definitely a few bottles of red owed I think.
