Today couldn’t get any better

May 14th.

2pm appointment with the plastic surgeon David Floyd.

Woke up if the truth be told rather apprehenisve worrying that when I wake from my op I have wonky, hollow or uneven boobs.  Well, after meeting David Floyd what a waste of time that worry was.  Absolutely charming man, very experienced, Good looking for those who want to know and very reassuring.

My friend Sarah came with me to take notes, ask any relevant questions i missed and take a look at implants.  All very interesting.  Something i never thought i would have to do.

After looking at my boobs, photos and measurements taken the discussion turned to what sort of reconstruction?

Option 1 a tummy tuck which involves taking a large chunk of my tummy dividing it in two and using it to create 2 boobs.  Really????  I would have little ones, after going to Weight Watches there is not really enough to create decent sized boobs and do i really want my tummy up to my chin?  You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear!  It is also a 12 hour op, NO thanks.

The second option was implants.  Nice symmetrical, know what I’m getting boobs, i get to choose the size, they will never sag and the op is more like 5 hours.  Yes please.  He showed us plenty of before and after photos all of which were amazing.   I know it is a strange thing to say in the circumstances but I am rather excited at the thought of what I am getting  (Once the nipple is tattooed on you would barely know what had been going on.)  Yes Tattooed on, amazing what they can do.  No more nipples showing or nipple tap.

As we left David Floyd said ” One more appointment less to do.”  So true, last one is on Wednesday and then i should know my operation date.  Bring it  on!  I’m ready for this battle.

  4. We watch a show on TV about Plastic Surgery (yes I admit it reality TV, but I don’t like cooking shows!) and saw the tattooed nipples – they were amazing and looked brilliant. Love from all of us. Go Girl!
