Hi everyone:
So, I just had surgery yesterday. Before I go into details let me mention what I've had done in the past. Firstly, I had rhinoplasty and breast implants in 2007. Next I had FFS in 2012 And thirdly I had SRS in 2015.
I was pretty content and passible but I wanted a more feminine figure and there were some things I was not happy with on my face. I had a combination of hip implants and fat grafting to my hips. The fat came from my abdomen, love handles, and back. OMG I haven't seen myself naked yet but wow, the results are everything. Even though I had a big butt, my hips were narrow and shoulders broad. Now I have an hour glass shape. Its amazing. I am so happy.
I also decided to add a small chin implant to triangulate my face as it was too round. I had liposuction to my neck and under chin, had scar revision and another mini lip lift. Next week I will be getting injections to my cheeks laterally.
It's all looking awesome so far. I think after this I will feel complete. I came to Canada for surgery. If you have any questions, ask away. I know hip implants aren't as common. I know I found very limited info out there and very few surgeons do this type of surgery.
Quick update:
So, I feel no pain on my face nor abdomen area. However, it is quite difficult to walk due to the hip implants and it is a bit painful when the percocet wears off. I use a walker to help maneuver myself around and luckily I have a relative here with me to hep as well.
Congratulations Jen; I'm glad you are doing well, and hopefully you will be able to walk without assistance soon. And if you don't mind sharing, who did your surgery?

Thank you! I hope so too. My first post-op appointment with him is on Monday. Dr. Marc DuPéré from the Visage Clinic did my surgery. He is a wonderful artist who listens to you and only recommends what he really feels you need. I also love his bedside manner, very kind and gentle and has a great sense of humor.
Today is postop day 3. Yesterday has been the worse so far. Very difficult for me to reposition myself, much less walk. I have to use a walker for assistance. Today I'm a little better. I'm a little quicker yet im very swollen all over.
I would post before/after pic but don't know how. What would be the easiest way?
You have to upload your pictures to a site like photobucket, and then paste the image link into the body of your message here at Susan's.
If you use the following format minus the space, it will display the image in the post.
