I know how you feel but as soon as you get into your gown it moves pretty quickly. Waiting is hard, your mind just races away.   I found that deep and regular breathing helped.  Then you are in the theatre and the rest is easy.   Very relaxing.  Then it's all done and the next chapter begins.

It will go brilliantly and my thoughts are with you

Safe travels

Wishing you a quick recovery and the very best outcome! 

Good luck! Keep us posted! x

bonne chance Diable! Je vous souhaite un prompt rétablissement

All the best wishes! - J

thank you everybody for the warm wishes

well I am 2 days postop recuperating at Serenity in Santa Monica. my surgery to repair all the past surgeries I had in Peru went well but was very long because as per Dr Lee, it wasnt pretty what they did overthere, the surgery Dr Lee performed 2 days ago took 8 hours he was amazing, I can see the results will be amazing, I am swollen like crazy but I am much better than yesterday.


I have post op pictures not pretty but I dont mind, can somebody let me know how to post picture?

thanks

Just upload it to any site you feel comfortable and post the links in the topic

How is Serenity?  I'm supposed to stay there after my surgery later this month with Dr Mayer.  I'm just curious.  Glad to hear everything went well for you and hope you recover quick!

Usually you just upload images to flickr or something and then just link to them with the image bbcode tag.

ok I will try even though Im still not 100%

serenety is great especially a nurse called Stacy, I think she's the head nurse she was an angel

Hey!

You hang in there.  Recovery can't come fast enough but if you see improvement already, you're goin to be wonderful.

Hugs,

Jen

I used photo bucket for pics on here, you could try that or Flickr as mentioned. Hope your recovery continues to go well!

It worked!

Sending you hugs and warm wishes here in LA just east of Culver City!

Heal up soon and can't wait to see the results

WOW! loving ittttttt!!

Plus why is there so many stitches around your nostrils? I didn't have these... is it because they reduced your tip, or is it because they made your nose wider or.. hmm... I don't know. I'm super curious so ask the doctor please

Hope your healing goes well! And that you are happy with the results once all the swelling and bruising go away.

Oh you poor baby, looks like you're going to survive though and I'm betting that you will be gorgeous. Keep your head elevated, take in lots of liquids. When you're ready and if you feel so inclined, it would be interesting to understand what happened in Peru that brought about the need for this drastic amount of corrective sugary. ((Hugs)) ~Shan~

May you have a speedy recovery!

That looks about right.  I can tell you that you are going to look great although it may be a few weeks.  (I'm at four weeks and am still swollen.)  But every day, you'll look just a little bit better.

Hugs,

Jen

thanks for the kind words

I think the dry blood makes you think there is more stitches around the nose, but yes they did an open revision (to correct all the mistakes done in peru too numerous too explain), and reduced the width plus they did a subnasal lip lift, so I'm guessing for these procedures it does take alot of stitches around the nose.

the other procedures I had done with this is
lower bleph
correction of upper bleph that was done in Peru
VY advancement to lower lip
removal and replacement of cheek implants (cheek implants were not cheek implants they were silicone padding cut out with scissors)
chin and jaw reduction
repair scar of outside chin from last surgery in Peru
reduction of adams apple
temporal lift
face and neck lift
