#77 Pre-op/Post-op

Wow ! Where to begin! The non-cancer side (RT) was reduced/lifted and treated with fat transfer for contouring. The left received fat transfer through two small injections on the flap mound. The healed previous scar was not manipulated.

Scare revisions: The gluteal (buttocks) scar was revised, with fat transfer for contouring. The front diep flap scar was revised, the scar will now sit lower below the umbilicus, and will be tighter. For those of you that have been following my blog, you know that I have a long scar on my back from the latissimus dorsi, surgery in November 2018. My NOLA surgeon asked how that scar felt. I answered honestly,:the scar has been bothersome, sometimes it pulls stopping me in my tracks we talked about revising that scar as well, which he did. It turns out there was a void underneath the scar wear he had me point to at my pre-op appointment.

Seems like a lot, I am not in pain🌸 I did not expect all the scar revisions, however when we talked about it at my pre-op it made sense, especially for the Lat- D scar!

The Lat-D scar is long, starts just below the left shoulder all the way down to below the waist line. I grateful for this facility an all their expertise with breast reconstruction.

The current plan is to discharge me today, I will finish my recovery here in NOLA till next week, we will fly to Cali for a couple of weeks after that. I have always said “ all want is two boobs” I know they will never be twins, I am good with “sisters”

This time it is working 💞🌸Mahalo for reading my blog and continued prayers for Lahaina🏝️ Pina (Josefina)
