Welcome and Pre-Op Information

Welcome

This blog is for friends, family and random surgical-watching freaks that want to follow the process of my December 20 abdominoplasty and breast augmentation.  I'll post photos and comment on the surgical process, healing, discomfort levels and similar to help others that may decide to have this or other surgeries. 

Thank you all for your clever observation of my dysmorphia.  While my appreciation for your intelligence is vast enough for you to have the access credentials for this page, the value of comments on dysmorphia is kind of slim.  Thank you for your understanding.  Anyone that doesn't understand is kindly asked to visit http://illwillpress.com/, Squirrel Songs Volume I to develop the right degree of mental flexibility.  "Nothing you can do about it."  Thank you.

The surgery takes place at 8:00 a.m. on Monday December 20.  It will take about 6 hours (I KNOW!!! Same duration as brain surgery, yet so much more important).  I will BBM or e-mail those of you that have asked for notification when I'm awake again, probably an hour or more after the surgery.

I go home the same day, loaded up with oxycontin and a range of other drugs, and the healing process can begin.  I will be mobile from the end of week 1 and able to return to normal exercise and all that at approximately 6 weeks.  (If it really takes that long I will probably kill myself).

BE FOREWARNED.  IF YOU VISIT THIS PAGE AND ACCESS PHOTOGRAPHS, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ANY PHOTOS FROM DAY 1 - 12 WILL:

A) INVOLVE SURGICAL DRAINS
B) INVOLVE SUTURES AND SURGICAL TAPES
C) DISPLAY CONSIDERABLE SWELLING - WHILE THE SKIN RESULTS MAY BE INDICATIVE OF FINAL RESULTS, SURGICAL SWELLING IS CONSIDERABLE AND IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
D) POTENTIALLY BE KIND OF BLOODY AND GORY

THEREFORE, DONT LOOK IF YOU AREN'T UP FOR THE IMMEDIATE POST-OP PHOTOS, WAIT FOR WEEK 2 OR 3 TO START LOOKING AT PICTURES

This will be my first cosmetic surgery, of what I expect will be many.  There are just so many fabulous things to have.  Liposuction for example...who wouldn't want that.  Face lifts, eye lifts, ass implants, leg lengthening (except for the annoying pain and bone weakening aspects).  You know you want these too, you just haven't admitted it yet.  This is your safe secret place to yearn for plastic surgery with me.

Love,

CVK
