The Pre-Op Consult... :o)

Hello, hello!!!

I had my pre-op consult yesterday afternoon!!! :o)


Well, right now I am curled up on the lounge in our apartment on the Gold Coast with my laptop.  We are staying at The Meriton Serviced Apartments at Broadbeach.  I have to say, they are VERY nice apartments.  We will definitely have to bring our kids here on our next Gold Coast holiday because there is a statue of a Pegasus in the gardens here and one of my daughters is absolutely obsessed with anything horse, unicorn, or pegasus, lol... We took a photo of it but she would LOVE to see it herself, and the apartments are perfect for a family.  Big balconies, full kitchen, separate bedrooms etc and beautiful modern decorating.  We are on the 17th floor directly across the road from Jupiters Casino and the view at night is lovely :o)

Anyway, my husband and I have had a HUGE few days, especially yesterday...

So Friday morning (yesterday), my husband and I had driven the 3 hours to his Mum's house to drop the girls off, and then another hour and a half to the airport where we left our car and then hopped on a plane and flew to Brisbane.  Once at Brisbane, we picked up a hire car and drove the hour and a half or so that it is to the Gold Coast, ready for my 3:30 appointment with Dr Ces Colagrande :o)

Anyway, we rushed all day and once we got to the Gold Coast we went and found Dr Ces' clinic at Mermaid Beach first, to make sure we knew where it was, but it was super easy to find and we ended up arriving there really, really early (after all that travelling and rushing throughout the day, haha!!).  So we noticed there was a Sizzler practically across the road from his clinic and we hadn't eaten all day so we decided to go and have lunch there.  Now, I have to say, it was the first time we'd ever been to Sizzler without the 3 kids, so it felt really odd to us being there just us two!  Haha!!  We felt funny all day yesterday to tell the truth, even when we left my husband's Mum's house and looked in the empty backseat.  No kids sitting there?  What the??  This is weird, hahaha!!!  Anyway, when we got to Sizzler and I thought about the fact that Dr Ces clinic was literally about 100 metres away, I starting to get really nervous and couldn't eat much at all, lol... I ate a little bit and had 2 coffees instead because I was so tired, haha!!  Anyway, after lunch, the time finally came and we went to his clinic for my pre-op consult!!!! :o)

First of all, his clinic is IMMACULATE!!  It's so beautifully decorated, just stunning!  It's all the colours I love and such a contemporary, stylish, modern, elegant and professional look.  We waited about 20 minutes (because we arrived early) and then Dr Ces came out to greet us and took us into his huge office.  As soon as he said hello and shook our hands and chatted a little with us, my husband and I instantly liked him.  He has this ability to connect with anyone regardless of personality I think, and you can't help but like him, his personality is so warm, friendly, kind and professional.

So we walk into his office, and this is when my nerves completely kicked in and I literally could feel my tummy flipping (I'm actually doing this O.M.G!!!  Hahaha!!!).  Dr Ces chatted away with us, explaining everything, answering questions, had a little laugh and joke with us, he was just lovely.  When I had my top off so he could do all his measurements I had to wonder if he could notice me shaking, like my body was actually quivering I was that nervous!  Hahaha!!!  Plus I am VERY body conscious (thank you kiddies!!! LOL!!!) so I felt really self conscious standing in front of this incredibly fit and good looking man with my flabby white as a ghost belly!  Hahaha!!! ;o)  Yes I admit he's totally good looking, but hey?  Wouldn't you want your plastic surgeon to be good looking?  Shows they have pride in looking good and therefore know what would look good on their patients when operating :o)

Anyway, he was very thorough, he took his time taking measurements and talked me through things as he went along.  He decided he would need to lower my breast fold by 1cm because if he put the implants in where my breasts sit naturally now, they would sit too high on my chest and look silly, so basically he is going to make me a new breast crease and my old breast crease will smooth out over the implant.  It scared me a little bit the thought of it, but on my way back to the hotel afterward I said to my husband that I was SO glad I decided to go to Dr Ces, because someone cheaper or less professional might have just chucked the implants in and not cared about the breast crease, I could have ended up with awkward looking boobs on my chest.  All I could think last night was 'thank goodness, I am SO glad I am having this done by him".

By the end of the consult Dr Ces decided that I would need 380cc instead of the 425's he originally thought, because I have a little more breast tissue then what he could see from my photos I'd sent him beforehand.  Also, just high profile implants instead of extra high (it's only 6mm difference anyway).  He said the 425's would look too big and because he has to lower my breast crease he doesn't want my breasts to be too large and therefore too heavy, where I could end up with a double crease (TWO breast creases) because of the weight of my implants!!  Definitely wouldn't want that to happen, so even though I felt a bit "awwwww, that sux" about not having the 425's and having to go smaller, I completely trust him and know that he will decide what is best for me.   I went in there having NO idea what size (350, 380, 430cc, who knows really??) so I told him I would go with what he recommends.  So the 380's is what he recommended and that's what I am going with! :o)

So now I am getting instead:

380cc High Profile Round Dual Placement Brazilians

Well, there you go.  I am getting my breasts done in TWO days!!  I'm not feeling nervous or anything right now, just excited, and honestly I feel like Monday is going to take FOREVER to get here, hahaha!!!

Well, I'll write again when I'm a lady with BOOBIES!!!!!  Have I said SQUEEEEELLL much throughout this?? ;o)  LOL!!!

Sil xoxo
