This morning I was seen at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital burns unit that accepts referrals from all over London, ie it is the only NHS burns unit in London! And yep the consultant burns specialist confirmed I have a full thickness periareolar laser burn. It was debrided, ie the yellow eschars were excised, the yellow discharge swabbed, the burn dressed and I have been booked for surgery on Thursday under local. I am stressed as I am terrified about more surgery and risk to the nipple areola complex blood supply but the consultant said wound cleaning and closure would speed up recovery else I would face months for the open burn wound to heal and a much bigger periareolar scar! Pray for me!

You're going to be fine. Keeping my fingers crossed.

My surgery is tomorrow at the NHS Chelsea and Westminster hospital. I have no idea what it will look like so hoping for the best. I do so want to be done with surgery. I called and there is a bed reserved for me for tomorrow. On the NHS one calls the hospital after 6 pm to make sure you can still have your operation the next day. And I have been told the consultant will do my operation and not a junior doctor after the laser doc rang one of the burns consultants yesterday evening while she was at home! She has no idea how he got her personal number! The laser doc then whatsapped me that he has found out who will do my surgery tomorrow and has spoken to him too! OMG! He is crossing the line interfering with my NHS burns care.
 
Hi Ms Orange
Sorry to hear about your troubles. It’s just appalling! Good luck with your surgery tomorrow.
Thanks @Mimmiesmama! I am in pain at the moment, but at least I won’t need to do daily open wound cleaning and dressings now that it has been debrided and closed. 2 weeks was enough! I found out that laser treatment heals in a few days so this 2 weeks of open wound was not normal.

Yay, the head of the hospital information governance had emailed the surgeons and they got the message.
 
Yesterday was 8 weeks post breast fat transfer. I put a collage of b+a. In both photos I weigh 99.4 lbs! Incredible how breast FT can look like implants and I will never have to deal with ruptures, silent intracapsular rupture, implant recalls as unsafe, implants that can cause cancer in lab rats or in humans, breast implant illness with my own autoimmune system attacking both the implants and my own body or have to pay for exchanges. The us fda has now put a black box warning on all breast implants stating it does not last a lifetime and requires regular scans to check for ruptures. More and more ethical surgeons are now refusing to put in breast implants.

This is the future and breast implants will become obsolete, as breast fat transfer surgeons get better and better worldwide!

For the cost of one set of implants, you get breast FT and free liposuction of any combination of your fatty areas, ie arms, tummy, flanks, thighs and/or knees. I call it a 2 for 1 special!

And I have cracked how to only need one round of fat transfer. Drop your weight before your surgery (go 3-5 lbs below your ideal weight) and then keep it above after. Get a weight tracking app. Here are my Aug-Oct weights. The dip in August is my weight loss prior to surgery on August 22. Your weight at surgery then becomes the ideal target weight (green line) never to go below. Then overeat fats and protein every day to combat post surgical hypermetabolic catabolism of fats. Because you are fighting hypermetabolism you will need to consume a huge amount of calories just to maintain a weight. No exercise for 3 months. Netflix in bed becomes the best activity for fat cell survival.

Another plastic surgery death in a clinic based setting...I am glad I paid more for a hospital and consultant anaesthetist than a clinic with nurse anaesthetist. https://people.com/health/19-year-o...iAJNlbhHK_GSim3hPMttIa1UWYKnzNxFm-eTBCP6Xic6c

I followed this girls story as well, definitely scary :(. Since KR still requiring quarantining time I visited a US doctor to ask about a semi-full body lipo. Think I should do it or wait until KR opens back up again? :/

Hi @cherrykiss a semi full body lipo sounds like a major operation. I would suggest booking in your home country USA. The pain will be immense and Korea only gives tylenol postop. You may wish to have GA with such extensive lipo. And you would need someone at home to help you recover as you may feel battered and bruised for 1-2 weeks.

Yea for me the recovery would be all the same. Just me, myself and I regardless in KR or US haha.

The only thing is, I feel like KR does so many more operations on a daily basis and they seem to take out more fat (aesthetically in KR it's more acceptable).

Here I talked with an KR US doc who I've gone to in the past - for an eyelid revision and other touchups. The GA part definitely does freak me out however, especially after reading the article :(. I haven't done any surgeries in awhile that required GA but it would be required for this op so it's a bit nerve wrecking. :-s

Difficult call @cherrykiss. Yes it seems Korea takes a lot more fat out than the US or is it that the Instagram after photos are photoshopped to appear much more is taken out? Always find real past patients and ask for their photos directly. The risk is IV sedation with no resuscitation equipment if things go wrong. The more areas that are liposuctioned, the more the blood loss. Hypovolaemic shock is a risk with multiple area extensive liposuction. For extensive lipo, I would advise GA in a fully equipped hospital for safety reasons.
 
10 weeks and 5 days post breast fat transfer and still retaining. I am over my hypermetabolic postop surgical phase as I am finding it a lot easier to gain weight! Aargh! Still able to wear a 32e cup bra. I have just 1 week and 2 days left of this high fat, high protein diet. I found out the star patient of David’s, who retained all, continued her high fat diet for 5 months postop for permanency. With the U.K. back in lockdown, I shall have no choice but to eat all day so maybe I shall carry on with this diet until after lockdown.

With such good fat retention, I think we can give fat transfer a thumbs up as a viable and safer alternative to breast implants. And I never have to worry about implant rupture or recall! Yay!

@Mazikeen, the breasts are now all sorted. The skin on my upper inner left thigh is still a bit loose. The right side is fine. I am just going to accept this imperfection until it sags more with ageing as there is no chance of a sun holiday until next summer at the earliest. My concern is any surgical inner crescent thigh lift scar may sag below the bikini line and be visible. I think I need to start exercising but still can’t get motivated in my 50s! Lol. Always hated PE classes and still do! Lol.
