Re: DIEP Flap Peeps/surgery/questions as usual
He said aesthetically pleasing and he would do nothing with my right breast!! He is a perfectionist, so I think he is really wanting to match my left one the one he created......He likes his creation and the natural one is pretty good. He said I could do just a little lift if I wanted but he did not think I need too.
I am going to try and sweet talk him before I go in......And say you know you have that lipo machine out can you just go ahead and lipo a little on the back of my legs too!!! I mean I have went through and awful lot to get to this final surgery!!! bwahahahaa
