...........has left me feeling a little deflated; our meeting lasted less than 5 minutes and was, largely, an opportunity for Mr Russo to admire his work. If I had known what the appointment would entail I certainly would not have rushed away from the conference I was speaking at this morning to attend it.
I have not got a date for my second surgery as I had hoped. That surgery will not be scheduled for a number of months. At my initial consultation I definitely heard Mr Russo say that he would be willing to perform the second operation as little as six weeks after the first. I am not sure if I misheard or simply misunderstood but today he was talking in terms of
6 months, not
weeks.
On the plus side Mr Russo is totally thrilled with the results thus far and is very happy with the way I am healing.
When I arrived at the clinic I was taken straight in to see Mr Russo. He gave me a hug and kisses on each cheek hello, and asked if he could have a look at my breasts. I, of course, said he could and I removed my top and bra. He looked simply delighted with his 'work' and said the result could not have been better. He had a bit of a squeeze and prod and then took some photos for his records.
I asked about the potential timing of the second op and he said for me to come back and see him in early January and that, if the scars were well enough healed, we would schedule for late January.
He said he was now certain doing the procedure in two stages was definitely the right decision for me and that the scarring will be minimal and my final result will be "just lovely".
He scrunched my right breast -
ouchie - to push the tissue upwards and said the implants would give me that look and asked if that was what I was hoping for. I agreed that it was.
I got dressed and asked if he would be willing to meet with me in early December and discuss the possibility of surgery later that month. I explained that December is a quiet month for my business and scheduling surgery and time to recover will be much easier than in January. He agreed and said he would have to see how my scars are healing at that point but that he would certainly consider it.
He again said how pleased he was with the way I am healing :)
He said I can bathe and swim and do anything else I have been avoiding (I can't think what he is referring to!)
To be honest the way Mr Russo handled my boobies today has given me a lot of confidence to let hubby have free reign with them. Hubby would
never be so rough with my breasts and if my surgeon is happy to handle them without concern of causing damage/harm I don't think there is any reason to treat them as if they are made of glass any longer :D.
