Plastic Surgery – Vanity Vs. Self Image

I had my first bit of plastic surgery last Wednesday(31/03/10). I went in for a Mastopexy & Augmentation with a bit of Abdominal Liposuction. 15 Minutes before I went into theatre – my surgeon came into the room to measure me and make all the necessary markings.

He wanted to repair it while in theatre, so they were rushing around for authorization from my medical aid – only to find out, that it takes 48 hours to approve a hernia repair. [more...]
