Lisa’s Blog: I’m a little nervous!
February 26th, 2010
Here are some of my thoughts on my upcoming Rhinoplasty surgery. As I mentioned already, after considering surgery on my nose for the past 10 years, I am really excited that the time is drawing nearer!
I’ve been busy preparing for surgery over the past month or so. I was instructed to see my internal medicine doctor 2 weeks before the procedure.
I needed to make sure I was healthy and up-to-date on all my blood work. I felt really good after my appointment, having the support of my doctor to have the surgery.

The Four Basic Steps in Plastic Surgery- #4

Ice golf anyone! "Chilly Open" on Lake Minnetonka.
Step 4: Wound Closure.
The final step is suturing (sewing) the skin and deeper tissues back together, also known as wound closure or tissue approximation. How well this is done will determine the physical appearance of the scar. Underlying tissues (muscle, fat, breast tissue) must be brought back together beneath the skin. If not, the scar will look depressed or puckered when compared to the surrounding skin. The underlying fat, muscle, and/or breast tissue must support the skin at the proper level. In the most extreme instances, the skin can actually heal to the underlying muscle resulting in a severely depressed scar that moves unnaturally with muscle contraction.
