Lisa’s Blog: Intro
February 25th, 2010
Hi, I’m Lisa and I have been considering Rhinoplasty (nose job) for the past 10 years and have finally decided – it’s time to do it!
It was an easy decision to choose Dr. Bashioum as my plastic surgeon because I am a previous patient. I had breast augmentation 14 years ago and have been extremely pleased with those results.
My experience with both his medical and office staff were all very positive. During that time, I always felt that I was taken care of through each stage of the surgical process. I have no doubt that this particular surgery will be any different.
Please check back to follow my story and see film clips of my surgery.
Leah’s Blog: First night home after surgery
February 16th, 2010
Night after my Tummy Tuck. Wow! What an experience. The people at Dr. Bashioum’s are so great. Everyone was so welcoming and made me feel SO relaxed. They went over EVERYTHING and made sure I understood what was going to happen during surgery. I felt so comfortable and confident going into the operating room. I don’t remember anything after lying on the operating table.
The next thing I remember was getting into the car after the surgery. Jackie, my nurse, kept telling how great I was doing. That felt comforting. Maybe she says that to everyone, but it really helped me mentally prepare as I was heading home. I started pain medication right away, since I don’t want to have any pain if I don’t have to. When I got home, everyone was waiting for me! My family is so fabulous; they had cards ready for me, my husband made me dinner and they all made sure I was well taken care of. My mind was a little foggy at first, but got better throughout the evening. So much better that we even played a game of Scrabble before the kids went to bed. No nausea, no major pain (just the usual) and just a little bleeding. I was very tired at bedtime and I slept really well. I only woke up (several times) when I had to go to the bathroom. I know water really helps in the recovery, but man, I have never had to pee so much! Ha.
Check back tomorrow to follow the story of my recovery.
