The Surgeon Wears Prada

Today I went for my post-op check up with Dr Dahlia Sataloff who had to snip a few stitches which did not melt like the rest of them. I still have some aches and pains and have to wear a bra, even to bed, to keep the soreness at bay, but considering I had surgery 9 days ago, the pain is not bad. She gave me an okay to do all activities, even my strengthening exercises! So back to Vertex Fitness for me!!

The text results are good and the stitches are beautiful! I knew I was in good hands. She is a fabulous surgeon who has a great aesthetic sensibility. She made the incision in an unobtrusive place in a horizontal position so that is is almost invisible. Would a man have done the same? Who knows? I  just knew when I saw her, dressed so well, and a woman, that she would care what it looked like… and I was right.

Of course a successful outcome is my number one concern but I am glad to have it with the minimum of bodily change. I am not sure that is every surgeon’s hope as well. A good rule of thumb might be to see how well your surgeon dresses. It worked for me.
