Have you heard about the New York Daily News article that claims Botox injections may cause muscle loss?

Not to worry, says board-certified plastic surgeon Paul Wigoda MD. In a video on his YouTube Channel, Dr. Wigoda dispels the rumors, saying, “I’ve been [administering Botox] for 11 or 12 years; I have hundreds of patients who are very happy. I’ve never experienced a patient come in with muscle atrophy in their face because we did Botox.”

Painless breast implants diaries check in two months later. So it’s been two months since I went “under the knife” for the first time in my life! The good news: It was painless! I guess that’s why Dr. Wigoda calls it painless breast implants! And for the bad news…I don’t have any. I guess if I had to come up with some bad news, it’s that none of my old bras fit.

I just looked back at some of my before and after pictures to see if I miss the old me. I decided to do a Google search (because that’s what I do!) for celebrity before and after boob jobs to see the good, the bad and the ugly.

After comparing my before and after breast surgery by Dr. Paul Wigoda, I am even more impressed and happy. I feel really bad for Tory Spelling and Tara Reid! But Demi Moore and Christina Aguilera made out pretty good! Kind of like me!

I am settling in to my new body. I did yoga for the first time since my painless breast implant surgery. I pushed myself too far, thinking I could just pick up where I left off two months ago, this month and pulled a muscle, but that lasted about a week. My breast implants are “dropping” into place and so is my life ironically! Maybe this is what I needed all along. They say sometimes you feel good and everything falls into place! I think Dr. Wigoda’s painless breast implant results stack up pretty good to Demi Moore and Christina Aguilera.

Last week, the popular E! reality TV show Command PR’s CEO Jonathan Cheban received Zeltiq liposuction.

Zeltiq liposuction, according to the Wall Street Journal, freezes the fat cells inside love handles and belly pouches, causing them to self-destruct over a period of time.

So how does Dr. Paul Wigoda feel about this expensive new lipo procedure? See the video for my thoughts on Zeltiq versus traditional liposuction.

Me less than a month after Painless Breast Implant Surgery

You would never guess I had breast augmentation surgery one month ago if you looked at my schedule. I’ve been to Jupiter, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Virginia Beach, North Carolina’s Outer Banks, Chicago and San Francisco. Two concerts, a 4-day business conference and I started running on the treadmill last week.

My scars are barely noticeable and I feel like my new additions have always been part of my body. My implants are still sitting a little high on my chest, but they have dropped a little each day, so I think I am on track for the two to three months for overall results.

To Massage or not to Massage after Breast Implants?
When I run into girls who have breast implants and we share the common bond, everyone tells me to massage my breasts for best breast results. So that’s what I have been doing, and it helps!

I’ve been drinking lots of water and exercising more too.

What has changed since my painless breast implant surgery with Dr. Wigoda?

My bra size! I’m still wearing the sports bras and found the best selection at Sears and some sexy bandeau style bras without underwire by Calvin Klein at Macys.

My bra from Sears

My shirts, tops, blouses and pajama tops don’t fit the same: some fit better than others so I have had to start over with new stuff. Great excuse to go shopping, especially online on sites like Taigan.com. They are just a click away.

I wore a bikini top for the first time this weekend, which was exciting and invigorating. Confidence booster 100%.

What do you tell the kids about breast implants?
I was nervous what my eight-year-old daughter would think or say. But it was actually pretty easy. She did notice, but when she asked “why are mommy’s boobs bigger and what are those little cuts,” I told her it was like when girls get a different hair color or hair cut – sometimes, they might want a different boob size, bigger or smaller. She said, “Ohhhhhh!”
That was easy…and true!

So I had my painless breast implant surgery last Friday, took the weekend to rest and recover, by Monday I was back at work full force and more.

Can you believe it's only been 7 days?

I went for my follow-up visit with Dr. Wigoda Monday morning for a clear check up. Then a three-hour drive back to my new hometown of Celebration, Florida, so no painkillers or muscle relaxers for Lisa in the driver’s seat.  I did fine and really did not need them!

I also found out I have no stitches to remove, they dissolve! Wow, pretty cool and an added bonus, thanks Dr. Wigoda!

The first week my “new additions” seem to be settling into my body, but it s still a little weird looking in the mirror. Getting dressed each day is a challenge only because nothing fits the same and I’m not fashionably prepared with all the style necessities.

Some tips

1. Sports Bra – pre-surgery! – Go to a Sears or Target and buy a whole bunch of sports bras in all colors and styles. Sears had the best selection (believe it or not) and let me just clarify; I have not shopped at Sears for anything but electronics since I was in 7th grade. But I must admit, they had cool stuff and the price and selection were a definite plus.
2. T-shirts (James Perse, Spendid, Vixon) that are comfy and form fitting – this has been my most worn item; a cool crew neck form fitting T with a good sports bra. So while I am swollen, I still feel good and underexposed but flattering to my new shape
3. Juicy Couture – type track jackets – these work well and help support you through the first couple weeks of transition.
4. Go get a facial the first week– it made me feel even better, like a new you is starting and you are cleansing for a new beginning!
5. Stay as active as you were – I started back on the treadmill one week after surgery, slowly but at least getting that mental and physical stimulation

I wouldn’t say to exactly follow my lead; I think I over did it. We left for a family vacation on Thursday (6 days after surgery) and carrying luggage and weaving through an airport is probably pushing it.

I went to the gym and did the treadmill, walked slowly and did some abs! Not bad for one week later!

I will be spending the next few days on the beach in Hatterass North Carolina – a little premature 7 days after Dr. Wigoda’s painless breast implant surgery, but here I am writing this post.

Up at 8:30am feeling like a new person, just two days after my painless breast implant surgery. I’m thinking why didn’t I do this five years ago? I know why…life is busy and I was afraid of the downtime, little did I know it is actually a treat to be forced to be in bed and relax!

This weekend was turning into a much-needed R&R retreat in addition to getting my new breast update version 2.0.

Watched an old rerun of Disclosure with Michael Douglas and Demi Moore – she definitely had some breast implants for that movie! Don went to the gym, came back and picked me up for a quick lunch at Guanabana, to hang out on the boat for some fresh air.

Looking in the mirror I feel a like my implants are sitting high and swollen, but from what I hear and read that is totally normal. I have not been able to look at myself in the mirror naked, it seems weird. Laying here now with a bag of frozen peas on each breast for swelling. Tomorrow morning is first day back at work and my check up with Dr. Wigoda. Don headed back to Orlando, so I am solo tonight. I realize as I write this how much I spent relaxing and also…shopping. I bought into a Cindy Crawford skin care infomercial, some back to school hair ties for Kennedy from Maxwell Aesthetics on Taigan.com and a pair of Steve Madden boots for my next conference. All from the comfort of my bed!

Day After My Painless Breast Implants at Apple Genius Bar

Waking up the day after breast implant surgery I did not expect to be pain free, but I was… (and just a little swollen). Slept in until 11:00 am, what a treat! Starbucks was the first request, I must be getting better. I just lounged in bed working and playing on my Mac. Making reservations, changing addresses, deleting old pictures and enjoying a day with nothing on my agenda except: relax… Dr. Wigoda’s orders after painless breast implant surgery!

I did not need to take any pain pills all day until around 5:00pm, started feeling a little pulling and tightening, very minor.

Don came home from the gym and felt like venturing out to the Apple store for a quick visit to the genius bar. I called Dr. Wigoda and he said as long as I was up to it and not driving, no problem.

So I took a light shower and decided not to blow-dry my hair, I would get my hair blown out at the mall at Regis, a cheap treat. Made me feel human again.

Visited with Apple store genius bar and then off to a quick bite at Seasons 52. Back home lounging again and watching Saturday Night Live happy to not have an agenda for tomorrow again!
