Kutshanje ndigqibe ekubeni ndifumane i-quadruple blepharoplasty, into ethetha ukuba ndiza kufunxa amanqatha phantsi kwamehlo omabini kwaye ndikhuphe ulusu kunye namafutha kwindawo ekrobileyo yeenkophe zombini. Ezo zipokotho zityebileyo bezindinika iminyaka emininzi-ndiziva ngathi ziyandenza ndibonakale ndidiniwe kwaye ndimdala-kwaye ndifuna ukuba zihambe! Iimbombo zam eziphezulu zazingeyongxaki, kodwa ndiye ndabona ezinye zisiya apho kwaye ndiyabona ukuba oku kuya kubagcina bekhangeleka belungile eminye iminyaka eli-10 okanye njalo. Ndikhethe ukuba kwenziwe le nkqubo ngugqirha wotyando weplastikhi uPaul Lorenc, MD, obesebenza kwisiXeko saseNew York ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-20 kwaye owaziwa kakhulu nohlonitshwayo. Ngethuba lokubonisana kwam okokuqala, ndaziva ndikhululekile kunye naye kunye nabasebenzi bakhe. Andinayo iota enye yamathandabuzo malunga naye-okanye amandla abo okundikhathalela.

Oyena "mkhulu" ekuthatheni isigqibo sokufumana le nkqubo yayikukuhlinzwa, into endingazange ndayenza, kwaye ndenziwa i-anesthesia. Kwakhona, ndiyavuma ukuba bendinexhala lokuba ngomnye wabo bafazi "abanomsebenzi owenziweyo kwaye batshintsha inkangeleko yabo. Ndiyakucaphukela ukubona zonke ezo ziphazamiso zothusayo eHollywood-nakwi-Upper East Side kwisiXeko saseNew York-kodwa iibhegi zam ezityebileyo zazindikhathaza ngokwenene. Ndigqibele ndiqonda, kutheni ndinyamezele xa ndinokwenza okuthile ngayo? Ndigcine idayari yamava am-ukusuka kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambi koko ukuya kwiiveki ezimbalwa emva koko-kwaye ndathatha iifoto zenkqubela yam. Thatha umlo:

Kwiintsuku ezine ngaphambi kotyando: Kuya kufuneka ndiye kubona umfoti wezonyango oza kuthatha ukudubula kwamehlo am nobuso bam (kwezi foto uhlala uzibonayo kwiiwebhusayithi zoogqirha). Kuya kufuneka ndizikhulule zonke izithambiso zam kwaye xa ndibona imifanekiso kwiintsuku ezimbalwa kamva, ayintle. Uyakwazi ukubona umfanekiso wangaphambili apha.

Iintsuku ezintathu zangaphambi kotyando: Ndibona ugqirha wam ophambili wokukhathalela umzimba kunye negazi ukuze babone nayiphi na imiba yezempilo enokuthi ibangele iingxaki ngexesha lenkqubo. Ndifumana ibhilikhwe yezempilo ecocekileyo (ngaphandle kokufunda okuphezulu kwecholesterol!) Kwaye ndacocelwa utyando. Ndenza intando yokuphila kwi-intanethi-kwimeko enje .... (bendizimisele ukuyenza loo nto kwaye ngoku kubonakala ngathi lixesha elihle.

Ngosuku olungaphambi kotyando: Ndiyoyika kakhulu. Ndidibana noGqr. Lorenc, ochaza indlela oluza kuhamba ngayo olu tyando. Ndiphinde ndimxelele ukuba andifuni ukuphuma kule ndijongeka ngenye indlela...ngcono nje. Uyandiqinisekisa ukuba akazukundinika ukujonga okumangazayo kangangokuba uninzi lwabasetyhini lukhona emva kotyando lwamehlo. Ugqirha Lorenc ucace gca kodwa uyaqinisekisa, endithuthuzelayo. Akenzi nto iswekile okanye athembise ngaphezulu. Ubonakala ethatha indlela yokulondoloza, endiyithandayo. Ndiziva ndingcono emva kokuthetha naye kunye noLorraine Russo, ongumlawuli olawulayo. Ngokuhlwanje ndifumana umnxeba ovela kugqirha wokuthomalalisa iintlungu uTim Vanderslice, M.D., osebenza noGqr. Lorenc. Ufuna ukubona ukuba ndinayo nayiphi na imibuzo kwaye aqinisekise ukuba ndithatha iyeza lokuchasa isicaphucaphu endilinikwe (ukuchasana neziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ze-anesthesia). Yiyo i-anesthesia endikhathazayo kakhulu. Inkqubo yam ifuna kuphela ukuthambisa okukhanya kakhulu, okuhlala kubizwa ngokuba yi "Twilight" okanye ukuthomalalisa ingqondo. Ayinzulu njenge-anesthesia jikelele kwaye ineengozi ezimbalwa ngenxa yoko (akukho i-anesthesia i-100 yepesenti yengozi ekhululekile, nangona kunjalo). Uvuka kuyo kwangoko emva kwenkqubo kwaye icoca inkqubo yakho ngokukhawuleza. Ndinayo i-endoscopy, eyahlala kuphela imizuzu embalwa. Le nkqubo iya kuthatha iyure.

Usuku olukhulu! KungoLwesihlanu kusasa. Ndilele kamnandi kwaye ndiziva ndinemincili kunokuba ndisoyika xa ndifika kwagqirha. UGqr Lorenc unegumbi eliphezulu, elivunywe ngokupheleleyo kwiiofisi zakhe apho angenza khona iinkqubo ezininzi. Ndimele ndivume, ndiyayithanda into yokuba ndingayi esibhedlele. Kukhulu ngakumbi ngakumbi ukuba lapha kwaye ndiziva ndikhuselekile. (Ukuba bendinenkqubo ehlaselayo, ndingakhetha isibhedlele.) ULorraine uthetha nam okwethutyana xa ndifika kuqala, emva koko ndithethe noGqirha Vanderslice buqu, obuza imibuzo emininzi ngempilo yam kwaye kakhulu ukukhulula uxinzelelo lwam malunga ne-anesthesia. Mde kwaye ulunge kakhulu ngokonwaba, iiglasi zamehlo ezintle, ulungile imbonakalo ekwaziyo, endinceda ukuba nam ndithobe umoya.

Ngokukhawuleza ndiphezu kwetafile. UGqr Vanderslice ufaka inaliti ye-sedation (yithiye loo nxalenye!) Kwaye uGqr Lorenc undicela ukuba ndivale kwaye ndivule amehlo am amaxesha ambalwa. Uphawula ulusu kwiinkophe zam apho aya kuncipha khona. I-anesthesia iqala kwaye siqala ukuncokola malunga neeresityu kwindawo endihlala kuyo. Into elandelayo ndiyazi ukuba ndivuka kwaye ndisiwe esihlalweni. Ndihleli ithutyana kufike umhlobo wam uTrisha azondithatha andigoduse. Ndiyawavula amehlo am kancinci kodwa izinto zimfiliba kuba ndinganxibanga ziglasi zam.

Nje ukuba ndifike ekhaya, ndithatha ipilisi yeentlungu—ekuphela kwayo endiya kuyisela xa ndichacha—ndize ndilale iiyure ezimbalwa. Xa ndivuka ndilele apho ndiphendule iifowuni ezivela kusapho nakubahlobo. Akukho ntlungu kwaye kungekudala ndiphakama ndisiya kwigumbi lokuhlala. Ndiqala ukukhenkceza amehlo am ngokubanda okubandayo rhoqo kwimizuzu engama-20 ukuya kwengama-30 okanye ukunciphisa ukudumba (oku kuyaqhubeka kwimpelaveki yonke). Ngexesha uTrisha ebuya ukuze andijonge aze andiphathele isidlo sangokuhlwa ngoLwesihlanu ngokuhlwa, ndibukele umabonakude kwaye ndiziva ndonwabile ngendlela emangalisayo. (Nangona ndingakhangeleki kakuhle. Jonga lo mfanekiso.)

Ngosuku olulandelayo: Ugqirha Lorenc undixelele ukuba ndiphumle impelaveki yonke, nangona ebendikhuthaza ukuba ndiphume ndibethwe ngumoya. Kwenzeka nje ukuba ibeyimpelaveki yokuqala emnandi kule ntwasahlobo kwaye wonke umntu engaphandle. Ndibeka iiglasi zam zelanga ukuze ndizogqume amehlo am ukuze ndingoyikisi abantu, kodwa andinabantu endinxibelelana nabo ukuze ndingaboni kakhulu-kukuhambahamba okungacacanga (qaphela kuye: Fumana iiglasi zelanga ezibhalwe ngugqirha). Ndisadiniwe kancinci, mhlawumbi kwi-anesthesia, kwaye ukuba ndenza kakhulu, ndifumana i-woozy encinci. Lithuba elihle lokulala nje esofeni kwaye uphumle. Iyandimangalisa into yokuba kungabikho ntlungu, kwaye ndisaqhubeka nokufaka icing rhoqo. Ndithathe enye into ndibonisa usapho lwam ukuba ukudumba kwam nokugruzuka kwehle kangakanani ngosuku nje olunye.

Kwiintsuku ezimbini emva: Okuninzi ngokufanayo: Umkhenkce omncinci, ukuhamba kancinci. Sekunjalo akukho ntlungu.

Kwiintsuku ezintathu emva: NguMvulo kwaye andinakuthatha ukuhlala kwigumbi lam umzuzu omde. Ndiya emsebenzini ndinxibe iiglasi zam, ezithi zigubungele ukutyumka iziciko zam ezisezantsi, kodwa ndiseneebhandeji ezimhlophe ezinqamle imithungo kwiziciko zam ezingasentla. Akukho mntu emsebenzini othetha kakhulu- mhlawumbi bayoyika ukuba ndiye ndalwa ibar. Ndiziva ndimnandi.

Kwiintsuku ezine emva: Ndikhupha imithungo yam namhlanje! Akukho zikhonkwane ngaphakathi kwisiciko sam esisezantsi, apho uGqr. Izitishi ezingaphezulu ngandlela thile zenziwe ngaphakathi kuqweqwe, ke konke ekufuneka akwenze kukutsala umtya kwelinye icala kwaye baphume-kwaye kulapho ndiziva ngathi ndiza kudlula.

Andivunyelwe ukwenza imithambo enzima kangangeentsuku ezimbalwa kwaye akukho nto apho intloko yam iphantsi kwezi veki zokuqala (akukho yoga). Ndihamba yonke imihla ukuze ndihlale ndisebenza, kodwa ndiphoswa ziiklasi zam zokukhwela ibhayisekile estudio!

Kwiintsuku ezintlanu emva: Andiyikholelwa indlela anciphise ngayo ukukrala nokudumba!

Kwiintsuku ezilishumi emva koko: Kuya kufuneka ndibekho kwintlanganiso yeqhinga leqela endibandakanyekayo kulo kwaye ekuqaleni bendinexhala malunga nendlela endiza kujongeka ngayo, kodwa kuphela kukuthula kwaye akukho mntu uphawula into (ubuncinci, akukho mntu uthi nantoni na).

Kwiiveki ezimbini emva: Akukho kukrala kwaye amehlo am abukeka emhle. Akukho kukhukhumala ngaphantsi kwaye iziva ekubambeni kweenkophe zam zikhanya ngokulula yonke imihla (kunye, zifihliwe kakuhle). Iziciko zam ezingaphezulu zisendindisholo kancinci; UGqr. Lorenc uthi imvakalelo iya kubuya ngokuhamba kwexesha njengoko bephilisa. Iziciko zam ezisezantsi zibuhlungu xa ndizitsala, endithi maxa wambi ndizenze ekuseni ukuba ndiyalibala kwaye ndiqala ukuphulula amehlo am.

Emva kwenyanga: Ndibona amantombazana ngaphezu kweSuku lweSikhumbuzo kwaye akukho mntu uqaphele ukuba ndijongeka ngokwahlukileyo, nangona bonke besithi ndibukeka ndimhle. Kwenzeka into enye entlanganisweni: Ndifumana izincomo ezininzi kwaye ndiye ndiqale ndizibuze ukuba ingaba abantu babona umohluko ngaphandle kokwazi ngqo ukuba yintoni.Ayinamsebenzi kum into yokuba akukho mntu unokuxelela into endiyenzileyo (ngandlela ithile, ilungile). Yintoni ebalulekileyo kukuba ndiyaqaphela kwaye ndiyakuthanda ukungabinazo ezo ngxowa zityebileyo phantsi kwamehlo am! Ndiziva ndithembele ngakumbi kwaye andinangxaki ekuthatheni umfanekiso wam (bendihlala ndisoyika kuba ndiyithiyile indlela endijonge ngayo).

UGqr. Lorenc undixelela ukuba kuyakuthatha iinyanga ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba ndiphile ngokupheleleyo kwaye ukudumba kuphele nge-100 lepesenti. Kulapho ndiza kubona khona iziphumo "zokugqibela". Nokuba ayizukubangcono kunangoku, nangona kunjalo, ndiya kuhlala ndonwabile!
