You certainly don't look "old" Elle
& I have only heard of Chem peels to get rid of wrinkles or for pitted skin.
I FEAR that you MIGHT be falling into a dangerous mindset that CAN be addictive.

I have to say that I think you should spend the money on a vacation to "connect" with yourself
INSTEAD of altering yourself.

I HOPE you don't think I'm out of line.
I struggled with whether or not to post this BUT...
it breaks my heart to see a beautiful woman,
going through "procedures" to "improve" on what DOESN'T NEED IMPROVEMENT.

Your right about my doctor being a great one, I am sure some well known chop shops here in south Florida would of cut me open regardless of further risk of infection.  I chose him wisely and have planned this for 15 years so I'm greatful that he wants the best for his patients.  As for the esthetician, I had not planned on doing my décolletage area, she pointed out to me all the sun damage and convinced me to do it.  It was just a really deep burn, she left the acid on a bit longer than she should of, she gave me a deep peel! I was suffering from second degree burns since last Wednesday. I am healing up better each day and should be good as new by this weekend. Surgery postponed till early November. Everything happens for a reason and the risk of an infection or worse is not a gamble that I am willing to take.
Thanks for taking the time to write

I have to say that I agree with everyone else.  You really are beautiful the way you are!  Of course, it's YOU who has to be happy with YOU!  *smiles*    So, it's definitely better that you have a doctor who postponed the surgery than some nut job who would have done it anyway!

Just curious ... Was the chemical peel in preparation for the surgery or was it part of a skin care treatment?  I only ask because I am an Aesthetician and have never done a chem. peel on someone's chest.

Anyway, your surgery will be here before you know it!  Best of luck!!!

Hugs,   Tarah

My surgery was just postponed! I had a chemical peel on my chest last week and because of the bad reaction the doctor has postponed my surgery for a couple of weeks
