Makeup on the day

by em_stevo 29th March 2009, 12:19 pm

This is gonna sound like a very vein question but the thought of travelling to the surgery and speaking to my ps before my op without my makeup on is not a good one. He probs wont even recognise me without it, I know that sounds ridiculus but I am soooo used to wearing my makeup every single day that I really dont fancy the idea of going anywhere without it. It will be totally out of my comfort zone. (How pathetic am I??)
If i turn up with a little mascara on will i be asked to remove it there n then?? That would be embarrassing!! Theres been nothing said about not wearing makeup when i turn up?? Also nailvarnish, does this have to be removed from hands and feet??? As someone told me you have to remove it as they look for the colour in your fingertips when your under the ga???xxxxx

I know exactly what you mean about wearing make up hun... Luckily my admission time was at the crack of dawn, so I didnt bother putting any on..
Yeah you will be able to wear mascara hun, aslong as you take it off before the op..

Yes you have to remove all nail varnish and fake nails as they use the colour of your fingertips to monitor you whilst under General Anaesthetic..

Hope this helps xx

Hiya, i was the same as you. I NEVER leave the house without make up!! sad i know but true. I just put on the bare essentials on the day of my op even though i left the house at 5.30am i wasnt taking no chances!! and i didnt want to look rough going into a posh private hospital!! lol
I just had on a little concealer, foundation and mascara.

To be honest i forgot i had any on and the nurses didnt notice so i ended up going to theatre with it on!! ooooops.

Just make sure you take some make-up wipes to easily remove it before you go down. And yes, you need to remove nail polish too xx

Oh dear!!! Saying that my op is first thing too so I guess its not too bad, (didnt think of that) I have to be there at 7:45am for my op at 8:30am although my ps is kinda cute, lol. Joke,xx

I didnt wear any on the day as i was asked not to, i got a lady cab to the hospital and was too exciting/anxious to worry about make up x

by em_stevo 29th March 2009, 3:06 pm

Yeh I guess your right nads, the last thing on my mind on fri morning is gonna be whether my lashes are lookin good, lol.x

Your not allowed nail varnish on hands or feet.. or no makeup on the day. I travelled to hosp without makeup, sat in the waiting room with everyone else wearing no makeup and their partners/family and saw my ps, nurse, etc. I didnt give a damn lol and you wont either x

by em_stevo 29th March 2009, 6:41 pm

Yeah your right BB, its just not worth the risk I guess!! There are reasons for these things arent there??? I wont care as long as I get my nice boobies!! lol. xx

by BlondeBarbie 29th March 2009, 6:44 pm

Yeah its important hun its the last thing you'll be thinking of anyway :) whos doing your op? x

by em_stevo 29th March 2009, 6:50 pm

Im getting it done by a company called vive cosmetics. The surgeon is peter hodgkinson who also works for the nuffield newcastle and at the royal victoria in newcastle on nhs. Its a new company which have just started in middesbrough where i live. I think its the same comany based at the cobalt treatment in n'castle.
He seems pretty good, done my research and my friend had him so fingers crossed for me, lol. I just want it out the way now, getting really scared!!!xxx

You'll be fine hun, it'll be over before you know it and you'll be back on here telling us all about it xx

by em_stevo 29th March 2009, 7:03 pm

Yeahhhhh!!! I hope so, i cant wait till im officially on the other side!!!xxx

by **nads** 29th March 2009, 7:06 pm

I think its just to stop anymore bacteria getting in the operating room hun, i had to scrub myself with anti-bac soap on the morning x

by BlondeBarbie 29th March 2009, 7:07 pm

Oh right i didnt think of that.. i thought it was because they had to see your real colour in your face.

Oooh we are all really close, i have major butterflies now! Just enjoying my last drink of the week, a lovely homemade sangria, my favorite mmmm x Are any of you girls anxious about size? I have a horrible feeling I have gone too small arrgh. I might phone him tomorrow and ask him to bring the sizers to surgery with him for me to try again (are you aloud to do that you think?)

by mariajw 29th March 2009, 8:40 pm

Hey Hunni

I did wear a little bit of mascara - and thought I would take it off if I needed to. They didn't say anything, so it stayed on!!

Good Luck for you BA!!

Ooo and i am ver jel of your sangria!! mmmmm lol

by mrs o 29th March 2009, 9:14 pm

Come round i have a whole jug lol! I can basically only have an implant that is 12cm in width, so i can either go for the 345cc mhp or the 410cc hp, i went with the 345, but am now thinking sod it may as well go for it lol. I am really scared of being stared at tho and not being able to buy all of the lovely size ten dresses that I have been dying to wear for the last 15 years cos they are now too small on the boobies. What are your stats babe and what and who are you having?

by cakey_baby 29th March 2009, 9:46 pm

I love sangria but unfortunatly dont love the stinking hangover that comes with it! lol if you feel confident with that size implant hun then go for it at least you know the choice is there, im only 5ft 2 34 back size so im having 275cc i didnt want to go to big for my height, and im going abroad for mine who are you going with? ooo its so exciting!! lol

I shave my eyebrows and draw them on, and I was sooo worried about having to go looking like Marilyn Manson or something! :pale:
When I got my confirmation email I asked if I could keep them and they said it would be ok...I also had a little bit of mascara on (bare minimum)...there was others in the waiting room with make-up on, but I'm not sure if they took it off when they got into their rooms.

hey honey good luck. My admission time was 12pm and I wore a little make up and they never mentioned it! x
