so I've got my work cut out for me today.
my work cut out for me today. For Rosa's surgery today, I'm
For Rosa's surgery today, I'm going to start with liposuction
going to start with liposuction on her left breast
on her left breast to give her mound symmetry.
to give her mound symmetry. I'll then perform a lift
I'll then perform a lift by removing excess skin,
by removing excess skin, including her underwire

burn scar, giving her small, perky breasts.
Next, I will begin her perky breasts.
Next, I will begin her tummy tuck by entering perky breasts.

tightening the underlying muscle, and removing perky breasts.

So what we're gonna do is remove as much of this burn scar
as much of this burn scar as possible.
as possible. Good thing about doing
Good thing about doing a breast lift
a breast lift is we actually get to remove
is we actually get to remove a significant portion

The good news is, now everything is working properly,
is working properly, and despite the resistance
