EP 261 Anne & Kelli talk honestly about plastic surgery & spending lots of quality time in Louisiana

Join Anne & Kelli for their 261st NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast. In this episode they speak openly and honestly about some minor facial procedures they recently had in New Orleans. Kelli’s sister, Dr Claire Melancon, is a double board-certified Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon who has her own private practice, Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery, on Magazine Street in New Orleans. They talk about making the decision and how important it is to trust your surgeon and that they trusted Claire implicitly. Anne had a lower blepharoplasty (lower eye lift to remove inherited bags & dark circles) and a CO2 laser peel, all while under anesthesia on New Year’s Eve. Kelli had an in-office version of the CO2 peel and was awake during that procedure on Jan 2nd.

They talk about the entire process. From booking a week at an Air B&B and stocking the kitchen with a shopping list made from a menu of salt-free and anti-inflammatory recipes to help with swelling and healing, to the actual details of the procedures, the recovery process that included some considerable setbacks for Anne because of unknown allergies, puzzles, Five Crowns, TV binges and so much more.

Also hear about their extended time in Baton Rouge with Kelli’s Mom Mellie, after their week in New Orleans because of Anne’s allergic reaction. They went to the movies, played lots of Five Crowns, watched QVC for the first time, and had some meals at two of their favorites, Mansur’s and Phil’s Oyster Bar before heading back to NOLA for one last check-in with Claire before heading home.

Next, they talk about coming home to an apartment still filled with Christmas decorations and that take down process. They spent time with family that included dinner with their daughter Vivi in NYC, taking Anne’s Mom Sue to brunch at the fabulous Valley Rock Inn, and dinner with their son Blake and his wife Teresa to see the new sonogram pics of their baby to come!

Then hear about their current TV binges that included Landman and The Better Sister. They are also super excited that The Pitt and Traitors are back!
