Extended Tummy Tuck, Lipo and Upper Eye Lift - Finally Doing a Review...- Thailand, TH
ORIGINAL POST
I am a 40 year old mother of 3 x boys, 6mths-15...
WORTH IT$9,100
I am a 40 year old mother of 3 x boys, 6mths-15 and 18 years old. I have had a previous tt with MR and have had a c- section with my first bub. My tt was approx 12 years ago. Although i loved the results i was not happy with my surgeon at the time. I had very bad dog ears and when i questioned him he said i should be grateful because he did lipo on my sides for free! Unbelievably arrogant! I truely believe he did no such thing. I was no smaller, i didnt need it done in the first place and there was no bruising at all. Back then i was not a very strong woman so although i was not happy with it, i simply let it go. Anyway... Life happened, there were ups and some very major downs. We all have our own issues in our lives we deal with. Mine were more than some and a lot less than others. I met a wonderful man 7 yrs ago, i could talk for hours about how wonderful he is! (but i wont get all sappy lol) We decided to have my last little boy hence the big age difference. I am finally in a place where i am happy and content in my life. I dont care what i look like naked. I like a lot of other women simply want to look good in clothes. To be able to shop in normal shops and not in the big ladies section.
I will be having an extended tt which i am told will correct all the issues i have on my tummy and sides. I have chickened out on the thigh lift (for now) and will just get the lipo. I think you will see from the pics that its highly likely i will need a lift in the future. I think the pic of my eyes speak for themselves.
I have decided to have my surgery in thailand. Obviously with the price being half of what i would have paid here in Australia its a big draw card. My costing is procedures only. I also had to pay for flights and accomodation. The total cost was $11000. I have several friends that have had procedures done there, including tt, face lifts and breast lift/enlargements. The hospital and my dr come recommended and yes he is board certified. Im hoping for a recovery like my first one. Back at work after a week and a half with zero complications. Only ever had one follow up app with my ps.
I have read that the magical bmi number you need to be is under 30 so thats what ive been striving for. Have just reached this so now trying to get within 6kilos of my healthy weight range. I have 6.5 kilos (14lb) to lose in 5 weeks!! I am 168cm (5.6) and weigh 82.5kilos (181lb). Appologises if my conversions are wrong.
So finally i have written my reveiw and would love to hear any hints, tips and suggestions any of you lovely ladies may have. I have been stalking this website for some time now and already know some of you...
I will add pics asap.

Just seen ur pics. You're going to look great! Not sure why you need an extended TT.
January 2, 2014
My ps said he needs to do a longer incision to fix my sides. I have only been communicating with him via email and pics. I have also lost a lot of weight since i sent him my original pics so he may change his mine. The weight i have said in my reviw is weight loss since pre pregnancy weight. I did get up to 104k-229lb when pregnant. I was 95k-209lb in my original pic. I havent given it any thought til now...maybe i should send another updated pic to him. THANKS

Good luck on your journey .you will look great .
January 2, 2014
Ive been sooo impressed with everyones and i do mean everyones results on here. I wanna be one too lol!
January 5, 2014
Jules73 you are going to be so stunned. I am one of those people that can see the final vision under all the issues. I think it comes from House Flipping, as I buy fixers and make them Gems lol
Your thighs look pretty good so I hope you are not doing lipo on them..??
I think your TT will be amazing and u will look Fab.
My dad had his eyes fixed and it made a big difference for sure.
Keep us posted. What date is your surgery??
January 5, 2014
Thank you soo very much for your positive words! I hope your right! I am having vaser lipo on my inner thighs. I have always had bad chafing and im hoping with all my fingers and toes crossed that the lipo will fix it. I watch a house fliipping show and i love it! Sounds like it would be very interesting. Im on this site all the time so you may get sick of hearing my updates soon lol. I fly out feb 3, surgery on the 5th, im in hospital 5 days then to a hotel. Fly back home feb 17th. I hate the fact i will be away from my family so long. Im travelling with my aunty.
January 5, 2014
I have never known anyone to have that kind of lipo.
You look like a good candidate from what I just read.
I never get sick of this site! It's just so interesting I am addicted to reading everyone's adventure : )
I will be following your journey!!!!!

I think you are going to love your results Jules73. I am getting a TT revision sometime before summer as now he is not using staples to close ya up.. I scar really well ... Unless you use staples.... So 30lbs left to loose a face lift and revise TT and I'll be done lol maybe...
January 3, 2014
Why have i never read your review!! I love the results on your legs i wish i had the guts to do it. If im happy with the way things go with my procedure getting it overseas im mean i will definitely consider s breast lift and thigh lift.
Will just have to wait and see. What revision are you looking at. I think your tummy looks good.
January 3, 2014
Lmao thanks thighs are coming along!
not sure why u haven't lol but thanks for reading it now !! If you look close you can see my scar for my TT has railroad tracks from the staples and when you use stitches on me I scar very little. So I am having scar revised and my dog ear fixed. You can also see on my left hip where my scar has thickened and is hurting so he will fix that too. He wanted to go up the middle my tummy to bring my waist in last time and I said no, but this next time might let him pull me in as I still have some excess skin. I could use a LBL but probably never do that one. Wish I was rich and could just do everything I want and be done :)
January 3, 2014
Ahh ok. I do believe dog ears get worse over time too. Totally agree with the money. If only money wasnt an issue...how good would we look. Starting with a cook, personal trainer and when i slip up a quick trip to my own ps for a little nip ahd tuck! Actually im partly joking i think there we all learn from doing it the hard way..
January 3, 2014
I wouldn't necessarily say this is the easy way lol
And if I could get rid of excess skin another way I probably would of done that for sure . This surgery [RS bleep] hurts lol
January 2, 2014
I am really excited for your journey and can't wait to see pics after! I have some good tips on my Review in regards to eating right, etc. I lost over 100 lbs before my surgery. I was 260 lbs and now I am 150 lbs exactly (I am 5'9"). Good luck to you!
January 3, 2014
Im actually cheating with my diet lol. Im using a company called lite n easy. They bring food to you for the week. Breaky, lunch, dinner and snacks. All calories counted completely hassle free. Im on 1200 calories. Ive lost 21.5k-47lb since august. Its really hard to work my weight out tho cause i have a 6mth old so a lot of weight ive lost has been baby weight. In my reveiw ive gone by my pre pregnancy weight i think thats easier. I have read your reveiw, you are definitely an inspiration. Thank you
