Thigh lift
UPDATED FROM Skinnym3
Here I go changing ....again!
$6,000
Ok, so I've been trying to determine what would be the best procedures to bring me closer to if not better than my pre baby and desperate housewife days. I've lost a ton of weight since heading back into the workforce. I'm thin and attractive but I've got work to do. I was soo happy to finally be slim again, that I paid little attention to parts of my body and face that changed due to the massive weight gain and lost.
Let me cut to the chase. What I now would like to do is a TT, lipo from upper thighs all the way up to back, tiny bbl, thigh lift, and because my face is soo slim now, a rhinoplasty to match my face. The thigh lift worries me the most. My plan is to do the bbl, lipo, TT, and rhino in one surgery. Shouldn't be a monumental task. Again, I'm 5'7 and 125 pounds. 2-3 of which are my implants. My measurements today are:
36 hips
24 1/2 waist
36 dd breast
I want every bit of fat that can be removed safely and introduced to my arse. Tummy tuck scar very low after sucking the daylights out of my waist, back, and teeny tiny handles? Irregardless of what anyone says, a much smaller nose. I'm not concerned with looser skin on the thighs. My goal is to have the inner thighs as fat free as possible. I'll deal with the thigh lift after the lipo and contouring 6 months later.
For the multiple procedures, I'm considering a particular surgeon in DR. Granted, I'm rather small now but I want VERY noticeable and non conservative results. Still exploring surgeons but I've found 3 thus far that fit the bill. I'm anxious to get on with these surgeries.
Work scheduling is major source of frustration at this point because we are heading towards our busiest time of year. Ugh. If I wasn't afraid of being bored and gaining weight again, I'd go back to being a housewife and just focus on putting myself back together again. Se la vie!

Hi all. I've wanted a BBL since losing 143 pounds...
Hi all. I've wanted a BBL since losing 143 pounds but now at 5'7 124 pounds I've decided that it's perhaps best that I have a tummy tuck and medial thigh lift to rid myself of the excess skin. I want both done at the same time. I want extreme results. I'm hoping for very smooth thighs and amazing belly contouring with very low scar. I'm open to all suggestions. Ideally I'd like to have surgery locally but I feel that most surgeons in my area are far to conservative. I've yet to come across a TT (in NC) that made me say wow!!! Not many awesome thigh lifts either unless it involved a long scar down the leg. Which may force me to travel and if I do that, I want to be wowed! I really want great contouring in conjunction with these surgeries. All to often with TT, I just see a flatter tummy for some but the waistline is wide. For many thigh lifts, not a huge difference unless there's some serious lifting and lipo. Again, I'm pretty small but there is excess skin but I don't want to just be hoisted down with a line at hip level and thighs hoisted up conservatively. I can and will take as much time needed for the heeling process as I now work from home, hubby can also work from home being self employed and I plan on bringing in extra help if need be.
I REALLY need your input RS family with finding a PS that can deliver. I don't care where he or she is located. I am concerned about the overall cost but I won't be deterred. After losing more than what I currently weigh with very little trace of my former size, I'd really like to banish all trace of my obese days. I know there will be scars. I can deal with those but oh how I long to wear a bikini, crop top, short shorts and frolic freely on Caribbean beaches with my sexy Caribbean husband and darling daughter.

Congratulations on your weight loss, it really is impressive! I saw your other reviews, your breast revision surgery looks fantastic! It's funny, we had VERY similar procedures, I also had breast lift with implant exchange, as well as Juvederm like you... But the biggie was the LBL, it truly is a life changing surgery, I lost about 100lbs, I weigh 124, and am a size 2 after surgery, they were able to remove 6 lbs of skin! This surgery really gave me my life back, my results were more than I could have dreamed of, nothing short of AMAZING!
You seem like a woman on a mission....I have NO doubt you will get the results you are hoping for...You did the hard work, now it's time for you to enjoy your healthy body!

I remember reading about your journey and thinking wow this woman looks fantastic! Absolutely stunning! I never fretted about the aging process and when I was bigger, I just couldn't wait to get smaller. Now that I'm smaller than I ever dreamed I'd be, I see that it comes at a price. I'm incredibly grateful to be tiny and healthy but oh boy, the skin and the loss of volume in my cheeks.... face and bottom! The aging process is staring me in the face literally :-). I hadn't thought of a lbl. I don't really have anything to grab in the back, waist, and outer thighs. The belly and inner thighs is a whole different story. It's a brave new world and with input from fabulous women such as yourself, it makes the journey exciting and worthwhile! Thank you thank you for your kind words and encouragement.

Bravo, losing weight like that total Energy Commitment. I too had a TT, but w Complete circumference. That is a 360, all the weigh around. I must say in the beginning it was brutal, recovery was tough. I rented a power recliner. I slept in it for at least 2-3 wks. Best thing I did because you push a button & it goes from incline to upright. You temporarily have no core & will have a terrible time getting yourself out of bed. & you know you must maintain a position of bent over for initial healing. I was very glad I did the circumferential surgery. It made me smooth all around. Won't say my age but (or do pictures) I am a grandma-& not a young one. Do it so you can enjoy it. At 2 years, which I know sounds like a long time I looked amazing. At not 3 yrs, scars are very faded-to gone. Although I would not recommend my dr, he was good. I have read wonderful things @ dr Winslow outside of Indianapolis. I am getting some more work done w Dr Cooper in Jupiter, FL. Have used him before, I would recommend him!

Thanks for your input. I had a tummy tuck on Dec 11 th and I mentioned my thighs to my surgeon at the time. He said my thighs were not bad at all. He stated I just needed the front to be smoothed out and he could do that with the tummy tuck. Right after surgery my thighs were vastly improved but the first four weeks after surgery most of the TT swelling went right to my thighs!!!! Undoing all of the front tightening that occurred during the TT. I'm still healing from the surgery at just 6 weeks PO. I'm going to give myself another 4 weeks to determine if I want to do anything further.
