WORTH IT$18,000
I had a tummy tuck and mons lift with Dr. Joseph F. Capella on April 18, 2013. My results were amazing. You may read about it here. So now I've decided to do a total body transformation. I am scheduled for a 6-hr surgery on October 10th. Dr. Capella will revise my tummy tuck to a lower body lift, do further tightening of my mons, and perform a medial thigh lift, arm lift, flankplasty, and breast lift. I am super excited! You may follow my journey on realself here.

A first look at my thighs, one-month post op
I am just a little more than one month post inner thigh lift (t incision) and lower body lift (no tummy tuck) and upper body lift (no implants). Here are a few blurry (sorry) photos of my gorgeous thighs. As soon as I get the before photos from Dr. Capella's office I will post them for comparison. My thighs were a mess after massive weight loss and he made them lovely and youthful. They surely don't look like surgery thighs or the thighs of a 49yo woman who was once morbidly obese.
Recovery of the thigh lift has been quite easy for me so far, just a small opening in the right groin and some swelling and skin tightness issues... No big deal.

so no complications? Did you have random stinging or burning sensation 1 - 2 weeks into your recovery?

I ask because I'm 7 days post op for my thigh lift and not sure if what I'm going through is or is not normal. You can take a look at my review if you like:

I had serious complications with the arm lift and have written an extensive review on that journey. The easiest way to access that is through my profile page.

Perhaps post your situation to the plastic surgeons here on Realself for a second professional opinion.
Its great that you are doing such a thorough job of reviewing your surgeries. Can't wait to hear more, and see pics as you go!! :)
