I'm currently recovering from an extended Arm Lift...

WORTH IT$200
I'm currently recovering from an extended Arm Lift (1/17/14) and thought that I would plan a breast lift next. However, the skin tightening under the arms has pulled my chest up a little and I think I would prefer to wait on the lift until my upper body is fully healed.
My PS will not combine procedures and I doubt that I can handle too much pain/risk of complications since I'm in my mid fifties and don't recover as well as I used to. I lost 150 pounds a few years ago, had a TT and then went on to lose another 35 pounds. My weight has been stable for a long time but I only recently have the time to devote to recovering from a series of procedures.
I need to have a Thigh Lift and will eventually have the TT revised to a full body lift to pull up the outside of my hips, but removing the excess from my inner thighs (just like removing the excess from my upper arms) is a priority.
By scheduling in early April, I'll have my daughter home from school for a week to help me and I should be past the worst first weeks before the weather improves and my garden needs me.
Adding a photo to show how bad it is. I'm 5'6, 134lbs and wear 2's and 4's but it involves a lot of compression to make these thighs look slim.

This will be the test

I bought this garment:
http://www.classicshapewear.com/annette-renolife-post-lipo-bodysuit-w-sleeves-17438-p-2740.html
Because it was so inexpensive and it looks like I will need it after the Thigh lift and again after I revise my TT into a Body lift (probably in October).
The garment came quickly and even though I'm close to a small by measurements, the medium will not go on because all my extra thigh skin pushes up into my hip/crotch.
I'm not worried though, I bet it will fit once I'm a few weeks post op.

Desired outcome?

To see what your thighs could look like without the sagging skin, lie down with your feet in the air, take a photo and then rotate the image to put your feet on the ground.
I will be pleased with anything close to this.

Thats a neat trick. Congrates on the weight loss, what a huge amount to lose. You have to be proud of that. Good luck on your tl journey

Check out Dr. Joseph F. Capella. He has the largest published experience of thigh lifts and has done thousands of them. He did a phenomenal job on my thighs. He has offices in NY and NJ. Prices are reasonable -- under $7k all inclusive. Good luck!

Thank you, I have a doctor here and I am scheduled for 4/11/14. I'm almost 6 weeks post arm lift with no complications and beautiful results. My doc does many thigh lifts. In July I plan to have him revise my TT from 8 years ago (I'm 30 pounds lighter now) into a full body lift. In October it will probably be a breast lift and at some point, neck and upper eye lids.
It helps that I have full insurance coverage for cosmetics and it's easiest to use local docs that are familiar with this coverage.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were looking for a surgeon. Good luck with your surgeries -- it is so exciting to do the total body transformation!!! I did mine last year, and one of the procedures I had was to convert the TT to an LBL as I lost weight, too. It was a good move and I think you will be happy with your results. I am jealous that you have full insurance coverage for cosmetics. I have only run across one other person who did. She workd for the U.N. May I inquire how you have insurance that covers cosmetics? I am just curious but understand if that is too personal a question to answer. Good luck with your transformation! I hope you get all that you desire!

I said no I wasn't doing it because all the scares were horrible, but now I am going to check out your doctor. I have one big concern though, does it change the shape of labia and if so is it uncomfortable?
March 27, 2014
My thigh lift recovery was rather easy. Not sure what you mean by changing the shape of the labia. I wanted my mons pulled tighter and Dr. Capella did that with my surgery. He did an amazing job - I was so ashamed of my deformed juicy bits and Dr. Capella made it beautiful.

LOL. That is clever. I tried it and I really liked what I saw. Thank you for the tip.
