I had a tummy tuck without lip on April 21, 2010. And, yes, I wish I had the lipo on my thighs. Now, I can wear size 4, but they would fit much better if I didn't have the saddle bags. I thought I could get rid of the excess on my legs at the gym,(I work out quite a bit), but I couldn't. I am not very much over weight (under 10 lbs), but the fat on my legs just doesn't want to leave. Anyway, I thought I'd share my thoughts. I saved $3000.00 by not having the lipo, but now I wish I had borrowed,yes borrowed, a little bit more and had it done. However, I am glad I at least had the tummy tuck.
I had Dr. Julie Khanna from Oakville do my surgery. I am very pleased with the results. I am almost 4 months post op,and still have a little swelling, but healing very nicely. If you have any other questions, I would be happy to answer them.
Although she did get a lot of the stretch marks, there are still some small ones, which like your doctor said, were above the navel before. But I have to say the ones that are left don't bother me a bit.
