WORTH IT
I can’t believe it’s been 4 months already! I am doing great. I can do everything normally now, and have been for the past couple of months. I dance, lift weights, and am totally loving my new shape. I still feel sore on my bum and thighs to the touch, and stiff around my hips and lower back. I just have to stretch and move and the stiffness is relieved. I also get swollen after busy days and heavy workouts. I love to wear my compression pants on these swollen days.
I have attached photos. My waist is back and the swelling of my lower back is gone. I am in love with my booty! It looks better everyday. The only unfortunate part is the skin on my quads has returned to a saggy accordion as per before the lift. The doctor did expect this and a thigh lift was discussed as a possibility at my first consult. I was hoping after seeing my immediate results that this wouldn’t be the case as the skin was so tight. But as the swelling decreased, the sag returned :(
So unfortunately to achieve the best results, I will have that thigh lift operation in the future. I’m no where near ready yet, I’m going to give it at least a year.

6 weeks post op
6 weeks out and I am doing great. I've started packing for vacation and its so cool to see how I can wear low rise pants again. My hips and waist are so much smaller, and my nice round booty to back! It is just smaller, smoother and higher now. I'm not even sure how to dress now that my body is so different, it seems like my current wardrobe won't be working anymore. I will wait until three months before I go shopping as I am still most comfortable in my compression clothing.
Today I worked out so I am a bit swollen but I will add some photos.
I still have the open wound right above my bum. The doc has cleaned it and it is now sore so that is a sign it is getting better. I look forward to that being closed soon.

3.5 weeks post Lower Body Lift
I’m feeling pretty great. I’m finding the most soreness comes from standing for too long and driving. As long as I am sitting, I feel pretty great. Just swollen and tight still.
I am posting some photos from before my first surgery this summer (lipo de-bulk) to my 3.5 week’s post LBL so y’all can see how worth it this was! :) My results are far from perfect but the improvements are unreal. My lower back is still quite swollen so my booty looks super flat from the sides, but I know once the swelling goes down my sway back will return, and dat booty will be poppin’!

Tina’s Tips tummy tuck vs lower body lift
I’m so thankful Dr Kevin Bridge Abilene Texas did 2 quotes for me one tummy tuck w/lipo and one lower body lift w/lipo-
I had to Google lower body lift to see what it even was, and I thought omgggg this is what I need I added saline breast implants pre op appt
Get the lower body lift if you have excess skin the tummy tuck won’t get rid of all around
Natures sunshine lymphatic drainage helps with swelling beyond imaginable
Lift recliner you will sleep and be able to get up to go to bathroom I stayed in mine about 4 weeks then slowly got to sleep in my bed
Silicone gel. **The tape don’t stay in place, unless under breast did great
Compression socks since not much movement
First week toughest, 6 weeks you start feeling good
Rest as much as possible
Long Tongs to pick up things that fall
Tables beside the recliner for everything you need
Listen to your Dr and go to all appointments
Wear your compression garments helps with swelling, pain and contouring
Take stool softener when you get home, I didn’t and only had liquids first 3 days and was impacted and did water enema’s to loosen was not fun
I had 3 drains and had to attend a funeral I placed them in a fanny pack wish I would have done that from the start was so much easier to deal with them they are a pain but so very needed
You are going to look awesome, don’t expect perfection unless you were already there, I am not perfect but I love my 2nd chance body makeover and I’m thrilled with it! Best decision I ever made!!
If you have help at home let them help you
Listen to your body and be patient
In my case it took pressure off my bladder and I pee like never before with the flap of tummy gone
Also my blood pressure is perfect which it was always slightly high prior at times high Dr suggested pills if it didn’t lower
I can’t wait to have my cholesterol lab’s done cause I know it’s lower as well
Wish you all the best
