Having extremely heavy saddlebags has been a problem for many years. Clothes don’t fit right always tight in thigh area and too big in waist. Gaining weight over the years has made this extra embarrassing exercise doesn’t take it off loosing weight they still show. Would love to have that area on the sides of legs flat, I joked saying wish I could take out of thighs and put it in my breast lol ,...but I see on RealSelf you “Can” .Yay! so during my consult I asked about it and Dr Jeffery Rockmore said I could have it done so we will Lipo from thighs flanks and some belly and add to my drooping breasts and give me nice cleavage. I read a lot on RealSelf and noticed arm lift and yes I called Dr R to see if we can add that too?he said as long as I relized there will be a scar he could do it. Might as well get this all done same day and recoup the one time. I’m very excited and can’t wait. Will post Photos as soon as I can.

Bless you...wish you a good recovery. Are you taking any pre and post op vitamin supplements? I had Explant surgery on the 22 March...did much research to get my body ready. If you would like, I can let you know what was suggested to take. By the way I'm 69.

Thank you yes would love any ideas you have there is a lot of info on here so confusing. Taking iron that's it so far. Less than 3 weeks to go

These are what I took...I routinely take other things also but these are at least recommended. Also let your Doctor know what you are taking. My PS was thumbs up on these...none of whic are blood thinning.....Does your doctor know you are taking IRON? Since you are post menopausal Iron supple ts are not typically recommended. The only way we can rid our blood of the build up of iron is of course bleeding or giving blood. Unless your doctor has checked your blood level of iron to make sure it's needed I would be cautious on the Iron. Most of what I have here can be bought at Walgreens on most drug stores....Wal-Mart possibly...and of course Health Food Stores and any Compound Pharmacy but will cost more......Best of Luck....looking forward to your updates. Your gonna do just fine.

As I mentioned I had Explant surgery....my doctor gave me an Exparel injection, a numbing med that delays post-op pain for about a week! It was $400 extra but sooo worth it. I can honestly say I have had zero pain, no meds, not even a Tylenol. And he had quite the job with Explanting my implants....they were like rocks (35 year old implants) I consider myself very fortunate that everything was contained within the capsules as he removed the implants intact in the capsule. Great med, so glad he suggested it for me.

Had my surgery went well been very sore not much bruising till 4 or so days later. Next day took pic of thighs in garment couldn't believe how flat they were I was ecstatic. Fluid has built up so I'm swollen and look bigger. This will go away couple mths think its from sitting but its hard not too. I sit on pillows to help. Arms were sore along with knees, legs,waist and back, but the pain pills knocked me out for a few hrs so I sleep thru bit of it. Also had upper eye lid...each day gets better. Walking does help a great deal.

Hi there DNad57.....your results are amazing! I had been wondering how you are doing...thanks for updating. And you even had your eye lids done, good for you. And your thighs are so flat....looks like someone will looking for a new wardrobe soon. Looking forward to seeing more photos as your healing continues. Hope your recovery is quicker than expected. Take care now :)

Wow that's alot to endure at once! I'm 46 but probably won't be able to afford it for about another 10 years so seeing you do this is inspiring! I have basically the same issues (not arms) but really need a breast lift too (I had breast cancer with lumpectomy 6 years ago & should have taken advantage of it then)...did you have a lift and if so will you please provide pics as you progress (covered or not I'm not a perve just curious to see how it can look).
Thanks and good luck with your recovery!

I know you already have your breast fat grafted but if I had to do it over I wouldn't do or recommend it. I had it down 8 years ago. Not because it looks bad or the fat dissipates, not even the price I paid. But as time goes on the fat grafts can become necrotic. That has happened to me and they form lumps. Mammograms are hard for the radiologists to read so they always have to take additional film etc. Every lump is a cancer scar and of course my Dr. found a lump on me during my yearly. A mammogram tech let me see a cyst I had, no one had ever done that before. It looked huge wasn't cancerous. But every year I go thru this. Didn't have my mammogram yet and not looking forward to it.
