WORTH IT$7,200

About 7 years ago I had tummy tuck and lipo suction to my inner and outter thighs. Over the years, I've gained weight, but in my thigh which looks terrible because it came back dimpled. The Dr who performed the procedure did a good job, but he didn't stress how important it is to wear my compression garments long term. My stomach is still flat, but my thighs are large and I've gotten to the point that I don't like wearing pants because they really show how big my thighs are. I've have always been self conscious about my flat butt and decided to have the fat transferred there. Over the years, I've done a lot to make my butt round (body shapers) butt at the end of the day, it's still flat. I've been dating my boyfriend for 19 months now and he sees no problem with the way I look. I have a problem so I've decided to have the surgery. He doesn't know about the fat transfer to the butt. I'm going to let that be a surprise for him and he will find out after my surgery. I know now that remaining healthy and in shape will only keep my figure.We have a state of the art health club and my job and I'm a member, but sometimes you don't want to work out. I have a beautiful face and men do call me gorgeous and pretty all the time, but I don't feel that way underneath my clothes. I'm also going to join the gym around my house to help me during the holiday and thereafter because I work from home on Fridays and therefore will be able to workout on the weekends to. I'm so excited. My doctor is supposed to be the best. They have also given me Dietary Food Supplements and protein bars to begin taking after the surgery. Recovery Pak for soft tissue related injury, Lip Dissolve an enhancer to burn fat and Lipid-X to increase lean muscle. I will post before pictures later today.

I'm very excite! One week from now I will have thinner thighs and a round butt!

December 8, 2012 - 6 days before surgery. I've posted my before pictures. Lots of dimples and wrinkling of my thighs front and back. A lot of things that my Dr. and Surgery Coordinator Lillian has told me, wasn't told to me the first time I had regular lyposuction in my thighs. Because I didn't wear the compression garment long enough nor did the recommend ultrasound massaging, that is why the fat came back in that form. As I stressed before, I don't like wearing pants anymore and I'm also embarrased to get undressed in front of my boyfriend.

Today I went out and purchased chicken broth, chicken soup, cranberry juice, bottled water, plenty of large black towels for my bed and car (don't want to mess my pretty towels up) and a black jogging suit to wear home (recommended by the Dr.). I also brought a lose fitting jogging suit to wear home. I also brought some ultra thing pads to place over my incisions as recommended by many people in the forum.

I'm just trying to get things done so I won't have to do them during my recovery. My last day in the office isThursday, December 13 but our department party is that day also and I will not be able to have any cocktails. Bummer, but that is okay. Very Excited!!

Hi. I read your story and have a few questions if u don't mind. I had a tummy tuck 10 weeks ago and am very happy with the results. I am now going in for lipo of my inner and outer thighs. I am like you, so unhappy with the thickness of my thighs. Can u tell me if u were happy with your leg lipo? I know u gained weight back But were u initially happy? We're your legs firm? I work out everyday but my legs are still not firm and I do have cellulite. Why did u choose vaser lipo? Any info would be so helpful. Thank u

Vaser lipo has less bruising and incisions are very small. I would love to see you gals results, b/c I too, am not a fan of my thighs....... Hope all goes well in surgery.....

Hi Tawnycakes, I will post pictures after my surgery. I forgot to answer your other question about why I chose vaser lypo. I didn't but my Dr. suggested it because vaser lypo will have a better affect on my skin retracting back so that it will not sag as much.

I had lost weight so there was fat that he did suck out of my thighs, but I didn't wear the compression garment long enough. I was happy with my body after the surgery and swelling went down. I didn't take long. I inherited my mother thighs and my skin as I got older was not as firm. I find out everything is genetics. I really like this facility because I have to go back after my surgery for 6 session for ultrasound massage theraphy. That was an additional $200 dollars. They have also given me food supplement (protein shakes), recovery packs, mucle improvement pills and other fat burner pills to take after my surgery.

We ladies tomorrow is the day of my surgery. I have to be there at 9:30 a.m. I'm so excited. I pretty much got everything I need. Tonight before going to bed I'm going to get everything set up in my bedroom. I'm going to move the TV and DVR box from my office to my bedroom since I will spend most of my time over the course of the weeks laying on my stomach. I will also laydown sometimes on the couch in my living room to watch tv, but don't know how that will work and haven't tried it yet. I've been grocery shopping and have enough light food to last me a while, chicken, tilapia and chicken breast, soup, etc.

Wish Me Luck. I will have my computer in my room when I get home so I can update you all.
