$24,999
I have lost 65 lbs thru Diet and Exercise, took me 2 years. Im currently 133 lbs, 5'1. Married with Children and very active, Runs, 3-4x Functional Training.
I am 6wks post TT from overseas and now I am looking at doing my thighs esp Inner Thighs, a little of my lose arms, side of chest (bra bulge). After spending long hours of research from RealSelf, Obesity Help and other online sites including Doctor's sites, I think the following are the procedures I need:
Lower Body:
1. LBL w/ Butt Aug, maybe use Back Flaps (no TT since im happy with mine) to address the butt sagg and a bit of the lower back as well and a bit of the back, sides and front thigh, although mine isnt that bad (except for the butt)
2. Spiral TL to address my utmost concern - Inner Thigh!
Upper Body:
3. Breast Lift (No implants)
4. J-Lift to address the side of chest (bra bulge area) which is also a big concern of mine
5. Mini Arm Lift that hopefully connects to the J-Lift and to the Breast Lift anchors
Other:
6. If theres still time, Id like a whole body Hi-Def Lipo as well, I dont have that much fat anymore, just definition is what Im after.
I want to do all in one operation. I hope its doable considering Im NOT having a TT and a long Arm Lift nor a vertical TL.
I am looking at Dr. Siamak Agha, Dr. Timothy Katzen or Dr. Fisher. Although I am gearing towards Dr Agha or Dr Katzen as they are within my area (Southern California) but Dr Fisher's results is as amazing.
I hope someone can help me choose the right PS for me.

How far apart did he recommend you space the 2 stages? Was it 6 to 8 weeks recovery time total for both surgeries or for each stage it was 6 to 8 weeks? Thank you for sharing your journey!

What was the price quote for the two phased surgeries above? Really appreciate the info. Thank you!

Phone Consult #2 Done - Dr. Katzen
I just apoke with Dr. Katzen and here's what he plans for me:
*One Surgery totalling 10Hrs:
- Crescent Thigh Lift (he doesnt think I need a Vertical)
- Breast Lift with Internal Sutures
- Arm Lift and Torsoplasty - some refers to it as J-Lift
I asked about the LBL and he said I might just need a Posterior Body Lift considering that I already have a TummyTuck but thinks its too much to add it in my Surgery as it will take another 3hrs. I did asked about the Butt Augmentation and he doesn't recommend "Butt Flaps" as it doesn't go well overtime (I need opinion from ladies out there that had this procedure done please), he recommends Implants but I wont go that far, no Impants on my booties ever!

If you haven't already, research 'onedimsim' she had the dermal flap buttocks augmentation in 2014. (I believe that's correct).

Yes I have seen quite a lot of ladies with "butt flaps", I may ask them personally on how theyre doing esp those that had their surgeries for over a year already! I hope youre enjoying your prize! By now, you should be a lot better! Im so happy for you!

Thanks! I'm doing pretty good. Wasn't able to get drains removed today but otherwise everything looked great.

Hi there, I had a lower body lift 3 years ago with auto augmentation using my own tissue, I am still thrilled with the results, in fact the more time that passed , the more natural looking it became! Best of luck during this very exciting time!
