So I just got a notification from Facebook that it’s been about 3 years since my thigh lift so I thought I would post a few pictures for people to see go well you heal. I had a lot of surgeries and I’m happy to talk about any of them. My last surgeries which will be coming p on he to year anniversary in November are the bra lift and reverse tummy tuck. Those last two I’m still on the fence about but overall I definitely cannot complain.

Hi..I had a thigh lift in October and I'm healing great but i'm having terrible nerve pain. Did you experience this and if yes how long did it last? You look great and I am hoping you feel great

Well here I am healing again, but keep telling myself it’s the last time! I am off all prescription pain meds. Stopped them after about a week an half. The surgeon did tighten my stomach muscles from the top which is really tight now. Hate that feeling but know will ease with time. I am swollen, hate when that happens but knew it would. My breasts look a bit different but I’m hoping it’s just the swelling and will relax back to themselves as I heal and the swelling goes down. The doctor also said that my breasts will go back to normal as I heal! I had to ask! I still have my friend the binder and I’m still sleeping on my back with a pillow under my knees propped up a bit, can’t wait to sleep on my side again! My scars are looking beautiful this time around. I think I will be happy with them when they heal! Well hope everyone else healing well too!

Tiny, I never got the notification that you posted an update. You look amazing. I am still on the fence about my thighs and chin lipo. Hugs to you.

Surgery from November 27th!

Ok my surgeries happened on November 27th. I was a bit nervous going in but the people at this surgery center are wonderful. I was in and out pretty quickly and am home healing up! The doctor did tighten my stomach muscles at the top so it’s a bit more painful. Of course there is swelling so will have to wait to see how thing look as the swelling goes down. My stomach is very flat now which I’m loving! Still on the pain meds but think I will start cutting them back a bit! We move this Thursday so I’m tying to try rest as much as I can now! Here are a few photos! Will post more and let you guy know how the-move goes!
