Getting Back to Me! - Denver, CO

I do! my mom literally lives next door so thank God i am blessed with her help! its going to be really hard w the little ones...i wish i could have done it later but i know i cant wait that much longer cuz i am depressed w myself as it is lol! and i couldnt believe how fast i got in either! its a little scary actually not much time to prepare i only have 3 full days left! Are you scheduled sometime as well? and where are you from? sry it took me so long to respond!

Oh No now im scared of the lipo!! Did you bruise badly?? ive seen some horror pics of the lipo. That stinks that the skin sagged, im conflicted cuz right now my thighs rub together and i cant take it anymore :( Dr wolfes work looks amazing! im hoping dr vath's is just as good! he is so nice! Is there any kind of advice you can give me as far as recovery or anything you did right before surgery?? thanks so much for posting! I only have 3 full days til surgery and i am scared to death but also excited for the outcome!

The lipo on my inner thighs was something that I added at the last second. My thighs too rubbed together and I thought this was the answer. Unfortunately I didn't do any research first. So now my thighs don't rub together, the fat is gone out of it, but the skin doesn't just shrivel up and disappear...it just shrivels up LOL. So,the way a deflated balloon looks, well that is what my inner thighs look like now. I have been back for a new consult to see about a thigh lift which is gonna be another many thousands of dollars. I don't think I would be considering that had I just not done the lipo to start with. Pretty frustrating...I don't even feel comfortable wearing shorts now, looks bad :-/
The bruising is insane! Looks way worse than it feels. I looked like one of the characters from the Nightmare before Christmas with all the cuts...it's like a patch work quilt! (lol...a character who had also been run over by a tractor trailer!) The strangest thing to be prepared for is not being able to stand upright for a couple weeks. You'll walk around bent forward since the skin needs to heal and stretch. Makes for a pretty bad backache. All in all though, for doing everything in a day, the pain was pretty minimal and I am a baby when it comes to pain. A week after my surgery I flew to Arizona for a trip I won at work. I was dancing and hanging out in the hot tub with zero pain. (the hot tub actually felt amazing on the incisions) Speaking of incisions, it's crazy, but they are such tiny thin lines now...looks amazing! You will be absolutely thrilled with the results. Even though I don't love my thighs, the rest made up for it. You won't be disappointed. Oh and the only other thing I can think of it...when the say don't be shocked when you see your boobs for the first time and they look like they're screwed up and put them in your neck, lol...they aren't lying. I had heard it takes about 6 months for them to finish droping into place and looking natural, that was SO true! For months after surgery I was worried they were stuck there forever as chin rests. Then when one started dropping a little faster I worried about that cause I thought I was gonna be lopsided, but they have settled in very nicely and I don't think anyone would ever guess I have implants :)
Good luck! Compared to having babies...this is cake!

Thanks you so much for your detailed reply! I'm a little worried about the lipo but thanks to u I will def ask him about this tomorrow! I hope it turns out good I'm so nervous right now I can't even think straight! Lol I hope I have everything I need for recovery!

Thanks for your honesty about your procedure. I've been considering those same ones but will now think twice about the lipo

i read so many reviews that daid lipo was a waste but i wanted so badly to get rid of the muffin tops... i can now honestly say it did nothing for me except cause a lot of pain! maybe if your morr fit it would take better but it was a waste of alot of money and agony for me! the tummy tuck i could not be happier with! it had given me so much more confidence! now if i could just get the rest of my body to match! good luck to you!!!

Thank you soo much! That means a lot!

Good luck at your preop! Make sure to ask all of the questions you need to cause I felt scared through the preop and missed my chance to ask a lot .. And now I'm going in surgery lol.. It's all I could think about also ! This site has helped me so much bc I had no one to talk to about it. Can't wait to hear how it goes! And I'll keep u posted on mine!
