3 Months post-op and some thoughts

Had my 3 month post op and said good bye to my surgeons.
WORTH IT$6,375
I had my 3 month post op Friday and said good bye to my surgeons. They're graduating and moving on to practices. They were pleased with my incisions healing and over all results. I expressed my concern with the high scar with the little dog ear that sticks out of my pants waist band. I didn't really get an answer. I was told last appointment that I could get the pockets of fat lipo'd in the office with local anesthesia at no cost since it was part of my package. This visit, I was told that I needed more aggressive lipo and a long incision thigh lift (which I'm not interested in). I just want the saddlebag area lipo'd like I had requested. I'm not going to have aggressive lipo on the front of my thighs. I've seen the results of this and I don't like the wavy, lumpy look...not to mention the additional sagging that I would get. I want to look into a crescent lift with the groin scars. I'm not sure my thighs are so far gone that they wouldn't be improved with this procedure. I've actually seen worse before and they got pretty nice results. I have an appointment in 3 months and after a lot of exercise this summer, targeting my legs, I'll have to see.....Other than that, I'm feeling good and my scars are slowly fading. My scars normally take longer than most to fade and I'm allergic to every scar treatment I've found, so I'll continue to use coconut oil. I hope all you wonderful and beautiful ladies are doing well! :-)

I wish I had the vertical tt now

I can't blame mine on weight gain. It's just my skin isn't the same after 2 big babies and gaining and losing weight...not to mention I'm not 30 anymore ;)

I think being totally flat while sitting is not something we can expect after a certain age and weight gain/loss. I have a bit of something I can grab while sitting as well, but I honestly expected it! Your thighs DO look better than before, and you could always do a thigh lift if it really bothered you. Ask your self this: did you ever think you could wear a bikini top and a skirt, even?!!!!! You look so much better!

Thank you! I do look and feel soooo much better. My thighs actually look so much worse in person and it's the only thing I won't be able to live with. I wasn't expecting to be 100% flat and the only way it was an option was with a fleur/vertical TT which wasn't an option for me. I just checked out your review and you look great!

You had very nice results and can always get your TT revised to a body lift to address the outer thighs and a medial thigh lift to address the rest. That is what I ended up,doing. It all depends on what you want to achieve. I would have been happy with the tummy tuck but I am ecstatic now to have done everything. Thanks for sharing your story!

Yes I am 99% happy with my results and I think either a thigh lift or extending the incision may be the answer. I've never regretted doing this for 1 second. Thank you for your kind words and advice.

Darling when I'm in my truck with my seatbelt on the skin on my tummy goes over it and my hubby teases me. I think if you get ur thighs done to the way you want them , you'll be happy. You already have great results!! ;•}

Thanks honey! The little pooch I have when I sit is not an issue. I'm loving life and totally agree I'll be totally satisfied with a little tweaking of my thighs.

Looking good. Thighs are a hard to take part of a woman's body. Even with my weight loss and muscle gain, I still have giggly legs. The definition in your stomach is amazing.

I agree about the thighs. Mine seem to be getting worse even with all the working out I do. I know having a lift is the only thing I can do to correct them, and it has to be the right Dr. as well.
