My entire life I hated my legs. No matter what I did, I had fat knees , thunder thighs and saddlebags.
When I was around 26 (15 years ago), I went and met with a plastic surgeon. I told him I wanted my hips to my calves improved. He wouldn't do anything extensive and only agreed to do liposuction to my outer thighs. While he did get rid of my saddlebags, he was too aggressive and I ended up with large indents in the area under my butt, causing my entire butt to drop. I am basically deformed. 15 years later I still hate my legs and have this horrible issue with the large creases and indents in my gluteal fold. I workout 5 days a week and eat very healthy and can never fix my legs.
I met with a couple plastic surgeons over the summer. The first said he had no idea how to fix me, the second said I looked fine. I finally met with Dr. Toy, who completely understood my issues and how to fix them and finally give me nice looking legs! I will be having liposuction to my bilateral lateral thighs, medial thighs, anterior thighs, posterior thighs with fat grafting to my upper posterior thighs and gluteal crease.

One week until surgery

sungrl
My surgery is in exactly one week. I've done my pre op appointment with my family doctor, had my blood work done, and tomorrow is my pre op with Dr Toy.
I'm having a lot of mixed emotions. On one hand I'm excited...I've lived this way for so long I can't even imagine feeling good about my lower body. On another hand I'm scared. I can't even imagine how I will feel if it doesn't turn out well. I'm not hoping for miracles but great improvement is my hope...not worse. Since I've been botched already it scares me. I also know what is in store pain wise since I've been through it before and I'm dreading recovery. I think I'm pretty prepared...and I'm hoping the pain isn't as bad since this is a different method, but I am not holding my breath for that. I just hope the Percocet doesn't make me sick. I remember vomiting after my surgery last time, and that was with local anesthetic...this time I'll have general and that's generally worse.
But I'm trying to think positive and imagine having nice legs for the first time. I hope I will wear shorts for the first time since childhood! I imagine knees that don't stick out on the sides and thighs that don't rub together. If I end up with nothing more than that I'll be happy but if the fat grafting also works out I'll be thrilled! Speaking of that, I'm a bit worried about staying off that area for several weeks...not even sure how!!! It's not like a BBL, I'm having fat grated to the area under my butt. Driving won't be possible for a while...that will be the biggest challenge!

Good luck! I know surgery can be scary, whether it's cosmetic or necessary. You have to be positive, and that will help your outcome and healing process. Fat grafting Has to be better than liposuction...
I'm excited to see your after pictures.

Obsessed with my surgery

sungrl
I had my pre op appointment, it went really well. I'm super excited for the outcome. Paid the bill...that hurt! :). Got all my prescriptions and filled them, but now I'm just spending all my time obsessing over the surgery, looking at photos, worrying about stuff I need to get done, worrying about recovery. It's a long weekend with my family so hopefully it goes by fast. Then there is just one day left. My surgery is 7am on Wednesday.
