I have to admit...this is the surgery I am the most worried about. I have really saggy thighs. And even though I've lost 100 pounds, my thighs remain stubbornly like tree trunks. I've never had teensy thighs. So I am scared that I'll be disappointed. I'm *hoping* that the thigh lift will give me smoother looking thighs, athletic-looking....I know they'll never be stick thin, I just hope they don't look like smaller wrinkly versions of what they are now! But Dr. Clark, great surgeon that she is - she did liposuction on my thighs twice before this thigh lift. So I know she is doing everything in her power to make them shapely!!!
A word about the price....

As you can see on the title at the top, it says 40k...just wanted to clarify that is for ALL 3 surgeries, not just one...

I am now 2 weeks PO from my 2nd surgery with Dr. Christa Clark. I have an interesting situation, because I had 2 hernias repaired back in April plus a tummy tuck --- by a different doctor because of my insurance paying for the hernia. Don't like to speak ill of docs, but can NOT recommend the TT with the other doctor (Dr. Lim). He did a decent job, but my belly button was pretty ugly, he didn't remove enough skin, and although he did a pretty extreme muscle repair --- oh man, I was in PAIN and the Norco was not cutting it! I have a pretty high pain tolerance and I was in tears after that operation. I wanted to go back to Dr. Clark and the Percocet so bad. But I muscled thru it (pun intended). Fast forward to July -- I decided to do a full LBL with Dr. Clark and in advance of my thigh lift she added liposuction. WHAT A DIFFERENCE with Dr. Clark! It was a long surgery, but I had very little nausea and pain. I was on Percocet for about 5 days, then switched to Tylenol. Dr. Clark took 3.5 pounds off my tummy and back side! And - she made the cutest little round belly button. :-) Wahoo! I'll have to see if I can post some pictures of me CLOTHED. Sorry - I am way, way, way too shy to post naked pics of myself. That was probably the hardest part of my surgeries so far...taking the naked pictures with the nurse, LOL!!! But maybe I can find some clothed before & after pics. Again, I have to say that following the post-op instructions to the "T" is a must. I wear my CG all the time. I have the kind of CG that is crotchless and zips up the sides. The wonderful thing about Dr. Clark is that the CGs are included in her price - she gives me 2 CGs so you can swap them out while cleaning.
