I'm scheduled for a BA, TT and flank Lipo in Dec. 19th. I'm going with 550 HP silicone implants and I'm 5'7, 150lbs! I can't wait but I'm extremely nervous. Do any of you recommend flank Lipo at the same time as TT? I've heard some bad stories about having them done together as far as healing, worse swelling and more complications. Is it worth the extra 2000 for the lipo?

Yes.....in my opinion do it all. Check out my profile, I had Lipo of flanks only, along with TT and BL, 3 weeks ago, and could not be happier! My waist and hips flow together now. Love it, and the Lipo pain was not so bad really. For me at least

I feel your anxiety! I am having full TT on the 19th too. Reading on RS 24/7 has been informative but making me more nervous statue same time. I am trying to keep positive thoughts and know that I am in good hands with my doctor.

I think you're going to so great. Looks like you're fully prepared. I know what you mean about the emotions going crazy though. It's very exciting and scary at the same time. I just try to think of all the positive things whenever those "what ifs" creep into my head. I'll be thinking of you for your surgery. Mine is on dec 22nd so I'm right after you. Good luck! : )
