WORTH IT$8,500
I have wanted a TT for YEARS. Have had this flesh apron since my second son was born, and he will be 39 in July. Went to the PS last November to talk to him about a TT and face lift, decided to have the face lift first because my grandson is getting married May 25th. I had the face lift on April 13th and am very happy with the results. (see my Face lift review). I have now told the surgery scheduler to put me oe calendar for September, can't wait, I know it will go by fast. I am feeling so good about myself since the facelift, TT will only make it better. Having the same PS, Dr Dong Joon Lee at Kaiser West LA hospital in Los Angeles do the surgery. It is a long drive from our home, but hubby likes results too and we both have confidence in him. When I get brave enough I will post some pics. Right now I am 5'2" and weigh about 155lbs, have started an exercise program to lose weight and tighten my abs, Dr Lee said the better shape the abs are in at the time of surgery, the better the results.

exercise working
I measured myself a couple of weeks ago before I started making the dress for my gr sons wedding. I was waist 36", abd 46", hip 43", measured again this ab and now waist is 34.5", abd 43", hip 41 1/2." Tightening those muscles up and feeling stronger after each workout.

I wish my surg was sooner
I am soooo looking forward to my surgery Speteer seems so far away at times. I know I will feel so much better about my body. I feel so much more confident after my face lift, this will be the icing on the cake, so to speak. Don't care if my tummy is totally flat, just that I get rid of my apron.

It's getting closer! I'm so excited for you! Make sure to take lots of before pics, they help on the days if you have lots of swelling and feel huge, then you look back and go, "Oh no, I'm looking tons better!". Your facelift is amazing and you look wonderful! Now you will have the body to go along with it! The total package! Can't wait to hear how you are doing!

I am so excited. and anxious. If I don't hear about a surg date by wednsday I will call them and check, the earlier in the month the better for me.
Welcome to the community. Wow you are going to be a new woman from head to toe:) Love it!!
Yes, exercise all you can now and this will help in recovery. I worked my abs like crazy before my tummy tuck and had an amazingly strong core. Was so glad for this during recovery. I am excited for you and can't wait to see all of your before and after pictures.
