Hi and thanks for reading my post. I waited exactly 6 weeks after my TT and BL. Everyone is different and heals at different speeds. My drains were out on day 7 and I was back to work the next day, walking on the treadmill after work by week 2. I mention this only because my doctor was so amazed at my recovery that he agreed to do the thigh lift that early after the surgery. I might be a freak of nature:-)

Best of luck:-)

Who did your thigh lift? I live in IA but would be willing to travel to find someone who's done lots of them. The other Dr I see with great reviews is in Houston so maybe you're dr is closer to me.

Thank you so much for sharing. Your body...wow!! I have no words! It's amazing and you look utterly incredible. OK so I did have words! Your review has made me very excited about my own TL which I'm planning on having next year. Thank you again xx

Thigh Lift - 30 days post op

Hello! Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of weeks:-( I'm doing fantastic! Starting to feel like my old self again - which I need very badly. First the BL and TT and 6 weeks later the thigh lift - omgosh I'm so ready to just feel normal again! Do normal things without thinking "wait...is that over 10 lbs? maybe I shouldn't lift that" or looking for a really good parking spot because the thought of walking is scary.

Okay so last week I started walking and I mean walking a lot. Yesterday I walked 2.8 miles on the treadmill and my daily total on my fitbit was 5.6 miles. In 10 days I've went from walking 2.5 miles total in a day to over 5.5 miles. Started walking with slow steps and everyday picked up speed and my legs feel 100%. No pulling, tightness, tugging, nothing! My incision lines are completely healed, knock on wood I never had an issue with them. They look pretty darn good (yes, yes I'll try and take pictures of me this weekend).

UPDATE Z WAVE THERAPY - so today I'm go to my PS to try Z Wave Therapy on my tummy tuck scar. It's suppose to help with scar tissue. I have 4 - 5 a little bigger then a pencil eraser and no matter how much I massage they don't get better. So it's $45.00 for 30 minutes so what the heck I'll give it a try a few times and see what happens.

Again, I'll try and have some new pictures up next week:-)

You look great! I also need a thigh lift after weight loss, but I'm a little afraid. I have had a lower body lift. Feel so much better

Two week follow-up

A few people ask if I could tell a difference in the way my legs look now vs. before. So I'm posting pictures of what I saw in a certain position that actually convinced me to have the surgeries.

Joke if you will but if your honest you know what I'm about to say is true! Many months ago I was on my knees in a certain sexual position ( stop laughing) and when I looked down I saw my stomach, boobs and thighs flapping away. Seriously... it might look fabulous from the other view but from my view it was terrible! I was actually turning myself off!

About a week before surgery I had a couple of pictures taken of me in that position to show what I saw. After the tummy tuck and breast lift I took another photo in that position and you can see my thighs better. Last picture is after my tummy tuck and thigh lift...YES in the same position! LOL! I think soon I might turn myself on again:-) I also really miss my tan!

P.S. If you can't tell I joke and laugh a lot and am not shy in the least! Hope I don't seriously offend anyone.

LMAO I totally get what your saying!!!!! That thought crosses my mind EVERY TIME! Until I actually asked my husband and his answer was "believe me when I say, I have no idea how your legs or stomach look cause I stare at your boobs and ass"... needless to say, I had a breast lift w/ implants and I'm pending my TT. Hown bad does the TT hurt??????

I love when woman talk open! Honestly the TT didn't hurt at all. I had a silly complication that no one but me would get. My body actually created a cavity around my drainage tube - image a tunnel if you will. The darn thing still hurts. The PS actually went in 2 weeks ago when he did my leg lift and broke it up, took some fat from by back and filled it with fat. Last week he shot steroids in it. I have nicknamed it "my evil twin" . Other then that weird complication it was no big deal. Go for it!

The pain or lack of, is worth the results. I called my tummy tuck a discomfort not pain.
February 19, 2016
Looking good. Scars are healing very well.

Hi charms1234 who did your thigh lift? Wishing you a speedy recovery
February 23, 2016
What doctor did your surgeries? You look great. I'm planning a tummy tuck and would like your opinion since you've already had the procedure and I'm in the Louisville area also.
February 24, 2016
Thank you for being so upfront and real! I appreciate your openness.
