Hello everyone! On December 23, 2015 I had a full tummy tuck and breast lift with implants (used the same ones I already had as they were only 3 years old) and February 1, 2016 I go in for a Medial Thigh Lift.

I've posted pictures of my breast and tummy procedures. Pics 4 days after and 4 weeks after. I've only had 2 issues.

The first being with my tummy tuck. I've been told that "the drain was clogged" so I have a hard painful area about 2 inches above my belly button and the doctor said that it needed to be "broken up and suctioned" so he is fixing that when I have my thigh lift in a few days. Honestly that has been the only really painful thing! I told the doctor weeks ago "if not for that one area I'd be doing jumping jacks".

second issue is that I have a small area under my right breast that has not healed due to "spitting stitches" hey I'm just telling you what I was told (stitches that the body has rejected). That area has been very sore and continues to be so. But it's doing much better in the last week.

My journey continues Monday with my thigh lift so I'll keep you updated:-)

p.s. the cost stated is for all three procedures. Happy to break it down if anyone would like to know.

Thanks for the nice comment. Breast and tummy were $17,000 which included everything. Thighs are a little over $12,000 but that also includes a little lipo on saddle bag area.

Good luck for your thigh lift. It is just the groin lift? Please post pics of scars (standing normally) to see how much of the skin down the leg is lifted? What are you hoping it will do for your legs, is it just the front you are concerned with? Any cellulite?

Same price as Calo Spa and I think he and Calo are the best in Louisville. You can't put a price on peace of mind:-)

I understand! I no longer live in KY since I moved to Florida the prices here are much less for the same quality! And when I had my consult with him they rescheduled twice due to him being "sick" so that made me feel weird.

Wow--amazing results. I didn't know a thigh lift could be performed. I'm looking forward to seeing what your incisions look like months down the road. Gives me ideas for future surgeries. ;)

Doctor cancelled my surgery

Well I'm sitting here in the hotel room that I booked for 10 days and 9 1/2 hours before surgery Dr. Salzman's office called and said the doctor was sick, surgery cancelled and could not tell me when they might rescheduled.

I'm out the money for the hotel, only had a ten day window to take off from the office and most important have been in pain for weeks due to the hardened area over my tummy and have waited patiently telling myself it would soon be fixed.

So...venting, crying and pretty sure my window of time to do the thigh lift is now gone until next year.

Hello and thanks for asking. Rescheduled for 11:30 am tomorrow. I'm a little nervous as that only leaves me 12 days before I have to return to work. So I really hope I have no complications! I'm going to try and post pictures Thursday.

Thanks

Thigh lift was rescheduled for February 3, 2016. So I'm about 12 hours away! Excited to get the thigh lift but more excited to have the painful area above my belly button taken care of!

I'll post pictures in a couple of days.
