Here are my before pics taken by spectrum the day of the surgery! As you can see the surgery removed a lot of the cellulite as well.

Yazna was great as a massage therapist. I had a thigh lift and a bbl done here and she made me feel so much better after these procedures. I was in a lot of pain afterwards and she relieved most of not all of the pressure and discomfort i was feeling

Were you able to walk and fly back home after 6 days?
June 28, 2017
Walking is very slow and i had the airline wheelchair me thru the airport. It wasn't the most comfortable flight since you are supposed to keep your legs elevated at that point to reduce swelling but, I made it.

The reason there is no backside pics

User Avatar
Timetoshine2017
The reason why I didn't post any backside pics is because the incision didn't have to go to the backside like it show in the diagram in my case which I'm happy about. I am waiting for the clinic to send me before pics so I can post those though.

After pic doesn't tell a person much without the before pictures. I didn't say anything about having a procedure. Happy healing !

I'm not here to argue with you about your procedure or before or after pic. Again all I'm saying is that it's good to have before and after pic.

I think your scars look amazing! I'm thinking that I might have to have the long scar because my inner thighs are so fat , I would really prefer to have the scar as you have, I'm going to contact the Dr. For a consultation. I've even been looking into going to DR for some work. I'm 53 years old, I've a TT,Breast reduction, arms done, because I lost 107lbs. All natural but looking good and then undressing and looking at these fatty ugly thighs makes me so depressed.

Well def go to a dr that specializes in thigh lifts and medial thighs lifts to see if it's possible. This surgery is a mental and physical mind [RS bleep] but it's worth it. The recovery can be tricky but if you follow the instructions to a T it comes out perfect. :)

February 26, 2017
I agree with you 100% the mental & physical mind F¥{€!!

February 26, 2017
Yea people don't get it until they go through it lol especially if you don't expect the incisions and how they will look initially, the pain level, the lack of mobility, the length of bedrest, etc etc etc and then the horror stories you read on real self and the internet of the what could happen to you during recovery is scary as [RS bleep] smh all you can do is pray

February 13, 2017
Wow you had a lot done I'm running to your page after I post this... the first two weeks as tough. I stayed in miami in a recovery house for six days then flew home. But now at three weeks post op I'm feeling much better. I had a bbl and a thigh lift done together. I'm going back for my breast lift with implants in August.

I went to your page but I don't see any of your pics did you take your pics down?
User Avatar
February 13, 2017
I didn't realize you had a bbl along with the thigh lift. That's exactly what I want next year. That's great!! Now I know he will do them at the same time

timetoshine i haven't taken any pics since this surgery or done a review yet. i've been of pain pills now and starting to feel better. I was not prepared for this. Thank you for sharing your story. Good luck continuing to heal.

I took my old pics down from surgery in 2015 (tt & ba) because like others my pics came up on google.

Omg your pics come up on google lord have mercy oh no
February 15, 2017
I don't know how old you are but your thighs look very young definitely not 80. I am also considering something like this. I am however much older (68) and have put on and lost weight many times. The fat lands in the thighs first. Lot of sagging skin and lumps and bumps. I had lipo 20 yrs ago and not such a good job. Right from the beginning I questioned him because of my inner thighs did not appear to have changed at all. I just lost 17 lbs and will loss about 15 more before I have surgery. I just don't know if I want to go threw that and will check out if cool sculpting would be an option.
