I am 45, no kids, but had fairly high volume liposuction about 12 yrs ago. The surgery set me in the right direction and I've lost another 30 lbs. I am the fittest I've ever been but now my body looks deflated. Considering a TT but my inner thighs are a mess (PS sucked out WAY too much) and will probably need to be dealt with it in another procedure. i am excited about the potential of not having a muffin top but also know what PO feels like. I hear a TT is way worse. So I am scared and excited and want to find the right PS.

I saw PS1 but the nurse was really biotchy. She didn't smile and just seemed altogether annoyed with her job. PS1 took photos and evaluated me. He was no-nonsense and I barely had any questions. Partially because it was 8am but also because I get how it goes, and figured I'd cover more in appt 2.

He said he would do a TT first to see if that lifts the thighs, and if not a separate thigh lift might be needed. i get what he was saying but he also mentioned that I might need a butt lift too in the future. This is it for me, though. I can go through one surgery and that's it. Can't bear another 2! Just hope that if I go with a TT, that it doesn't make other areas look super weird.

Going to see PS2 next week. And then I will make a final decision.

Welcome to the community.  

Continue to do your research on the doctors.  You need to be completely comfortable with the doctor and their staff.  Take it one procedure at a time if your not sure.  I know you will love not having the muffin top.  

The excuses I have heard the most are hernia repair and back surgery.

Consultation wth PS2 went well. But the 2 dr's I met are completely different. Different personalities and the recommended procedure(s) were different too! Not sure if this means I need to find a 3rd opinion. Tough decision.
