Lateral Thigh Lift and Butt Lift!

WORTH IT$11,000

So This has been a long old journey...I've lost 14stone in total, and as a reward I've been gradually having procedures to sort the lose excess skin. In 2015 I started with a fleur de lys abdomnoplasty, arm lift and breast reduction and lift. Then in September 2016 I had a medial thigh lift and reverse abdomnoplasty. Then last month April 2017, I had a lateral (outer thigh lift) and bum lift. Its still early days with scarring, swelling but the results are promisisng. I think I'm done now? Going to let everthing settle down and take a look next year incase anything needs tweeking. I suppose I am a little dissapointed with the way my scars have dropped after the medial thigh lift...blimmin gravity! But this is something i may get corrected?

Looks good, spooky your details came up today as I am having a thigh lift with Mr Horlock tomorrow (having had a TT & BL earlier this year)! It would be great to understand your journey post op, I'm getting nervous now, but just need to remind myself how much better it looked/felt daily and weekly post the first op.
Good Luck! Will update the post from time to time, say hi to Nigel from me!
i think its very important to look always from were you have started...i think you look great....as far as the medial thigh scars that have dropped lower , if this isnt going to be corrected , you can always cover them with beautiful tatoos(if you are font of them )........you are a winner....do not forget that!best wishes
OMG I think you look great - i've lost 12 stone but still need to lose at least another 3 - not sure at what weight the surgeon will consider surgery - I'm 55 scares the hell out of me but feel I wont be happy with myself until I get rid of this excess skin.. my worst place is tummy and inner thighs.. also not sure what sort of money I'm looking at so any tips you can give would be great...
also got horrible fat lumps on the top of my knee don't know if you had this

Hi - How was the initial recovery of the thighs? Any complications? How long was it until you could comfortably walk/drive/etc?
Looks great btw!
Hi, after surgery last september for the medial thigh (front) after about 10 days i was able to walk in a normal position, before that my surgeon wanted me to walk in a semi squat pose ( looked like i was skiing?). I felt pretty much back to normal after 3 weeks. Wore the compression garment after my medial thigh lift, for about 6 weeks. No complications, mastering using loo was interesting, sort of hovering position for a couple of weeks as sitting was too uncomfortable. Since having the lateral ( outer thigh lift) and butt lift, almost 4 weeks ago, recovery again has been pretty good, again day 10 is the turning point, but even now bending forwards is tricky and feels tight as though i'm pulling at the scars over my hips. But as far as pain goes, i havent needed to take any painkillers since the End of week 2? The only complication has been a small section of wound at the t-section just about my bottom which i'm having to keep a little dressing on, which is taking its time to heal. Any more questions just ask. X
Was driving after 2 and half weeks.
Thanks for responding so quickly. Glad you are doing well! I'm sure I'll have more questions soon - I'm getting the longitudinal lift in early August and am a little scared b/c I have a 3 year old and a soon to be 6 year old. I'm scared I won't be able to keep up with them/pick up toys etc. My husband will help but I'm nervous regardless
Getting in and out of the car tough at first?

Hope you have a pain free speedy recovery.
Hi
I had a medial thigh lift at the end of February. I am interested to speak with you regarding your results. I hope you are doing ok. I am happy to advise on recovery etc.

Glad you are in the mend and hoping you are recovering well. Im watching status with envy. Im curious about your marking just under breast. Did they lift your belly yo to join your breast area? I've always thought that when I get my reduction/lift that that is how I would like to care for my belly but didn't think they could do that.
Are you doun8g ok? Its been awhile since your surgeries?
