41yrs Old, 14 Stone Weight Loss, Thigh Lift Required! - Southampton, GB

Hi, yes it was! Currently laid in my hospital bed. I spent 10 hours in surgery, finally back to room at 1am this morning. I cannot recommend and praise Nigel enough! He is a perfectionist. He was and is very reasuring and attentive. At your first consulation he will really listen to you and what your hoping to achieve from surgery, and then he will give you a very honest response as what result you will get. This is my 2nd time with Nigel, and I will be coming again in the spring so he can complete my surgery with a lateral thigh life and bottom lift. I've posted some photos of myself before last years surgery, and I'll post a photo taken of me yesterday, after Nigel had grafittied all over me! He has taken more off my arms and abdomen as he wanted to achieve a better look. He did Predict that he was probably going to do revisions, so this an ongoing project. He came and saw me this morning, and told me that he removed 6lbs of skin! Yikes. What surgery are you considering? X

Great to hear you're out the other side of surgery and doing ok! Good to know you rate Nigel highly too! I had a consultation with mr Kahn at spire Southampton but wasn't too sure. This week I've seen Jeremy hurren at the Nuffield and liked him much more, but now think I might have a consultation with Nigel horlock before I decide!
So you went in for the medial thigh lift but he did revisions to your arms and tummy? Presumably you knew he was doing that? And did he charge extra for it or is it all part of the original cost?
Altogether I'm looking to do tummy, thighs, arms, and boobs/bra line back lift. Like you this is after big weight loss.
Did I have your tummy, breasts and arms all done in one surgery before? And how was the recovery? Particularly having a young child? (I do too!). You look amazing in your pictures, you must be thrilled! Xx

Hi, i had arm uplift, breast uplift, and a fleur d lys tummy tuck at the same time. Spent 4 nights at spire until physio and nigel were happy to let me go home. At the time I had a 2yr old & 3 yr old, actually it was ok with help from friends and parents, pre school and a childminder a couple of hours a week, we managed! I slept in an electric recliner for about 5 weeks, which worked well for me. I pretty much felt completely back to normal after 6 weeks i think? I had follow up progress checks with Nigel, who warned me that I would probably need revision surgery as mine was a particulary large op (loads of excess skin) before surgery he said he was expecting revisions to get me right. And yes the revisions to my arms and tummy tuck were included in the original cost. Very happy with the results, but i cant wait until i am completed! Looking forward to posting pics when i'm finally finished!!

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?
