8 days post-op and I am so excited about my body

ORIGINAL POST

Soooo Happy! Amazing Experience. I'm Transforming in Front of my Own Eyes. Thanks Dr. Vega!

WORTH IT
My experience with Dr. Vega has been excellent! He is a master. From my first contacts with the patient coordinators (Ca. and Al.), receptionists, nurses, assistants, and chauffeurs, I have had such a great experience. I will name more people who are awesome down below, but I wanted to say what I had done first and my status. Right now I am 8 days post-op and I am so excited about my body! I had circular tummy tuck, BBL, and thigh lift with lipo. I only have before and after of the thighs and the stomach right now because I'm swollen. I can do another review or edit this one when the swelling goes down. I CANNOT believe these are my thighs. I can't believe it. I'm so happy. I will be able to wear short skirts without leggings for the frst time in many years. I will not be self-conscious in a bathing suit...it's amazing. I can't wait for summer to get here. I had cellulite, and a lot of fat, and also loose skin on my thighs from losing about 20 lbs 3 or 4 times. I didn't do anything to the breasts on this round (I already had implants from before, but I'm going to do a second round with Dr. Vega for arm lift with lipo and to replace my breast implants).
Aside from my amazing results, I would so highly recommend Dr. Vega and his staff because of their pre-op and post-op care and attention. Nurse Ar. is highly knowledgeable and answered my questions or gave me instructions any time of the day and late into the night. I stayed for 7 days in Bella Recovery Home (also highly recommended) and one of Dr. Vega's drivers (all great people, so caring, so helpful, they don't let you lift anything or do anything) came to get me almost every day so that Dr. Vega or the nurses could check my progress, dress my incisions, and answer my questions. I know some people never see their docs after surgery or only once!! I'm still going back all the time so they can check me, remove my stitches, etc. etc.
Dr. Vega and his staff really truly care about their patients and they are pretty strict so that you have the best chance to avoid complications etc. The whole entire staff is just amazing. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Do you have scars on your upper thighs from the lift?
I sure do. I have scars from my upper thigh to my knees - I had a lot of fat and skin. I told him to fix the legs all the way and not worry about the scar. The scars have already faded a lot. They will fade more. Scars and a good thigh lift go hand in hand. Vertical scars won’t get you great results. :)
Your photos are the best I've seen for the thigh lift! Congrats. Can you share what the scar looks like now and maybe what you hope it will look like a year from now? Also, how much did it cost? Prices here are all over the place.
You look amazing!!
Where is Dr Vega as your thighs look fabulous ! I’m looking for a thigh lift !
