Still happy I did it... I walked for hours in D.C. Wearing a dress the other day. I thought about how this would not have been possible without shorts on, before my thigh lift. The flatter tummy is an added bonus. I still feel better with a girdle, because I have been wearing one for 27 years! It's like a security blanket and I feel more polished with one on... I successfully talk myself out of wearing one as time goes on!
I could do better with my workouts... I still workout regularly, but I expected to be pushing myself more now that I had the work done!
The added lipo 2 months ago was an improvement. I'm sure I'm the only one that noticed!
I would just say that it is important to just let things heal without looking at it too much (easier said than done! I know!)
And massage your scars! I was stressed about the location of my groin scars and they eventually migrated up... My TT scar is darker than I would have liked, but I'm just happy and grateful... I did not have major complications and I am better than I was before!
Happy healing RS!

Hi seem like you're healing good. I had tt and tl in 2014. My surgery went well. Tt came out great really flat. Couldn't say that for my tl cause it didn't take as well. Needless to say I went back in and had a revision 11/11/16 and omg the recovery process was too much to handle.... no drainage tubed. Drained from the back of my left thigh for 6wks. Incision opened up on both thighs. Left thigh was really deep and long. I visited my PS once a wk. He finally had me to start packing them. Now they're almost closed. Scars look bad to me but hopefully they'll start to flatten and smooth out. Part of my cooch on the left side is attached to my thigh. Seems like he maybe cut to much tissue and had to stretch my cooch skin to make up the difference buy it will be addressing this issue with him again on monday. I had stitches this time. No staples. Skin feel like it's tight and pulling so when I hv to pee in stream straight out like a male. Styrofoam cup has been my best friend especially when I'm out cause I don't sit on toilets. Trying to squat to pee is a No No for me cause urine go straight to the floor.... all of it.... Now I hv better luck when I sit on my toilet. I'm hoping this is because of the pulling and tightness. Once the skin and incisions loosen up maybe it will correct itself. Appears that he took to much tissue but I could be wrong. Swelling has gone dwn tremendously. Use to be my legs feet and ankles would swell. All that's back to normal. A lil swelling in the back of my thighs where the openings areally. Just waiting for those to heal completely. Just sharing my story to let you know that you are not alone. It could be much worse. As far as the attached cooch idk if I even want him to fix it because of all the complications. U can't see it until I spread my legs open. Im glad about that. Overall my tl looks really good. I think I'm sexy until Im naked... lol. Oh my incision is from the back of my thighs where my hips are all the way around under my butt to the top of my mons.... didn't know he was lifting the anterior but I'm glad he did. That made it difficult to sit and poop that struggle was real.... lol. They removed the stitches almost 3wks ago so it's much easier to sit on something hard but still a little uncomfortable. I had to remember from the 1st surgery to elevate my legs which helped with the swelling and I was up every 2hrs peeing.... signing off... Rhonda

Sorry to hear about those issues... having the sutures open up on the TL was a [RS bleep] and very scary! I really not mentally prepared for that type of [RS bleep] on my boobs though! Surgery went well from what can tell now. I can take off the main bandages on 1/8/17... I will no more then! I'm pretty much done with this review and onto my second one... I will come back to update on my scars and my 1 year mark in April! Happy healing to you!

Every surgery brings a new level of stress! I'm trying to keep cool and wait for the healing to happen!

I had a consult for a Breast lift (will be a new review) with the same doctor and thought I would inquire about added lipo to my tummy on the problem hip areas I've been complaining about. I went on December 19. I decided to go forward with it and scheduled a date for January 27th. I went for my pre-op on December 28th and changed it to the next available date of January 6th.
Nervous mainly because of being put to sleep and hoping for a nice outcome, but I feel good about his work.
My PS isn't charging me for the lipo, just added anesthesia. It was an additional $200+ bucks and I am totally fine with that!
Still happy with my results overall. Not happy with the break I'm going to have to take from the gym though!
Happy new year RS! Enjoy yourself and happy healing in the new year!

Oh Stormy! I am so excited for you! I have to say I did not really think about my breasts until I started to go for my consults! I just had a breast lift but I am so happy and pleased that I did them! I had not realized how flat they were! I was nervous about losing feeling in my breasts but my surgeon was great and I still have all the sensitivity in my breasts! You are going to do great! I can wait to see your results!

Thank you mermaid! I'm concerned about that also! I'm more excited than anything though! Your bravery makes me less nervous! See you on the other side!!!
Great!
