Had TT Now Going for Thigh Lift August 19, 2011.

I'm thinking it will be knee to groin. I've asked PS office about that and for before/after photos of thighs he has done, because his web site does not show any, but have yet to hear back on that. Thank you for the encouragement. This is a very big leap and I am nervous and scared about it.

You'll be brand new old and you can find a sugar daddy to help out! LOL How did your appt go today?

Oh my, starting to feel like I'm emerging from a long dark sleep into something new and bright! Hey a sugar daddy sounds wonderful, it sure would beat working until I'm 90! LOL. And I'd really like the male companionship.
Why do I get so nervous and worked up before doctor appointments? Darn my nerves! Then the minute I see him, I'm all calm and no more gut turmoil. I'm like this at all doc appointments. Should have seen me the first day I met PS - was a complete wrecked bundle of nerves and tripped over things!
PS said the extra skin on my backside would be a 'body lift' and require about 2 more hr of surgery. Compared to TT and inner thigh lift, it would be a piece of cake. He said thigh lifts aren't done much & understood if I wanted to seek PS with more experience with them, but I much prefer to continue with him. I know he has only been practicing about 8 years, but he had to have his first nose, his first face lift, first breast, etc. Have to start somewhere. I believe he is up to the challenge and is meticulous and very focused and skilled. I'm comfortable with him. Can't wait. Told him I want 10 lb off by Sept, so I got my work cut out for me. He told me not to beat myself up over the ab and pain in tummy, that I am doing good.

There you go he told you! Quit beating yourself up! You have done such a great job. And 10 lbs is doable just gotta get your knees up and running again. I as well need to get back on track and tone up my legs and arms everything is getting flabby again wth no exercise this last 5 weeks. :0(

Do da do da! LOL One foot infront of the other seems so simple yet so hard to do some days LOL

I checked with another PS office that is based 4 hr away who also comes near my area once a month, & he also posts to RealSelf, but ran into same thing: no, the website does not have thigh lift photos, yes you still have to travel to their surgery center, and this is just not a common surgery. The PS I had for TT is with two other PS and one of them has done thigh lifts, according to some of her Realself question/answer responses. I'm still comfortable with current PS & decision to do this, but will Google more on it. I think PS would have said "no" if he wasn't comfortable with the procedure and with me. I do want to be VERY prepared. With my metal knee, infections are NOT allowed as they can settle in the knee, so that is a concern. Thigh lift is 2.5 hr and arms/breasts is 4.5 hr. Since date & surgery time are booked, need to make final decision real soon!

I don't know which surgery I would do first. That's a touch call. Maybe the one that heals the fastest would be my first choice. I have seen people get a thigh lift & breasts done in one surgery, and then get arms & body lift in the back done in a 2nd surgery. Having faith in your PS is half the battle. I'm sure you'll make the right decision.

My 80 yr. old aunt just had a knee replaced so I will pass on the info about infection.

Because of the metal knee joint, I have to take a strong antibiotic prior to EVERY teeth cleaning at the dentist, forever...it is a little weird.
