Well I've learned if you want it bad enough anything is possible. I forgot to add total body lift and breast augmentation with lipo was $17,000 that's procedure, hospital, anesthesia, and compression garments plus follow up apts.
Lower body lift is where they cut you all the way around. The incision is made to where if you wore a bikini the top of it totally covers the scars. I describe it as when they cut wedge out of a tree then sew it back together. They also go in and tighten all muscles in the areas. They pull thighs up on inside and out. This is why you have to walk at an angle for awhile til you can stretch to stand up straight. You sleep at an angle also. It is a big procedure. I was in surgery for 9 hours. Cost was not covered by insurance.
Im new here but maybe my experience can help some people. I had rny on July 23, 2008. I lost 160 lbs. On march 23, 2010 I had a total lower body lift and breast augmentation at the same time. The breasts was fairly easy but the body lift is no joke. The first couple weeks are brutal. I personally think Im a little to tight. I find myself walking a bit slumped to ease the pull which is hard on low back. I guess Id do it again because I had lots of skin hanging. Ill be happy to answer any questions honestly.
