Preparing For Lower Body Lift With Anchor Incision



Recommended Posts

I'm having a breast lift with implants and a neck lift in August (total $7900 with all costs except travel and the recovery boutique) and then a thigh lift at about $3000 probably in October. Then the arms... I was totally shocked at how good my stomach came out! All of my stretch marks are gone and that picture is with swelling.

Wow skinny Jill that's a lot. I ate really healthy before and took lots of Vitamin c. I think it's different for everyone. I did a lot of research and so I expected a lot of pain. Oh, wear the compression garment all of the time.

Karen, Your TT is fantastic, I'm having a facelift in Cancun August 7th. My face seems to have dropped terribly I guess a combination between weight loss and age. I don't seem to see many people on here that have had to have facelifts. I guess it effects everyone differently. I've drifted a little off subject. I just wanted to tell you how great you look.

Danielle, I never found out how much weight she took off but I know it was a good chunk. I had been maintaining my weight for several months at 153 and then 3 weeks before my tt, I had a complete unfill. Due to nervousness about the upcoming surgery and finally being able to eat, I gained up to 165 on the day of my surgery. When I went home from surgery I was the exact same 165. So I don't know if it was swelling equal to the fat she took off or what. It's 2 1/2 weeks later and I'm down 5 lbs. Somthe answer is I don't know. She didn't tell me and I've never asked.

Kimaly, I am having a neck lift and breast lift with augmentation in August by Dr Quiroz in Tijuana. The total cost is $7900 with anesthesia and facility charges. It will be extra for the recovery boutique. I have a lot of hanging skin on my neck and my poor breasts are flat as pancakes.

LOL, I had a Breast reduction before I had WLS and by 1 year out I had no breast left so I went back for implants. Now I love my girls. I'm going to Cancun for facelift, necklift, upper and lower eyes and a little fat transfere to the nasal folds my total cost except for flight is $ 5000. I'm ready, I've worked really hard to lose that weight and am not ashamed of what I want. I get a lot of crap from people saying you should just be happy with the loss (I'm over the sky with the loss) But also so feel I should be able to reward myself if I want. Never been much of one to care what others thought of me. More like the love me, like me or leave me kinda gal

Limply, good for you. I'm having a breast lift with implants and a neck lift in August and people give me a hard time about the neck lift but I have to see it all of the time and I'm paying for it, so I really don't worry about what others think.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
