Inner thigh lift and tummy tuck



Recommended Posts

I'm looking into getting an inner thigh lift and Tummy Tuck and wondering what dr people would recommend. I'm ok with going to Mexico. I have thought about the circumfrencial lift as well. I carry all my weight in my lower body (inner thighs, outer saddle bags, butt, hips and lower tummy) I want the best procedure that can give the most results. What are experiences of others. I also need to take into account cost being a single mom of 3. So any suggestions are appreciated:)

The price in Mexico will be your best bet. The circumferential lift would lift you all around and the best for tummy, butt and outer thigh. You may still need to get an inner thigh lift too. I recently had some PS in mexico, wouldn't recommend my surgeon but I have heard from a patient of Dr Fuentes that he did very good work.

Mexico is the closest option. But there is very low cost plastic surgery in India and other foreign countries.

Amazon13 can you message me with the name of your surgeon? I'm looking into Mexico for ps and don't want a bad one. Thanks. Anyone with a great Mexico plastic surgeon please chime in and help us out. I think this is even more scary than going there for the sleeve.

I am strugglingwith this. Cash price in the usa is ALOT of money. However, i feel so much more comfortable close to home.. the follow up etc. that i am really leanign that way.

I agree that plastics, expecially the lower body lift like I am looking at is a big big deal surgery!

Have you considered financing it? I applied for CareCredit and got the card..its for plastics and such..weird stuff like dental and pet care also. It covered my arm lift and once paid off will pay for my TT and thigh lift.

How much comes on one them cards anyway? I always thought it was like 500 or 1000 at most.

I have Care Credit, most plastic surgeons give you 1 year intrest free and my limit is 10,000 and you can cll and get it raised easily. They have been great, easy pay online... Convenient for those little pick me ups every few months!!

One thing to consider in going to TJ is how far you live from mx. I just took a plane from San to lax to dal/fw to Missouri after the sleeve and it was so exhausting. I can't imagine being all bandaged up (probably with a drain or 2) for that long trip. *shudder*

That said, I could be eating my words in a year or two, if I want work done bad enough.

Big difference is (at least with my clinic) is that with my sleeve I stayed only 5 days or so- with plastics I am there for 12. We will see as I fly home after the plastics ---- could be bad! ;-)

      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.
