Condidering thigh lift and breast lift/augmentation



Recommended Posts

Had my sleeve April 3rd this past year. I'm well within my ideal weight, however I'm disgusted by the excess skin on my legs (mainly back oft thighs) and my breast went from a very full DD to a not so full C. I am considering the thought lift and breast lift/implants. I would like to know about how much this usually costs and the recovery time. If you've had it done, would you do it again?? Are the scars terrible? My whole hola would be, to be able to wear shorts and a swimsuit without feeling completely embarrassed. Any advice, opinions or suggestions are welcome. If I decide to do this, I'll be using someone in the Dallas area. Thanks in advance!

This is a good question!!! I am also considering this. I was recently sleeved on 11/25/13 but seeing the way things are going I think I will be the same position next year.

I have those concerns, but I am also concerned about loss of sensation. I'm just going to say it...loss of nipple sensation :blush:. That would be one hell of a trade off I think :angry:. Has this been an issue for anyone?

I did not lose nipple sensation but it is a risk. I was lucky that doc did my implants with just the opening around the aerial so no noticable scarring. My thighs were the unusual small lift, groin only incisions....so no noticable scarring. My arm scars are amazingly faded already and I am thrilled with that. Worst scar is lower body lift...it is red but not raised so I believe it willfade considerably. 3 months out and really good results.

Cowgirljane, so happy you have had good results. I am hoping for the same. I went on my first consult yesterday and went into the consult feeling very confident that he was the surgeon I wanted to use. However, after the consult I felt so frustrated. I don't feel like we communicated well at all together and almost felt like he couldn't be bothered with me :(

I have scheduled another consult hoping that I will feel more at ease. With the Dr who did my sleeve I knew the minute I spoke with him, that he was the Dr I would use. I am hoping I'll find the PS that will make me feel the same type of confidence. This is a huge decision and the after effects are permanent. It is important to me to know I'm making the right choice. Has anyone else dealt with these same feelings????

I understand exactly what you mean. Have you ever watched that show on TV "Say Yes To The Dress"

They get emotional and start to cry when they find the perfect dress for their wedding.

I doubt if you act like that, but you will know when you find the plastic surgeon just for you. I talk about this in my story (in my profile) when I am searching for my plastic surgeon. I searched for months!!!! I am sure you will find the perfect doctor just for you just like I did.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
