Spiceyfrog 269 Posted January 3, 2017 Is your TT circumferential or do your incisions end somewhere around your back? Was it a spiral thigh lift? Sounds like it might have been if your incisions go across under your butt cheeks. The incisions go around my back a couple inches, they do not meet. I am not positive as for the thigh lift. Pre-op, we had talked about if I just wanted the groin incision of the full inner upper thigh incision. I decided, for maximum results, I could live with the full upper length scar. The scar actually does not go all the way to my knee, so I am happy about that, you will never see it with Bermuda shorts on. As far is going around under my butt cheek, I did not expect that, so added bonus for me. It goes about half way across, under my butt cheek. 1 KCCMBB reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larry971 279 Posted January 3, 2017 It sounds like you are doing well and have made decisions that are good for you. I am happy for you.. not sure if I'll ever afford $11,000 for the procedure...

woo woo 872 Posted January 5, 2017 I think you are gonna have a fabulous result! Thank you so much for sharing @@Spiceyfrog Do you happen to have any before pics where you are not holding the skin that you would be willing to share? I'm curious to see how we compare, I think our shape might be similar. I've always had a larger waist relative to the rest of me. While I'm asking I might as well say I would love to see a back view of your incisions! Lol Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiceyfrog 269 Posted January 5, 2017 The only before picture I have, is the one that I am wearing jeans in. I may have an unrelated one, I will take a look. The behind photos were not great because you cannot see my leg incisions from behind. I took some new ones today, with each leg up and you can see the leg incision and the end of the incision under my butt cheek. I also included a behind view of the tummy incision. Don't mind my saggy butt, that will be next...lol As I was uploading I found the last picture of me in a bra, that was this time last year before my brachioplasty and augmentation/lift, that shows most of my stomach.

clc9 644 Posted January 6, 2017 I read a blog of a woman who had a circumferential body lift after weight loss and while she looked normal standing up, when doing planks and pushups her skin still hung around her middle. A fleur de lis incision takes care of that side to side stretched skin and the Tummy Tuck or body lift only addresses up and down stretch, so to speak. Hope you heal fast - i'm sure you'll be thrilled with the result! Thanks for sharing! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
