Tummy Tuck and Inner Thigh Lift

[Armygalbonnie 643]

I had a Tummy Tuck 12 years ago, and it is low at my bikini line. It went all the way around my body but it's virtually unseen now. I've NEVER seen a tummy tuck where they split you from top to bottom!!!!

Fleur-de-lis tummy tucks are pretty common in patients who have lost a LOT of weight.

I'm strongly considering one. At almost 60 years old, I'm never going to wear a bikini again, so I'm not sure I care about the vertical scar. They can get your waist much smaller with the fleur-de-lis cut.

@JamieLogical I had lost 116 lbs when I had mine.

A lot of people have that vehicle scar fade very well.

You look so hourglass now! Looking good OP and your thighs look great. I am on the fence regarding thighs having read posts on here for and against. Thank you for sharing.

Looking good! And the great news is, after you're all healed up--drains, out; incisions healhed/normal color--all of what looks to be "a lot," etc., won't be very noticeable at all. Nice job. Congratulations to you and your surgeon.

I want a thigh lift and a panniculectomy; but at 61, I don't think I'll bother. If I did (and especially since I don't look my age; people think I'm 42-45), my, my, my. :-) I think God would rather I not do it. I might turn into something I've never been [smile!!] .

Thank you for sharing! Very informative. The drains look the most uncomfortable to me, as a bystander. I didn't know the difference of the flour-de-lis versus regular TT, so good information to have. You already look great, so I bet you'll be tickled pink in about 3-6 months when everything settles down.

I wanna to Tummy Tuck to remover all my wrinkly and hanging skin. I pretty much bounced back. I'm lucky tho. I had a breast lift the surgeon called it a reduction so insurance would pay.

Cover your scars with awesome tattoos, I can see a pretty floral design masking those.

Wow! That is some brave stuff. I'm serious those drains scared the living hell out of me. Congrats on the new you. It took a lot to go through that and share with all of us. Thank you

My last appointment went well. He said everything looked good and took three drains out. I go back this Saturday to get the other out - cannot wait!

I am exactly two weeks today and feeling better each day!

I was thinking exactly that. I never in my life would have thought of a tattoo on my stomach because I hated looking at it, but it's going o be so different.
