Tummy Tuck and Inner Thigh Lift



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
