I’ve had a breastlift with augmentation consultation for over $7000, saving to get it done next year, would like my arms and a butt lift if I had 3 wishes

I am planning to do a Tummy Tuck with breast lift in mid-2019 and then in 2020 arms with potential implants added depending on how I like my boobs with just the lift. :)

I had a thigh lift.8 weeks before i had an FLD tummy tuck.My Tummy Tuck was easier then the thigh lift.Its longer recovery and hurts like hell.I have a high pain tolerance.I couldnt sit on toilet for 6 weeks nor a chair.Had to use a cup to go.For a bm i would eat so i didnt have to go.But eventually it caught up to me and almost passed out in the shower.Very hard to get out of bed.My groin area stitches split open twice.But i would do it again.They stitched groin on both sides all the way to the back a little.I couldnt open my legs much.My thighs had stitches from groin down inner thighs to above knee area.Long recovery its a hard surgery for skin removal and hard surgery to perform.Make sure you have a good surgeon.Good luck!Hope this helps!

I had a FDL with muscle repair, mastopexy, extended brachioplasty and mons lift in my first round and I have just had a reverse FDL. Next up is thighs and completion of the belt lipectomy. The difference is life changing but it is definitely not something to go into lightly the recovery can be emotionally challenging

I wanted my FDL,thigh lift,boob lift with implants and a brachioplasy done all at the same time.My surgeon said absolutely not!Was too risky on chance of infection and recovery.Had my FDL with musle repair then 8 weeks later i had my thighplasty done.After those thighs being done i realized why he said no.Was the hardest surgery i have had.I have a high pain tolerance.Was same day and was given Tylenol 3 with codeine for pain.Nothing stronger was needed he said.Quicker recovery.Was true.It was.I am still in the process of getting my boob lift with implants hopefully in the Spring and my arms maybe a yr later.I do my surgeries in priority of what i want to fixed first.2 surgeries have made a difference.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
