Re: Thigh Lift/ ps costs

August 3, 2003

I too did the home equity loan to pay for my ps. And, as far as the

discomfort, my tt and inner/outer thigh lift were about equal in

discomfort. So if you did ok with the tt before, you will do ok

this time too. I on the other hand am a real wimp when it comes to

pain & struggled with both of these procedures. But it does get

better each day and each week. One other thing my surgeon told me

was to not expect as good of results with the inner thighs as I

would get with the outer thigh lift. Of course this turned out to

be true – I still have the Sharpei look, mostly above my knees. It

is disappointing but he did warn me.

> The cost of my plastic surgery WAS NOT covered by insurance. Not

one cent...so...with that said, being that I am not fortunate enough

to be independently wealthy BUT have alot of equity in my house I

refinanced in oreder to finance this whole shabang. I am having so

many back and forth reservations now. I had the face done and it is

great. I had the boobs done and they are beautiful. I had the arms

done and I have never in my life experienced this kind of pain and

my arms look so gross. I know in time they will look better---maybe

they may even look ok---but right now I am still living on pain

pills. The other night, I was out to dinner, didn't do anything

unusual, I looked down and saw that my left arm had split open. I

am sceduled for the tummy tuck and thight lift on August 15th. I

have no fear of the tummy tuck---had one 17 years ago plus several

other abdomenal surgeries. But " THE THIGHS " ---I am so dreading it.

And wouldn't fate have it----my inner thighs are the worse

> in sagginess on my whole body. I actually could have gotten

away without doing the arms. I heard from someone today that had the

thighs done on July 12th and she is still having problems----she

said that if she had to do it all over she probably would not have

the surgery. Anyone out there have a story to relieve any of my

fears???? Anyone out there want to lie to me and tell me it really

won't be that bad.
