Guest guest Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 I had my TT 11/95. Had the full meal deal. Tightened the upper muscles, rebuilt my entire waist area (inside), anchor sorta cut, but the bottom one looks like a W,kinda? Starts fairly high on hip, then down into groin, forms neat circle over, you know. Very tight. even after 8 yrs. I'd give the TT a 10 on 1-10. Of course, the rest of me doesn't go with it, but I've got the tummy of my dreams. Just wish I'd had it 40 yrs sooner. Thighs could use help, but not enough for me to actually DO it. Can you guys who've done both do a quick summary of what kinds of incisions you had, healing, maybe rate your results? Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 I had my TT and a little thigh lift on 08/22. I'm only two months out. Healing was fine - my scars are that nice purplish color, but very thin. It's high on each hip, it's like a smile with a stroke - it has a funny dip on the right side. My musculature in my abdomen was all tweaked, but the skin above my navel is not tight - not problematic, just not tight! He is very proud of the way my natural waistline turned out, and my new navel is too cute LOL! On my thighs, he cut out about a 3-4 inch section from the inside, and lipo's the outside. The incision is on each thigh, high up in my panty line. It's probably wider than the TT scar, but I know I stressed it more moving up and down. My legs aren't tight either, but I was more than ready for the TT, and still losing. I shouldn't have done the legs, but I figured if I did what I could at that point, they wouldn't be unbearable later. As far as recovery, I was showering and dressing my incisions by day 4 without assistance and remodeled my boys bedrooms three weeks later, but I tend to be a very fast healer.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 Ok......I had pretty much EVERYTHING done this past summer. (the face, the neck, the eyes, the boobs, the arms, the stomach, the thighs and the back) Some of you may remember I was VERY apprehensive about my thighs. I had heard nothing but horror stories. Up until 4 days before I was going to cancel. But had a heart to heart talk with my DOC. and I went ahead with it. I had the stomach and thighs done at the same time and I can tell you....I couldn't be happier with the results. I was so prepared for all the pain and discomfoort of having the thighs done----it was not bad at all. My thighs look wonderful. The incision only goes down about 3 to 4 " and the other incision is right in my groin. I am already swimming cometitively and unless someone is really looking at my crotch !!!(how dare they!) there is no way to tell I have had surgery. HOWEVER-----lets talk about the arms. If I had to do it all over again----I think I would re-think that particular surgery. They still bother me and it has been 3 months. I hate the scar and will probably always wear 3/4 length sleeves. The upside to it all is this----I have no more loose skin---at all---nada, zip, nothing. And you cannot put a price tag on that. To keep it that way I exercise and swim---alot. And will forever---a small price to pay to look good but more importantly is how I feel. An addendum to all this----I healed very quickly and I feel as good as I do because of PROTEIN !!!! My Doc now has me talk to all his WLS plastic surgery patients about protein over-loading prior to surgery. I am here to tell you----IT WORKS!!!! BJ in Va. Vitalady wrote: I had my TT 11/95.
