I have amazing results from my plastic surgery. I went to Mexico weighing in at 171, I am now down to 157 I am so happy with my results. I knew exercising was not going to fix my skin. Let me see if I can post a pic for you....Total weight loss, now 133 lbs gone!! Over 2 yrs post op and still losing

Oh my gosh Karen....I am getting super excited for you and cannot wait to see pics of your final results Did you take before pics yet?? Don't forget to do that!! I am glad you got a tour and met doctor before hand....everyone there is sooooo friendly! Isn't there building beautiful?? And Doctor is beautiful too lol I am glad you chose Dr Q for your final procedures....and yes, very affordable!! (this the last of your plastics??)

Yes I did....I went to Dr Quiroz from cosmed clinic. I believe he is the only doctor in Mexico that is also licensed in the US! One of the reasons I chose him

I wish you much luck on your procedure. Lots and lots of rest....and lots of pillows Just be careful not to move around too much and pop out any stitches....are you going straight home after surgery? Make sure someone is there to help you out of bed, it helps. Also try and keep legs elevated...your incision under your butt cheek will be the worse, mine was very swollen and uncomfortable. Just remember....it is only about 14 days of discomfort!! Day 10 my stitches were so tight, I was crying...surgeon removed half of them and that was soooo much better. Keep in touch with your doctor for any concerns that arise. A lot of people have problems with this surgery....I had no complications just lots of discomfort...guess I was lucky. Good luck to you...and keep me updated throughout the next 2 weeks, I will be here if you should have any questions

I was charged $2500 for thighs and $4000 for lower body lift....but I think all estimates vary, depending on what else you are getting done. I did a virtual consult with them; sent in my pics and surgeon calls you personally and talks to you and answers all questions that you have.

I had almost complete numbness around incision for lower body lift...I never had any pain from it...It was the inner thigh lift that I had difficulty with...incisions got really tight at one point, about day 10 and surgeon removed some stitches for me...which helped alot! But lots of discomfort from thighs...As long as you have drains in NO shower...as, water and soap can get into the drain hole...I had a nurse saran wrap my drains and she showered me at about day 6. I am having some healing feelings now....sharp burning pain that hopefully goes away soon!

I just wanted to give you all an updated photo of my inner thigh lift and lower body lift....I am 4 weeks post op and I am loving my results so far!! Just thought I would share......

I would start out with inner thigh lift....I am 4 weeks post op from inner thigh lift and have amazing results...although my knees are still a bit large....usually inner thigh lift is done first and then if you still need work done, it would be thigh lift from knee to groin incision....

I am currently in recovery at this moment from lower body lift and inner thigh lift. My surgery was June 21, I am in Mexico, as I would have never been able to afford any plastic surgery in the US. I chose the lbl over tt because I could see my butt hanging in between my legs...so, with lbl it includes tummy tuck, outer thigh lift and butt lift. Doctor said he took off about 8 inches all the way around...and lifted my inner thighs 5 inches. stitiches under my butt cheeks are the only ones that are sore...other than that so far not so bad~

Hi Jill, Just wondering how everything went?? As, I have my LBL on Thursday the 21st!!

Heck ya....get rid of it!!

You look amazing Karen....I know I already told you that...lol Ouch your cost was spendy...but looks so worth it!! What you paid for TT...is same price for my LBL, lipo and inner thigh lift with Dr Q. When will you be going to Cosmed??

Good luck to you...keep us posted too! I am also excited and nervous!! 12 more days!

I am curious...what sort of things did your doctor give you? I am having my LBL on the 21st June

Karen...how much skin in pounds did your surgeon take off??
