Hi

I am having my "bat wings" removed Oct 14th, and I am excited and scared! Would love to hear from anyone who has had this done!!

I am supposed to get a full body lift Jan 31st BUT I have gained some weight during my vacation(a cruise) and I am so mad that I did that. Don't know if I should do the body lift now. What if I had already had it and gained this weight!

Thanks for listening can't wait to hear from everyone!

Ann

Thanks, I am happy. Can't wait to see what final out come will be. Just hoping the tighness and numbness in the left arm goes away. Still very swollen!

Here are the pictures I took tonight 4 weeks post op. I am happy they do look better but I sure hope they tighten up a bit. Still very swollen.

Your pics look brilliant!!!

Absolutely wonderful!!!! You are a great success story for anyone who is afraid to have this surgery done!!!

Thank you all very much. Anyone have their thighs done?

Ann, I have had two plastic surgery appts to discuss this and it costs the moon...one quote was $7000 and the second one was $8500. Both PS stressed how much it was going to hurt and that I would be off work for 6 weeks and scars up my groin and down to the knees!!!! The 2nd PS was going to add in a Mons lift (which I need very much) for $1900 so that estimate was over $10,000. I hate my thighs badly enough to periodically consider having it done!!!

Best wishes,

Mimi

Yes it is very expensive here too! 8000-10000 as well. My arms were 9500 which I thought was ridiculous! But I went to 3 PS and they were all the same price. The breast would have been 8700 if I did them with my arms, or 9500 on their own. The full body lift is 20-25,000. My ins covers NONE of it and it makes me sick! I pay 130.00 a week for myh heath ins! At least it could cover the body lift. I want to have it done very bad but don't think I will ever find that kind of money. The 9500 for my arms was hard enough! I so wish I could though. My thighs are AWFUL! I will never be able to wear a bathing suit without capris. Can't even wear shorts. I know its not a big deal but it makes me sad that I can't just be like everyone else after all this. At least I can wear tank tops now and not feel self conscience and not have it be the first thing I see about me in a photo! My PS office manager put me on the schedule for Jan 31st for the body lift to hold the spot lol. Unless hes going to cut his price by 3/4 lol I wont be using it. I also have to get back down to 169 before I would do it.

Best Wishes,

I was kind of hoping these prices would come down because of the economy and I had heard that a lot less people were getting PS or any elective procedures because of it...apparently not! I self payed for my band so I am dreading whether to fork over the cash for PS!

I went to 3 different PS and they were all priced about the same. It's sickening, after all this we can't even afford to fix what needs to get fixed. I mean they look at you at least all mine did like when do you want to get started. UUMMMM when I hit LOTTO! I mean come on If I had my body arms breasts thighs done it would cost almost 60,000!! My God who has that to throw around I sure don't. I am having a hard enough time finding the $230. a WEEK I pay for health ins! I laughed when I saw one of my older posts and said I pay 130 a week I WISH!

Good Luck to you with your PS. It was worth it for sure!
