Just An Fyi If You Need A Tummy Tuck And Thigh Lift....

Before I had my TT, I also wanted a thigh lift. The upper inner parts of my thighs were saggy and just didn't look good in a swimsuit. I also wanted breast implants and my surgeon would only do 2 procedures at a time so I chose the TT and implants.

Well now I don't really need the thigh lift. It turns out if most of your thigh sag is at the very top and your doc does a really good TT that skin will be stretched and pulled up when they pull up all the groin skin. I'm not saying my thighs are beautiful and perfect now but they definitely are not saggy enough for me to spend the money or time on a thigh lift.

I am so happy with my figure now:)

So glad you're happy with your results. Thanks for the info!

I notice that when i practice in the mirror, lol. I am just a bit afraid that im going to look like a 20 year o,d from the front and a 90 year old from behind.

Not possible, I've seen your body:)

It's amazing at the things it pulls up that you don't even think about.

Thanks for this. I'm awhile away from surgery but I am concerned about how my thighs look after losing close to 100lbs. Knowing that TT can help...I'll probably be ok with not having "perfect" thighs.

My tummy isn't so bad but I have this terrible amount of excess from thighs so looks like I have really fat knees. Are you saying tummy tucks pulls up that inner thigh yuck?

It will pull up a small amount of it. It pulls up what is at the top inner thighs. When they pull the skin up to tighten the groin area it pulls the upper inner thigh tighter also.

Thank you soooo much for this post!!!!! I am going in for my first plastic surgery consult March 20. 8 am looking at aTT and Thigh lift with a breast lift latter on. So if the tt can help the little wrinkles at the top of my thighs ( i have small thighs), wow that would be great. Thanks for the info.

that is so interesting, thanks for sharing... I have lost 120 pounds and REALLY need a TT and thigh lift. Let's not even menion the boobs - haha... At this point I would be happy with just a TT, but my hubby just isn't going for it :( I know if I had it done I would be so much happier!

How bad were your thighs? I was/am interested in all of the procedures. I'm for sure getting the tummy tuck done. However, now I'm so tempted to just go all out and do thighs or a breast lift. Really in a good bra I'm ok....but...I didn't realize how much skin I had around my thighs. It's all upper/inner thigh and compared to a lot of you out there who have it much worse, mine barely looks like it's loose skin, just a bit of sag. Will a full tummy tuck help this or do I need to ask my doctor to really pull up around the groin area?

My TT is amazing I am totally over the moon with the results, even better than I had ever hoped or imagined. To be honest though, I cant say it made any difference to my saggy thigh skin which collects around my knees. I can live with that though it is easily hid where as my bulging tummy pouch wasnt. Not wanting to put a downer on anyone hoping a TT will cure a thigh problem, just saying in my case it didnt =)

I had the thigh sag just at the very top inner thigh and its gone! The skin over my groin area is pulled very tight. And i am over the moon that I have the hoo-haa of a sixteen year old, sorry if that's TMI. You dont really reluse your bits have sagged after childbirth and weight loss but they do!

I have a tt and breast reduction scheduled for may21. Hope my upper inner thigh wrinkles are pulled up too!!!
