Well having had my abdominoplasgty and brachyplasty in May 2012 am feeling fully recovered and am now going for my thigh lift. My sugeon is going on maternity leave in december so it was either having to wait till next year and another summer interupted by surgery or to get it done asap. My surgery date is the 18th October 2012..

Just to give you an idea of what my poor surgeon has to deal with i am showing 2 pics

one pre-op with my very loose skin on my thighs and one of my thighs in my marena compression leggings. I love these compression legs and although expensive are so worth while, the difference it made to me not having this baggy skin showing on my legs with normal leggings made all the difference in the world to me.

Most of you wont get skin as bad as mine as i had to lose a lot of weight and doing the amount of cycling i do my legs are just muscle and skin now, my age was against me and so was being female but i am hoping this surgery will make the difference i need to feel able to wear my cycling shorts or even a bathing suit !

How are you feeling now? How long do you wear the compression pants? Can't wait to see your after shots!

I am doing well thanks, i got over my stitch abscesses and i still wear compression as i bought myself the leggings in black and just wear them like any leggings, the scars are doing great now i will get to take some pics soon for u, given the state of my legs before the operation they look 100% better now, although will never be perfect The longer u wear compression on any scars the better the results, u must keep them moisturised too to keep the skin from contracting a little. My surgeon is a great believer in natural remedies and insists that u massage the scar skin as often as possible to keep it flat and supple .. seems to work

Just an updater my breast lift surgery is scheduled for March 23rd 2013 .. the final piece of the puzzle for me, I cannot wait to get rid of these saggy lumps on my chest ! at the moment i am a 36/38 DD I am hoping for a C cup. My other surgeries have all healed really well, i need a small revision to the sagging skin still remaining around my knees after my thigh operation, but am really looking forward to finishing having to have all these operations. I never imagined that when i had a lap band fitted i would end up with 23 hours worth of plastic surgery too !

how exciting for you Cazzy! Can't wait to see updated pics!

Well tomorrow March 23rd is my breast lift surgery day, i am hoping it all goes ok and i get rid of my saggy girls forever. I am a 3nights planned hospital stay, so will post when i am able to ...

Good luck to all those others who are having surgery soon.
