I had a tummy tuck and thigh lift a month ago today. I still have some surgical swelling but overall everything is much improved. These are the G rated photos - if someone is looking for more specifics pertaining to thigh lifts just PM me and I can share.

They removed 4lbs 6ozs of skin and fat. The doc said there wasn't much fat to remove, but I'm pretty sure there was plenty.

I was 139 in the before photos, 126 in the after photos, and I am 5'6".

I had some unforeseen complications with my ability to eat after surgery, so I lost more weight than expected in the last month. It is an incredibly rare problem, so not to worry - but it scared the heck out of me.

The photo where I am hunched over gives an idea of your post surgery posture. I am now able to stand up straight - usually. I'm glad to answer any questions.

Wow. Fabulous results. Thanks so much for sharing.

May I ask the cost? You can PM me if you don't want it out for public consumption.

Wow, looks great! Thanks for sharing.

Having both procedures at once was the right decision for me - I wasn't prepared to go through an extra surgery if I could just power through.

The incisions for the thigh lift are tricky to describe. One incision goes from the crotch area down the inside of my thigh 7". The other incisions are along the line your underwear goes - from the top outside of your "triangle", down to the inside of the thighs (still where the underwear goes, and then when it gets to the back it follows the line of the bottom of your buttocks.

I had my surgery in Bellevue, WA just outside Seattle.

I'm from Seattle/Mercer Island. Just curious as to your doctor and cost (if you don't mind sharing). Looks wonderful. How much time off from your recovery.

I used Dr. Christine Nygaard in Bellevue. I think she is AMAZING. I have loved her work. I don't have a traditional job, so I can't exactly say for time off, but I'm guessing you would want 4 weeks for a desk job and would be required 6 weeks for a physical job. You might be able to go back earlier for a desk job but I wouldn't have wanted to. I will PM you info on cost.

She also did my facelift, I will attach a photo. The two photos on the left are before - one with makeup and a professional camera that hid lots of flaws, and another more bare bones photo that shows what was really going on. The photo on the right is just a few days ago. My face surgery was about three months ago.

She will also be doing my lift/aug in June.

I am so happy for you!! You look FANTASTIC & CONGRATS on all your success!!!

Zowee! You look great!! I am scared to death of a face lift - I wanna look like me, but better. Usually the mouth looks funny - but yours looks awesome!

Thank you! I got a necklift, lower bleph (lower eyelid lift), and brow lift but did not get a lift to the mid part of my face.

I look different from the surgery because my turkey wattle (sp?) is gone (yippee!!) and because you can actually see my eyes. Also, my brows have a more feminine look I think. But another big difference in those photos is that I've lost a fair amount of weight.

I've been happy with the results.

SUPER results for both body and facial surgery! You look fantastic. I am hoping to do all of this eventually so you've inspired me!

I am planning on doing this when I get to Wonderland (my name for my goal weight). You look amazing! Thanks for sharing :- D

Wow,amazing what they can do… You look terrific please PM me at your convenience would love to see a close-up. I actually already sawI plastic surgeon since I lost 56 pounds and about to have My weight-loss surgery. As soon as I reach my goal I am going in for surgery. I talked to my doctor about it when I have the clearance… I know my plastic surgeon said I just needed my arms, possibly my Hips . my regular physician did mention that I will have extra skin on my face:( :(I can't go there, just yet
