Hello all!! Sorry it's been so long for me to post! It has been super busy this last month!! I'm waiting for my TT "fine-tuning" before I post my total before pics (but my doc showed them to me and OMG :0... Scary!!)
Anyhow, I had my inter-medial thigh-lift on may 9th. Along with that procedure, my doctor revised my breast-lift/implants (this was free of charge because he does all of his revisions & tweaking for free).
I was kinda scared going into surgery this time because of the incredible pain I had after the mini-brachioplasty, TT, and breast-lift/implants. However, when I woke up, I was in pain, but NOTHING compared to the prior surgery (btw this was a 2 hr surgery)!!! Don't get me wrong it's still uncomfortable, I'm roughly 3 weeks out and it kind of hurts to bend over or sit on my butt, and my incisions are taking longer to close up (understandably, due to all of the motion like walking, sitting down, etc), but they are close to being done!
my doctor said thigh-lift incisions carry a 35% complication rate, so I guess I lucked out! On June 4 he will be removing another small strip of skin on my TT and also correcting "dog-ears" (this is free of charge, as it is his revision
). This procedure will be done under local anesthesia and will only take about 20 mins 
Some useful tips for those considering doing this:
~for the ladies, get a female urinal!! OMG it ended up being a life-saver!!
~plan on walking around and looking like you had anal-sex or something for a couple weeks lmao!
~i personally am so glad my doc wouldn't do this procedure in combination with my first go around... Oh, hell no!!! It would've been bad! I don't even know how that would've worked!! :0 so to those considering it, I thought I wanted it in the beginning, but because my doctor is smarter than me-- I'm very thankful lol.
Here are my latest afters
