Condidering thigh lift and breast lift/augmentation



Recommended Posts

Had my sleeve April 3rd this past year. I'm well within my ideal weight, however I'm disgusted by the excess skin on my legs (mainly back oft thighs) and my breast went from a very full DD to a not so full C. I am considering the thought lift and breast lift/implants. I would like to know about how much this usually costs and the recovery time. If you've had it done, would you do it again?? Are the scars terrible? My whole hola would be, to be able to wear shorts and a swimsuit without feeling completely embarrassed. Any advice, opinions or suggestions are welcome. If I decide to do this, I'll be using someone in the Dallas area. Thanks in advance!

This is a good question!!! I am also considering this. I was recently sleeved on 11/25/13 but seeing the way things are going I think I will be the same position next year.

I have those concerns, but I am also concerned about loss of sensation. I'm just going to say it...loss of nipple sensation :blush:. That would be one hell of a trade off I think :angry:. Has this been an issue for anyone?

I did not lose nipple sensation but it is a risk. I was lucky that doc did my implants with just the opening around the aerial so no noticable scarring. My thighs were the unusual small lift, groin only incisions....so no noticable scarring. My arm scars are amazingly faded already and I am thrilled with that. Worst scar is lower body lift...it is red but not raised so I believe it willfade considerably. 3 months out and really good results.

Cowgirljane, so happy you have had good results. I am hoping for the same. I went on my first consult yesterday and went into the consult feeling very confident that he was the surgeon I wanted to use. However, after the consult I felt so frustrated. I don't feel like we communicated well at all together and almost felt like he couldn't be bothered with me :(

I have scheduled another consult hoping that I will feel more at ease. With the Dr who did my sleeve I knew the minute I spoke with him, that he was the Dr I would use. I am hoping I'll find the PS that will make me feel the same type of confidence. This is a huge decision and the after effects are permanent. It is important to me to know I'm making the right choice. Has anyone else dealt with these same feelings????

I understand exactly what you mean. Have you ever watched that show on TV "Say Yes To The Dress"

They get emotional and start to cry when they find the perfect dress for their wedding.

I doubt if you act like that, but you will know when you find the plastic surgeon just for you. I talk about this in my story (in my profile) when I am searching for my plastic surgeon. I searched for months!!!! I am sure you will find the perfect doctor just for you just like I did.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
