Tummy tuck question.

Will a tummy tuck naturally tighten up the upper/inner thigh sag?

or does one need a lower body lift to do that?

Thanks in advance.

I would love a tummy tuck next summer. I really should book a consult, but get this,

I AM AFRAID........after allllllllllllll the surgeries I have been through, breast reduction, ablation, banding, teeth implants, (that was gross) and I am afraid again.

But I so want this, this will be the finishing touch.

Well, then it might be time to turn to my face, eye lift, rhinoplasty. Hey, I only wish I had a PS for a dad.

In my experience, it helped with my thighs, but not a whole lot. I could see a difference, but DH said they looked exactly the same.

I would imagine, if you have bothersome inner thigh sag that you want rid of, a lower body lift would be the way to go.

As for being afraid? I found it to be a pretty easy surgery, as surgeries go. I was up and out of bed within hours, and on nothing more than headache tablets for pain. It was more uncomfortable than painful.

Thanks Chickie. Wow you did well after your surgery. I am sure I will too. I have a low tolerance for 'thinking' about things, but a high tolerance for pain.

Then I guess I need to know the difference between a tummy tuck and a lower body lift. I'll google some. When I look in the mirror and pull up my belly skin/fat. My legs appear to look better, but, don't know if my 'test' is accurate.

Cheers.

I have found that afte my tummy tuck I now notice my inner thighs more. Think about it. your pannus was covering the upper part of your thighs and then presto its gone and your thighs are now exposed. I should have thought about tis before having my tt.

It really depends on the extent of the sag, and what you expect. If you want something close to perfect, a LBL, or a TT with thigh lift might be the way to go.

But if you are happy enough, but wouldn't complain if they did get lifted a little during the TT, but wouldn't be crushed if the look exactly the same, a TT would work.
