Hi!
Curious if anyone did the Tummy tuck (Fleur-de-lis) and the Inner Thighplasty (long incision) at the sametime?
If so, how was recovery?
I think they are probably to two toughest to recover from so if any of you brave folks who did this would share with me the good, the bad and the ugly of it I'd sure appreciate it. It's decision time for me.
Note- I'm not talking about the full LBL.....just the tummy tuck and then adding the Thighplasty to do it.
Thanks!!!

Hi Ruth. I am scheduled for a tummy tuck and breast lift on August 25th. I wanted to add the upper thigh lift (crease incision) but Dr. Fodero refuses to touch thighs or buttock with tummy tuck and breast lift. I also had other consultations with two more doctors and one of the doctor was willing to do tummy tuck, breast implants and lipo on my inner thighs at the same time. Another doctor was not willing to touch the thigh or buttocks while doing a tummy tuck.
Good luck with your decision.

Hi Ruth,
You can see below that I had the "blue plate special" all at once, so I think you should be just fine combining 2 procedures, as long as your surgeon agrees. I also think the first few days of having any surgery, either 1 procedure or 4 procedures, you basically feel like crap, lol. I have had no complications so far. Good luck!

You sure did get a lot done at once!!
How was your recovery? Do you think it took longer because of having so many things done at once.
Did you have the long incision on your thigh lift (groin to knee)?
Thanks!

My recovery has been great, no complications, no healing problems. Once I got the IV out (day 3) I only took ibupropen and tyIenol. I did have the long thigh incision, and wear my compression garments 24/7. I posted some after pics, some at 2 weeks, and still have yet to post my 4 week pics. Good luck to you, I'm sure you will do just fine.

Hi Susan,
Thanks for the info........it's comforting to know someone else did it that way.
I always worry if I'm planning too much cutting for one procedure...
Thanks again!
Ruth
PS- I'm sending you a PM too
