BL, LBL, BA/BL oh my!

So I am new to the PS forum and see so many of the above terms, is there a place to find out what they all mean, I know a BL is breast lift I think, LBL is lower body lift, BA/BL Is what? any other intials for plastic surgery procedures?

BA/BL is breast augmentation and breast lift. TT is tummy tuck. More will chime in, my brain isn't producing much right now....

thanks martha! The best of luck on your upcoming procedure in 2 days! you will be in my thoughts and prayers!

TL or MTL is a thigh lift.  There are two types - the smaller thigh lift with just incisions in the groin and medial thigh plasty with the longer incisions from the groin down the leg, usually to the knee but it can stop shorter if the redundent skin doesn't go all the way down the leg.  The incisions will be long enough to remove the excess skin and get rid of dog ears, which are little puckers at the end of the incision.

AL is arm lift or brachioplasty.

thank you soooo much! 

Here's what I know...

AL= Arm Lift  (aka Brachioplasty(
BR= Breast Reduction
BL = Breast Lift (mastopexy)
BA= Breast Augmentation
FL= Facelift
TT= Tummy Tuck (FDL or Fleur De Lis is the Anchor cut )
Adominoplasty = Tummy tuck
Panniculectomy = removal of the pannus...no muscle tightening.
LBL= Lower Body Lift (which typically includes the Tummy tuck, butt lift and outer thigh lift)
Beltectomy = basically the same thing as the LBL
TL = Thigh Lift.......Medial Thigh Lift = Inner thighs
ThighPlasty = usually means the inner thighs with the loooong cut to the knee
MR= Mons Reduction or lift

JP's = the drains you have after surgery (Jackson Pratt drains)
Seroma = fluid build up (normally needs the dr to drain it)

That's all the lingo I can think of.....if you have specific questions post them and we will all chime in.
Best wishes on your journey

thank you! I am compiling a lis!
