LBL vs TT vs Mini TT, Dr. S

I am torn between the LBL and the Mini TT.  Dr. S suggests the Mini TT and feels that is fine for me but I hate my butt and feel it needs lifted and tightened as well as some skin removed.  I like the idea of just having the one small scar but if I still can't wear a bathing suit what's the point?  I am totally ok with a Mini arm lift as my arms are not a major problem, I always carried my weight low in my body.  My legs are another story.  Have you found you are happy with the mini thigh lift vs the scar down the leg?  I am not sure they are going to be able to clean up my legs with just a mini lift but Dr. S suggests the mini for me.  I am wondering if pictures are deceiving and we might change our minds when he marks me.  The only concern I have then is that the price can change because it would mean more work to be done.  Sorry for the rant, a little frustrated with how to work this out prior to my going to Monterrey.  I am comfortable with Dr. S, I used Dr. A and LOVED him and trust his judgement.  Robin

Aloha Robin-
I was torn til boxing class when, during  jumping jacks, my loose buttock cheeks made a slapping noise against my body. I was mortified - luckily there's music in class and I hang out in the back corner! But I had alot more weight than you to lose so no doubt I have lots more extra skin. If you are unhappy with the result, perhaps you can always get the butt and thigh work done at a later date?
I've opted for the circumferential lower body lift and boob work all at once. Best of luck to you! XOXOLori

Thanks Lori :)  That pretty much sums it up!  Robin

Hijack Lori!
You're Body is Absolutely Amazing!  I just have to tell you that!!!

Maybe you need to send Dr. S some close ups.  I sent him a few close ups of my thighs and abdomen.  Maybe you need to send him some close ups of your butt.  I think it's hard to tell in a general picture.

Thanks LinR, I will do that!  I think it will help us make a decision.  Robin

Hey Robin,

 I'm in the process of booking surgery w/ Dr. S right now. I know for sure I want a full thigh lift and breast lift w/ Aug - I have a list of other things I want done too but I've decided just to book those two and then figure out what other procedures to add once I get down there and he sees me in person. Maybe that would work for you???

When are you thinking of booking? I'm officially on the hunt for a surgery buddy. Since we share a name, maybe we can share a surgical experience.

Robin,  I'm having anchor cut TT, BL/BA, medial thigh lift and maybe small arm lift on 2/2  . . .   Cassandra and Mary will be there while I'm there but the more the merrier.  Come then :-)

I'd love to - the sooner the better, but I have to go during the kiddies Spring Break so I'm booked for March 27! Make sure you take and share lots of pics for me though!

Hi Robin, being surgery partners would be awesome!!!  I am shooting for April, when are you planning to go?  Yes, possibly splitting up my work would help.  Thanks, Robin
