I am thinking in a year or so I may get a thigh lift and call it good.
Good Luck

I also had to give you a heart-felt thank you for making me genuinely LOL. FUPA. That's awesome. Been a long time since I heard that one. F&*!ing' FUPAS.
On a more serious note, how far laterally/ towards your back across your hips does the anchor cut extend? Hip to hip? That's what makes it a "Maxi" TT, right? I'm really just starting my research on this whole thing. Thanks!

I am cut from a bit around my back it is from hip to hip. I do have pics on my profile of right after surgery. The incision is easily covered by my panties and bathing suit bottoms.
I had never in my life heard "It" called a FUPA, till my now husband and some friends and I were out drinking one night. They got on the subject of FUPA's and I had to ask for the 411 on what it was.. Boy did I feel silly after it was explained to me, especially since I was the proud owner of one.

Maybe just my area, but My ps quote for an extended tt was less than 5900 all inclusive. I'm having a lbl with outer thigh lipo in October staying one night in hospital 12,000 all inclusive. And my 2nd round will be having a medial thigh lift isn't but 3,500. I was really surprised at this price, made sure I got it in writing. Lol
I thought about going out of country but going out of state for my DS and aftercare now has been a nightmare at times. Good Luck on your tt. Pam
Thanks Pam (& EVERYONE ELSE FOR YOUR ADVICE!) !
The plastics you're talking about was with a licensed stateside plastic surgeon? May I ask who it was & where they're located? Thanks :) :)

Anyhow, my point is that the resident programs are closely supervised. I have no jagged edges that weren't supposed to be (i.e., my armpit). And if there were any problems, revisions are usually free. I can honestly say that I have seen some work on here that were from private practice surgeons that have done some bad work on some people. I'm not saying my work is perfect but I think it looks great and the incisions are in the right places and I don't think my work would have come out much better by a regular PS. I have known at least 4 others who have gone to Baylor after me (one went back for round 2) and have had been pleased with their results and not all of them used my resident. I've also spoken to others on here who have gone to other medical schools and were also pleased.
Enough of my soap box. To address you questions about the thighs. I had the LBL so it definitely helped my outer thighs. It helped the front of my thighs a little but not enough. Also, ask about how much the TT will help you mons area. A good surgeon knows to cut any excess pubic skin by excising it from the top of the mons as opposed to just pulling it up without cutting. This is very important. Otherwise you end up with a very high hairline which is unnatural looking in my opinion.
As far as your LBL at the resident program, you may want to wait. I was originally going to use the UT medical school and they didn't want to do the LBL mainly because of my anemia issues. I eventually switched over to Baylor and they had no problem doing it. The resident will need to check with the attending physician and discuss it with him but a lot depends on what the attending physician is comfortable with. You even have some regular PS drs that don't like doing it all at once. I was fortunate enough to have the LBL w/butt auto augmentation plus lipo plus a breast lift done with my school. Maybe waiting a semester may make a difference there.
Just do your research, ask lots of questions, ask about incision placement, meet the attending physician and do your homework.
