Hysterectomy, tummy tuck, inner and outer thigh
Hysterectomy, tummy tuck, inner and outer thigh lift, in 2 weeks. Am I crazy?! Has anyone heard of this being done? I am going to call the insurance company tomorrow to find out if it covers any of the plastics because of the excess skin, and irritation that I am having.
How long is the recovery for the tt, and thigh lipo? I am so glad that I have an adjustable bed, bad thing is my bedroom is on the second floor. Are steps a no-no? Any information would be appreciated. Thank You

Hysterectomies and TT's are quite often done together. Adding a thigh lift will definitely make the recovery a bit more challenging. I have not seen many inner and outer thigh lifts done at the same time. Most outer thigh lifts are in conjunction with a lower body lift. Doing them at the same time can create issues with the skin being pulled in opposite directions. I would not have been comfortable dealing with stairs after my inner thigh lift for at least 2-3 weeks.

I wouldnt say you are crazy at all. If you are comfortable with your Dr and you feel well educated about your choice, than I am sure you made the right decision.
I went to three Dr's before picking the one to do my Ext TT. First DR wanted to do a breast lift, Ext TT, lipo on my back and thighs and do my arms all in my surgery. Said he does it all the time. 2nd Dr said no way, just got the ext tt and recover from that. He said it will cost more in the long run however he is removing more than 2ft of skin my from Ab area and we both wanted to make sure I would have a good recovery. We made the choice together
Talk to your DR and make sure you know what to expect. I asked him, go over each day with me. Day 1 what to expect, walking up, getting out of bed, going to the bathroom, we walked thru everything, so I know what to expect.
I know you will look wonderful, just make sure you know what to expect, so you will not be surprised.

Life should not be measured by the numbers of breathe we take but by the moments that take our breathe away....
