Thinking about having my flappers snipped.
Hello Fantastic Plastics Folk!
I'm thinking of selling David's kidneys to afford a total body lift. I'd really like your sage advice and help to decide if it's worth it. Ideally I'd love you to spam me with a million before and after pics. The problem is I have an idealised picture in my head of post plastics which doesn't really fit with reality. I mean surely I'll look like Meagan Fox!
I have an arse like a cow pat my tits are like two socks full of pennies and my gut is a melt movie that gets rolled up like a burrito and stuffed into my knickers. I'd like my armpits not to hit my elbows too.
Advice peas.

If you don't have any takers for David's kidneys to do the total body lift just think about what is the absolute worst thing that bugs you more than anything. Then go on consults to find a good surgeon and what their prices are to see what you can afford to get done and the timeframe. I totally understand where you're coming from and luckily for me I have a mom who doesn't spend money on anything so she could lend me the money to do the total body lift (don't have a David to sell parts from).
Then it does sound like you should start with a lower body lift. I started with my arms because that was all I could afford to do and you can't hide your arms. The rest I could hide with support wear. 18 months later I just had the rest done and am so happy!!

Hi my friend,
YES! It is totally worth it. I'm 8 weeks out from major plastics - I had a LBL, arm lift, and breast lift / aug. My body is still changing, my PS said not to buy any new clothes until I'm at least 3 months out, but even if I don't have any more changes I'm thrilled.
I have pictures on my profile if you want to see.
I'm heading out of town for about a week and wont be here on OH but I'll send you a note on Facebook if you want to chat plastics, k?

Sounds to me like you should look into an LBL first based on your stomach and thigh complaints. I had one done (with a butt augmentation) 5.5 weeks ago. I have 2 week post-op pics on my profile. I plan on taking more to add, but even at 2 weeks out I was thrilled with the results!
When researching surgeons, make sure that you look at lots of their personal before and afters (ideally at least 3-6 month after) and try and find some befores that look like you do.
Good luck! :)

Just circumferential. Had it been anchor cut, you'd have been able to see the vertical portion of the incision. All 4 surgeons that I met with told me that I didn't need the anchor cut as I had a bit of definition already and was "tiny."
I still can't get used to being called tiny. When I came out of surgery, they told me that I did not have a binder on because they could not find one small enough to fit me! That was weird! LOL!
My bum looks good due to the butt augmentation, but to tell you the truth that has been the worst part of it all. I'm almost 6 weeks out and it's still very tendor and sore. I still can't sit and lay normally. I really do think if I went back I'd skip that part of it. Of course, I'm sure I'll be thrilled that I did it later once I am back to normal.
Now I need my boobs done, a small portion of my arms and I'm debating the thigh lift. I hear that one is the worst recovery and mine don't look terrible except when I sit and then it all pools around me.
