I havent been around for a while and decided I better post an update of the progress made. I was hoping to have a thigh lift this December, but, due to $$$ and hating the thought of another surgery soooo soon, I have decided to wait until summer.

I had a Lower Body Lift on July 11, 2011 .
Hang in there with the swelling. I have really noticed the difference that those evil refined carbs have on my body!!! I bloat up like a fish! So be patient and always focus on your protein first of course.
Happy Thanks Giving everyone,

Lovely result!! Do you feel like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon of skin? Your PS did a good job with your bellybutton, it looks natural. The belly button is very hard to get right. I have noticed the same thing already with carbs, as soon as I have a cookie I get really thirsty and my hips bloat up.

I'm a little confused by the markings on your stomach in the pre-op photo, did he cut out a portion on your upper abdomen or was that just another measurement of some type? I don't see a vertical incision scar.

Hi Lizzy
Thank You!
Originally we were talking about doing an anchor cut, but he felt strongly that a LBL would be best. Now I am so glad for it, my bottom even looks better, no ripples.

He gave me his copy of notes, thats why you see the makings on the paper that way.
