 I'm getting a tummy tuck and breast aug on dec. 28th!!!
Around 6 weeks after I should be getting the thigh lift and arm lift.

For those who got the thigh lift and arm lift together...did you regret getting the two at the same time? 

Also..My incision will only go from one hip bone to the other for the tummy tuck..did any of you wish you would have gotten the incision all the way around? i've been told that the bigger the incision the better the results..any input? Thanks in advance!!

   Hey surgery sister...I am having surgery on Dec. 28th also. I am having TT and thighs. The top half will have to wait another year or so.
I was talking to my Dr about LBL but I don't have much "back fat" he said all it would do is basically make my already flat butt look even flatter. I have most of my skin on the stomach area. The sides and the back are pretty "sculpted"......he said he would be going a little farther back than the hip bone (extended T.T. I think it is called) and it will help a little with the outer hips.....but he won't be going all the way around. I guess it all depends on how much weight was lost and where you carried it the most. Some people carry it all over, some more in the hips or stomach.....I was definently a stomach carrier.
   Oh my....I can not wait until Dec 28th!!!

I agree with Penny- I think the type of incision/ surgery depends on how much you have to be removed. I had an extended panniculectomy/ lbl with abdominal tightening almost 6 weeks ago. I'm really happy with how smooth everything looks but I was definitely suffering from muffintopitis and back fat so I had to go with the larger incision to get the desired results. I'm sure your surgeon would have recommended something other than a TT if he/she thought it was necessary but there's no harm in asking. Goodluck with everything!! (both of you! How funny you guys are doing this on the same day). And keep us updated on how it goes.... I'm getting my arms and boobs done in a few months but I'm also interested in getting those inner thighs taken care of so I am especially interested in hearing about other's thigh/boob/arm experiences.

I cant comment on the other stuff, but the tummy tuck, I wish I had gone a little more around the left flank to the back. The right side came out great but I still have somewhat of a love handle on the left flank that will cost me $1500.00 to revise. Good luck with your surgeries.
