LBL versus anchor cut extended TT

I am apple shaped have gone from 312 to 158.  My preferred  plastic surgeon does mostly anchor cut but I see that the LBL also has good results.

What is the difference between the two and why did you choose one over the other.

I carried alot of weight in my upper back and still have back fat.  I have no butt but do have pretty saggy legs.  Does one surgery pull more of the inner legs than the other or will I still need a thigh lift.

I intend to do arms and breast lift and reduction as well. 

I am trying to find a good site that explains all the various surgeries but can't find one with pics.  Can anyone suggest one.

A lower body lift will include a TT - I just had a LBL with an anchor cut TT component. The LBL will pull up the outer thighs and butt whereas just a TT will not. If you want anything done to the inner thighs you will need a separate thigh lift. It sounds like you may also need an upper body lift to address the back fat. 

I just went to Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mx and had everything done - arms, BL/BA,, LBL (w the anchor cut) and a thigh lift. Dr. S did miracles with my shape and took my pancake flat butt and made it nice and round. 

I have pics on my profile - send me a PM and i'll give you the password. 

Thanks so much.  Since they updated the website I no longer know how to send a PM.  I am old lol.  Can you tell me how and I will .  I am very interested in Dr. S but scared to go out of country especially Mexico.  I have read such good things about him but just don't know.

Did you have butt implants done or did he just use your own tissue?  I didn't know Anchor and LBL  was done.  So much to learn.

I had the LBL because I wanted the better result that it provided.  Sounds like it would benefit you as well, from your description.

I chose the LBL because while I had loose skin on my stomach, my backside had two large pockets of fat/skin on the upper buttocks that no exercise or dieting would touch.  I did get a good result on my outer thighs as well.  Inner thighs can only be fixed by a separate procedure.

I'm very happy with my results.  If I could slow down for 5 minutes I'd get some pictures put up!!

I have a question about the pockets of fat/skin on your backside, if you don't mind. (does that sound as awful as I think it does?)

Are you talking about the area where your thumbs would rest if you put your hands on your hips like you might if you were feeling impatient or tapping your foot at a wayward child? I've got large pockets there too and while they have shrunk overall as the rest of me has, they are still big. They looked HUGE in the photos the ps took at my consult. He seemed to think a LBL would take care of them--at least I think so. I was there just to gather information and get an estimate so I could start planning and saving; he talked about a LOT of things and it's all somewhat blurry in my mind at this point.

I've looked at lots of before/after photos and haven't come across fat pads like that, except in one photo of many. Did the LBL take care of those for you?

Yes! That is exactly where they were.....gone now! Now I'm rather flat on the backside-but I'll take that over those fat pockets! I really got a lot of improvement in my thighs on the sides too!

Dr S uses your own tissue for butt flaps.  If you do a search for butt flaps, I posted my markup pic and then where they are on my upper butt.
