I thought I would only need a TT and ended up having the LBL.

I'll be 5 weeks out on Monday.  It would have been a mistake for me not to have the full lift.

I had LBL-and so glad I did! 

When I had the consult, he did the same thing...grabbed handfuls of skin and showed me how the LBL would fix it.  I had two really large pockets of skin/fat on my upper butt.........and now they are gone!  pants fit so much better now......

Will there be any impact on thighs from lbl with fdl? Do you still wear the same size pants?

I needed the LBL due to my back skin.  It also tightened up my butt and outside thighs.  I had the butt flaps inserted too, so that the top part of my butt is more rounded.  I only wish I'd done the UBL at the same tiime.  Now, I'm back having the UBL to finish up.  The loose skin just doesn't go away.  If your PS recommends the LBL go for it.  It's easier getting it done with one surgery than 2.

I did just the TT thinking my thighs were fine, but regret it.  Apparently I was so focused on the disgusting looking tummy that I hadn't noticed how bad my butt & upper thighs were, because as soon as I looked at myself in the mirror after the tummy tuck, the rest stood out like a sore thumb!!  If I had it to do over, I'd definitely go with the LBL!!!

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance.  Unknown

You can email [email protected] with your pics and he'll give you a quote and tell you what he would recommend.  Sometimes, procedures change a bit when he gets his hands on your, but it will give you another consult.
