Not sure what Robyn's case is.

For me, my legs are really toned, always have been, except for a weird fat pocket on my upper, inner thigh. I love my legs but won't wear shorts because of that one spot. The skin on the rest of my legs is also really tight. My surgeon recommended just doing the lipo first and seeing how they react. There is a possibility they could just snap back, or I could be okay with the skin. Also since I would only need a groin cut he doesn't like doing it with the tummy tuck since the incisions would meet. If I do decide to get them lifted ill do it with my breast lift (and maybe reduction) if I decide to do that down the road.

My doc didn't want to do the inner thigh lift at the same time as the LBL becuase the skin would be pulling in opposing ways. I had a pocket of fat at the top of each thigh that I could see thru my pants. Used to bug me like crazy. My doc agreed to do the lipo and actually the LBL has helped lift the thigh skin a little (not a lot, but some laxity has gone away)

I am so very happy that my posts are helping you. Folks that posted before me, helped me understand and get ready, so I really wanted to pay that back.

If you have any questions, let me know and I'll do my best to answer. Good luck on your journey.

Thank You to the both of you. The DD thinks I need a LBL but, my main issue is my thighs.

RNY on 09/27/10

When I went for my consultation I told my surgeon what was bothering me the most and he made his recommendation. He still went back and forth on what kind of tummy tuck was going to work better and asked if I would be okay if he made the decision when he was in the or and could see what the skin was actually doing. Since I trust him and he's been very honest and frank with me the whole process I let him, and so far so good!
