Surgery yesterday - body lift, thigh lift, arm lift, flankplasty, breast lift

When you get all healed up, you will have the body of a 25 year old and ready to rock it!  I let the girls over on Real Self know that you came through surgery fine and you were doing great. 

Thanks for doing that!!!

I so cannot wait to see my body 6 weeks from now! I am showing the nurses here the befores and afters from my tummy tuck because they were thinking about getting a TT with Dr. Capella. After seeing my photos I think they will. I told them to go for it. I am so happy that I finally did.

So, I am absolutely in love with my thighs. I cannot believe he did such a perfect job. I was afraid that my contour might not be perfect, but it is. My thighs look perfectly normal, not like surgery thighs -- except the incision of course. Of course I must be biased as these are my thighs, but honestly, I think these are the best thighs I've ever seen a surgeon do. The aids here keep stroking them with their hands and cannot believe I am 49yo.

Then there is my mons revision. I look perfect now. I did not know that he could revise me so nicely. I love the way that I look there, finally! I think its the cutest mons I've ever seen. LOL

And my arms and flanks and breasts look wonderful. I cannot believe how small my arms are -- and they're still swollen! And the area between the arms and the breast -- the flanks -- is firm, no more bulges under and over my bra. My boobs look pretty, and youthful. They are small, a B from a D, but shaped lovely. My body looks like the body of someone in their twenties. 

I've shown a bunch of ladies here at the care center my before TT pix and they're all saying, that was you?!?!?! Then I show them my 4-mos post TT pic and they all now want Dr. C to do them, LOL!

I cannot really see my back and ass so I'll have to report on those later. 

I am soooooooooo glad that I did this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much did it all cost?

Including the tummy tuck that I had in April, all told was about $25k for surgeon, OR, anesthesia, care center, ambulance transport. 

So, why did you get a tummy tuck first and then a lower body lift? Don't people usually just do the lower body lift? I'm just curious. I'm so far away from plastics, but I'm trying to plan. 25K for everything seems great and I hear Dr. Capella does amazing work. He's definitely someone I'd like to get a consult with in the Spring.

I hope that you're feeling ok - that's A LOT of work in one surgery!!

I think that you would be very pleased with your results from Dr. Capella. As for me, I did not know if I wanted all of this surgery so I tried out the tummy tuck first and from there made a go or no go decision. 

I am feeling fine. I just wish that I could stand up straight. I'll tell you what, I feel a heck of a lot better than when I had the tummy tuck.

All of those surgeries at once and  yet the tummy tuck was rougher? That's crazy! Did you have muscle tightening then? Maybe that's why... 

Thanks for answering the question. I've heard almost 100% positive things about him and his work. Plastics seems so far away.. I hope I can get there someday too

Yes, exactly, the muscle plication is what hurts like heck, as well as all the undermining. 

I was going to try to do my surgery in November but have decided to wait until January. I have an international trip in march, so let me know what your recovery is like.  I may have to do my thighs. I have been doing weights on my legs and my inner thighs are just saggy skin, at this point. I also may need a facelift/neck lift, as well. I am using collagen enhancer and fighting it but we will see.

My lower pelvis and mons area is crazy looking. I would love love love to have that go away! That and the skin hanging over my bra behind my armpit. That didn't pop up until the last 5 pounds lol
