Thanks for your perspective. I'm just so ready to have it out and to be allowed to do more things that I am getting impatient.

I was an hourglass before plastics. with the LBL my butt is gone. but the augment is too high up, it is above my tailbone.

The pic with the dress was before plastics and they grey leggings were pre plastics. the other pics shows the double lump I have with my butt augment.

I tried to run with my kid the other day and I had to hold onto my leggings because they were sliding off. my husband jokes that I need suspenders.

I don't want a big butt, I just want a butt and in the place it should be. I'm thinking a bbl may be in my future. My breast lift was botched as well and i know i'm going to need a revision there. they did a lollipop and should have done an anchor.

it is so depressing.

Hi folks,

I had an extended abdominoplasty and extended mastopexy on May 18 and overall I am healing well. My incisions look great, except my belly button is still a bit crusty and the bottom of the abdominal incision is somewhat scabby. Other than that everything is beautiful! My RNY was an open incision and it didn't heal very well. The PS had to cut the whole incision out and restitch to put in my belly button. I am impressed with how much better it looks!

I am very happy to have the sagging skin gone from my belly and to have perky smaller breasts. My upper abdomen is definitely flatter but my lower belly swells as the day goes on and sometimes aches. My PS is very pleased with the results and my progress, but my final drain (left side of abdomen) is still putting out about 5-7.5 cc overnight and 10-15 cc during the day. He wants to leave the drain in a few more days until it isn't putting out as much. I am feeling frustrated that it has to stay in. It is really uncomfortable and on the side that I like to sleep on so I'd love to have it out. He says not to worry, but I'm feeling frustrated.

Also I had hoped to go back to work next week but I'll have to see whether the drain comes out by then. In the meantime, I am doing some telework and resting every couple of hours.

Here are three pics from this morning for reference:

If anyone has ideas of what else I can do to reduce the drainage, I would appreciate it. In the meantime I just try to put my feet up regularly.

I know the degree of thigh lifts can vary, but having had a full thigh lift, I suggest having that in a separate surgery. Highest rate of minor complications of the surgeries.

Plus being able to use my arms to maneuver was crucial.

I'm really struggling to imagine how it sits on your hips? Did you look at my recent post? You can see my butt? How would it flip down? I'm so confused, lol!
