Topic: RE: No compression garment after thigh lift - what to wear?

Hello everyone- I have a thigh lift scheduled for Oct. 1st. It'll be a doozy - from groin to ankle basically. My surgeon doesn't use compression garments and I'm wondering if anyone has been in the same situation and the best thing to wear for post-surgery recovery. A skirt/dress so there's no rubbing on the bandages? Or loose pants so my legs aren't rubbing against each other? I forgot to ask him if there'll be a drain (I didn't have one for my arm lift but did for my tummy tuck) so I'm not sure if that's a factor too

If your surgeon doesn't recommend compression garments, you might want to go for something comfy like loose pants or a dress/skirt to avoid rubbing on the bandages. Oh, and don't forget to ask your surgeon about the drain situation. Better safe than sorry. Good luck with your surgery and take care! ?

Topic: RE: Insurance approval for breast lift?

If your procedure is not covered by insurance, there are other options to consider, such as financing plans or crowdfunding websites like GoFundMe. However, it's important to do your research and understand the potential risks and benefits of these options before making a decision.

Topic: RE: Tummy tuck surgery in the Europe

No, I didn't travel to Prague. The consultation was online and no charge for it. I sent photos and we communicated via email and phone. And it worked fine. Then the doctor saw me anyway before the surgery and did a check-up.

Hi. What about the consultation? Did you travel there to have one? I mean, the trip would cost extra.

You should do some exercises or get a tummy tuck. The tummy tuck can help you deal with your excess skin

Topic: RE: Liposuction

In July of 2004, I had liposuction of the abdomen and outer and inner thighs. The thigh lift did not improve my opinion of my appearance. About three weeks ago, I decided to get liposuction. My expectations were not met, but I am still quite satisfied with the outcome. My lower body is much improved. The swelling has not gone down yet. Expect to sustain numerous bruises. Take some before and after images and show them to your doctor. I wish you all the best.

You can have a look at the Forme clinic in Prague. It's been a long time since I had surgery there, but I liked it. Nice clinic, doctor was great and only 2 hours from London for me.
