Hey all - I am having a butt lift, with no implants -- just skin removal.

11 days later I am hosting a dinner party. Bad timing, I know. The dinner party was already planned, involves my entire neighborhood, cannot be changed - so it is happening. My surgery was moved thanks to a schedule conflict - so that is why they are so close together.

Think I can handle it? I basically have to be presentable, chat with neighbors -- supervise my husband. I think I can handle it. I don't know anyone that had just a butt lift. I know there are some LBL folks here though.

I think you will be fine. I had a lbl with buttock auto-augmentation and a breast lift and went to a party 16 days later. It was tough but I made it.

You'll probably be okay.

Hi Sherrie....

I had a butt lift, tummy tuck and breast augmentation at the same time.... Although, I didn't feel like "partying" I can asure you, you will feel fine :)

Good luck with your surgery!
