Topic: RE: Day 41 post LBL, medial thigh lift

Hi there!
I found your post on a google search because I just had a thigh lift done and both sides have opened on the groin area. Did you use the medihoney patches on it?
my doctor told me to use silvasorb but I don't see any results from that.

Thank You ??

I definitely talked to him about what I wanted. He said he could get the results with pulling my skin from my back pulled forward and my Fuba pulled up to tighten that up also. He did cut me from my belly button and down around my stomach on the bottom, I started talking about what was wrong the 1st time I seen him after it all. Why is my upper stomach still big? I thought my Fuba was supposed to be lifted ETC. He told me it was swelling. Which was NOT the case. I also woke up with the tube down my throat and unable to move. For over 8 hours....being shocked in my temple I was allergic to the medication ( the muscle relaxant ) not good!!! He just didn't care as much as he said he did. Sorry I hope you can understand my wandering mind. Make sure you figure out what you want and need before. Don't be like me and think they will take care of everything!!

Thank you for this! Yea, I won't be going to someone just because they are the cheapest. I watch too much "Botched" for that

I get it, I wouldn't let age stop you if you are healthy overall. I have a friends who are in their 60's who have had surgery to help with their body image. See if you can go to a different surgeon (or more than 1) and get a quote(s)!

I have heard that some surgeons will go all out and tell you what they think you may need (which I wouldn't like that, honestly because they are pointing out what THEY think your flaws are) and others who will only address the issues you present to them with or even what is covered under your insurance plan. I am learning that I need to go in with questions ahead of time so I don't forget anything!

Hi again, I can not figure out why my Plastic surgeon wouldn't have told me the truth. I would have tried to work out how much extra it would have been. I don't remember if I stated how much I lost with my Panni, I lost 10 plus pounds and like most people I didn't have a weight change. he stood to make money if he had told me everything. But I feel like he thought because we had talked about a breast lift and thought I would jump on and let him do Lipo at the same time. Now at this point ( I'm 62 years old) and I just don't see myself having Lipo or a Tummy tuck. I say all the time that "it is what it is". Still get a little sad because even maintaining 127#'s lost I'm still uncomfortable with my body. I guess it could be worse....RIGHT? I hope you get everything you want done. ASK MANY ???

I am so sorry that happened. I can't imagine why they wouldn't tell you that, too. Are you going to see about going to a different surgeon for the issues you are experiencing?

Thank you. You bring on some very valid points. I hate that tings are so engrained and I just cant wrap my head around some things! I am pretty hard headed too!
