I'm 5 weeks post op from 360 lower body lift with FDL, muscle repair, mons lift, lipo to flanks/lower back, fat transfer to butt, BL and BA (300cc mentor high profile, UTM). I'd previously lost about 150lbs, and I'm pretty thrilled with the impact on my thighs and butt from this whole thing, as well as general healing.

The first week was absolutely grim and the muscles both in my chest and stomach really stopped me from being able to be independent - but after about maybe day 10, things started improving in big leaps. Now I just can't wait to be able to do things like go to the sauna and go bouldering. Swelling was horrendous in the first week and now is pretty localised around lipo sites, with it going up by the end of the day.

I've really benefitted from reading people's stories and seeing their pictures, so I thought I'd add mine now. I'm 14DPO from my procedure, which I had in Turkey. I'm from the UK so traveled over with my husband and stayed for just over a week post-op.

Prior to plastics, I had a gastric sleeve in 2022 and lost about 150lbs. So I've now had a 360 lower body lift with FDL and muscle repair, lipo to the flanks/back/lower belly, fat transfer to butt, mons lift, BL + BA. My implants are 300cc Mentor High Profile (round), and dual plane with a lollipop incision. He took about 3.2kg tissue and 2L fat.

The first, say, 6 days were a bit fucking rough and I had so much pain around the chest in particular and I was hugely swollen everywhere. But the pain is largely gone now, everything's nicely closed, life feels remarkably easy and swelling is really coming in. From day 3 post op, I was on cocodamol only and have pretty much stopped now. No clue what meds they had me on the first 2 days, but I know I had the exparel shot in the lower belly too.

That's all I can think of to include, but any questions about the experience or surgeon etc, ask away! Also hi to my lurking pal who will no doubt recognise my pics and story!
