Thigh lift. It's just very tight. But Tt is so sore! How
Long we're u on pain meds? Will u have a scar going
Down leg? I do almost to my knee. I keep them wrapped with ace
Bandages. I have no drains in legs which I read lots
Of surgeons do. And two in stomach. What part
Of Ohio do u live?

Hope your doing well with your surgery. I'm from Ohio & having my thigh lift on 1/31/12 and getting nervous. I had a TT 7 months ago and now my inner thighs bulge out and my pants don't fit over them. My daughter calls them my lumps lol. Hope you keep posting your recovery.
