12wks today - I had my apt with the surgeon 2wks ago and she just seemed to dismiss my concerns - the area that makes my inner leg profile irregular she just said was minor. I told her she didn't do the little muffins that extend around the front from the hips - she looked at them puzzled (BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL THERE) then after quite a wait she produced my pre photos (SCAREY) which showed that area marked in texter so she assures me that she did it. I can see no change in this area at all, she said it may just be skin but there are definitely fat pods there. What I would like to know is how she could even manage to get to the area at the front when the only incision I have is on my lower back (I had 3 incisions just for the inner knee so how do you explain no incision for the front) I think I will get a second opinion as to weather it is possible to get to that front area from the back and if it's not she will have to do something. Sorry to complain - I was so excited about my thighs being gone at first I didn't really give much thought to the rest but as time has gone on I've been thinking I've paid thousands of dollars for these other areas so they are just as important. At the moment I feel like my hips aren't great either but I have been back on my home gym so I am wondering if there is a bit of swelling there again. My doc said all my swelling should be gone now??? Anyway I must say I love putting on my jeans and not feeling self conscious!!! Also when I went for my apt she didn't weigh me or do my measurements - why do this pre surgery if your not going to do them for comparison post. I think I will ring them today and get my measurements and a copy of pre and post photos.

Yeah another Aussie - Thanks, I feel so much better in my own skin these days, I'm so glad I did this for myself. I checked out your pics, your surgeon has done a fabulous job - you have a six pack - looks great, congratulations. Hope you have a speedy recovery - it's a bit of a slow process but worth it!

Hi Bjausie I think you look great! You mentioning swelling after using the gym is making me wonder if that is what my problem is? I've just been away at a training camp - averaging 2 hours hard training every day, eating well etc. And I seemed to get lumpier during the week! And weighed 2kg MORE on my return. My doc dismissed my concerns too. But I'm still happy overall and hope you are too.

Swelling after exercise is fairly common in the first few months. I would still wear the compression garment during exercise. Failing that you can always have more MLD. Looks like you recovered well though. Dr Wolf

Hi Sally - Nice to hear from you - You sound like a real fitness fanatic - Wish I was - I'm sure the exercise is playing a part with swelling/lumps and weight so it should be great when it all settles. I'm really happy in clothes but I'm going to get into the exercise and see if I can tone up a bit!!

Well it's 9 weeks post today - and I can hear my kids in the kitchen cooking me bacon and eggs for my birthday!! - My hips still have some swelling (i hope that's what it is) but I didn't really do the MLD back there very well cause it was a bit awkward. Still get a tiny bit of swelling in the legs but hardly worth mentioning. I've lost 5 or 6 cm off my thighs YEAH!! I'm not sure what my knee measurement was but It's heaps less as well. I still get minor sensations that let me know I've had the surgery but pretty much back to normal. I am a little disappointed that I have found a couple of small spots that appear a little irregular - the profile line of my inner leg a couple of inches above the knee is different on the left leg compared to the right - but I finally go back to the surgeon on Tuesday for my 2nd post op visit. I have been very slack as it's a 5hr drive and with xmas and work it just hasn't happened yet. The other disappointing thing is she was meant to do the little muffins that extend from the hips to around the front a little and she didn't touch them so that I am very upset about!! My partner also tells me that side on it has made it look as though my buttocks droop :( and I think he is right but anyway it's all better than THUNDER THIGHS!! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their progress!! xx I finally have more pics to show! P.S I think the skin tightening above my knees has been somewhat successful but it certainly doesn't look like when I was 20!!

That was so thorough! I appreciate it very much. I had lipo a million years ago, twice! But I would like to do it again though my skin is aged. Thanks again! Alice

Do you think you will be able to do it again - it's a big decision isn't it when you have to consider sagging as side effect. Vazer supposedly helps tighten the skin ?? At 46 I was worried about sagging but you wouldn't even know. My doctor put the vaser probe under the skin above my knee as I have mentioned above - and I really think it has helped but I still don't want to get to excited incase there is still a bit of swelling puffing the dimples out. You are probably your own worst critique (as we all are) and maybe it would be OK. What lipo did you have in the past and did the results last a long time?? Thanks bj

Thanks! Mine did last quite a while but my skin was much younger then. The kind I had was the old fashioned kind with a cannula and a sort of jabbing motion b the doctor. There are visible lines on my legs and the tight band on the girdle is very obvious on one leg. I don't know wht I will get because my skin is so dimply now from age and my skin has that crepe paper texture.
