The surgery was performed in a hospital verses a surgery center and I spent the night in the hospital. The next day my daughter took me home and took care of me. I would not recommend skipping the hospital stay or going home alone. I needed help for a few days.
I had Vicodan and ibruprofen for the pain (I was off the Vicodan in a few days and took the Ibruprofen for 2 weeks). I will take iron tablets and vitamin C three times a day for a month. I will wear a surgical compression garment from my midcalf to my waist for months. It is similar to Spanx but has a zipper fly and is more comfortable than I expected.
I was bruised, tender and my legs were swollen due to the edema. Dr O'Sullivan went over everything with me in advance so there were no surprises. I am 3 weeks out and loving my new thighs! I noticed a difference immediately after the surgery and as the edema lessens they get better and better. I will update this post as I heal.
My Doctor: Kimberley O'Sullivan, MD
My rating:
She is not just an exceptional surgeon - she is a healer. Her hands changed my body but more importantly she went above and beyond by reaching out and healing my negative body image. She spent a great deal of time with me before the surgery answering all of my questions and giving me several options while never making me feel rushed. She always treated me like a person not a patient number. She is equally professional and personable. The follow-up care is exceptional - she contacted me often and encouraged me to contact her with any concerns. You will NOT find a better surgeon!
Thanks for your update Lynn. I look forward to seeing how you progress through the healing period.
