I had a thigh lift with groin incision, breast aug and TT July 2018. The thigh lift didnt improve loose skin after a 100lb weight loss. TT left a lot of loose skin. On April 15th I had a revision on the tummy and thigh... again the thigh had little to no improvement. Asked my doctor for a 3rd revision? Would another surgeon fix this? I still have sag! Maybe he didnt do Lipo with the medial thigh revision. Also, is the bruising normal? I am 2 weeks 3 days post op and its sore to the touch.
I am being closely monitored by my amazing surgeon, but I would appreciate some additional advice on what I should be doing in terms of movement to help this close faster. My surgeon says to do whatever I feel comfortable with pain wise but I am now 2 weeks post op so pain is minimal and I am aware getting on and off of chairs is pulling at the incision. The current protocol is shower twice a day using an anti microbial wash, covering the open area with Vaseline and covering with sterile swab.
5/4 had a medial thigh lift where it has left me now w/2 open incisions in the upper thigh/groin area. doc said to put saline soaked gauze into one of the open holes.How long does this take to heal? noticed the other leg now has a little hole too.Im becoming very discouraged & depressed. I am on 2 antibiotics, bractrim & cipro 2xday. They say this is normal. what can I do make them heal quicker and avoid it getting any bigger?? Is it really that common?Should I seek help elsewhere?
Ihad a medial thigh lift 15 days ago, and experienced extreme swelling of the labia, which my surgeon said would reduce to normal in a week or so. However, I'm still unable to walk, sit, or even stand for long because the swelling makes these activities very painful. I haven't read of anyone else complaining of this; is this usual? If so, how long is it likely to last? And most importantly - what can I do for some relief?
After a medial thigh lift on December 19 right ankle is very swollen I called Dr he sent me to ER for ultrasound to check for blood clot dvt test came back negative with good blood flow told me to wear compression socks but it's not getting any better should I be worried also behind knee is very swollen
Thigh lift 2wks ago. I hv open area on both thighs. The one on left thigh is pretty large and draining really bad. The back of my thighs are hard. I was instructed to wear my compression garment to control swelling but it's completely soiled within 2 to 3 hrs. Any suggestions? Draining beyond my control.
I had a TT and thigh lift 8 weeks ago. I went home from the hospital with a compression garment for my tummy but I was not told to wear one for my thighs. I was told to stay mobile to prevent blood clots. At one week I was driving and even grocery shopping. I am very worried that something has come undone with my left thigh. My PS says that it is too early to tell. Would I have a better result if I had worn a garment? I am also worried about my tummy bulge but my PS says it is not a seroma.
