I had my inner and outer thighs done and workout 6x a week. I had to walk for first 3 weeks. I couldnt run as even with compression garment on, it still felt like my thighs were heavy and stretching with each stride. I certainly didn't want to mess up my post surgery results. I am same height and 41. Back to full runs at 2 1/2 months post.
Thanks for sharing your story and your pics! Looking good. I too had the same procedure and am the same age. My procedure was Oct. 27th and was told by my physician that 4 months will be the TRUE "show-all" point. I was told several times by the office staff that many are frustrated at the 2 month mark, so hang in there! I am very happy with my results and it is still changing every day.
I run as well and felt that the pain of the area jiggling was concerning to me that I may "disrupt" the healing so I opted for other cardio equipment. I am running now at the 2 month mark!
