Lipo Inner & Outer Thighs: 29 Years Old - Nashville, TN

Yah! So excited for you! Please keep me posted with pictures. Looking back now, I just remember thinking is this swelling ever going to go down? and it really does take multiple multiple weeks to go down. I feel like after 1 month it will have gone down almost all the way, but 3 months later it will be down even a little further. Glad you are doing well. Don't worry about the scale-just keep comparing before and after pictures. That is where you are going to see the most results.

No I never gained anything back in my thighs but I have also not gained weight from before my surgery. However I think that if I did gain weight it would go to my stomach and not my legs now. The loose skin definitely tightened up a lot, but i still notice a little bit of it. Mainly when I am sitting indian style on a chair or on the floor. The sides of my legs were just so deflated after the surgery due to the lack of fat there. It is much better now.

Good luck! Let me know how it goes!

I just got it done on my inner and outer thighs. I really have been working out and watching what I eat even more so from before I had my surgery. All of my weight starting going straight to my stomach after surgery though, so I didn't want that either! lol! I think it really gave me a jump start and the motivation to live an even healthier life (which I thought I was doing great before-but definitely could have been better in hind-sight). Putting on the garment when I was swollen was by far the worst thing. I moved to spanx probably by the 4th day I think (approved by my doctor), but taking those on and off was horrible. I just would try to get through it as fast as possible-but I don't have any great tips :(

Sorry for the late results post! 7 months later! It definitely has been a journey and I feel like I continue to see new changes everyday. Overall-I think the surgery is definitely worth it. There were a few things I wasn't 100% prepared for, so I thought I would share. Now when I have a couple bad days of eating or not working out, I see the results on my stomach-which is fine, just something that is interesting. I used to always just gain weight right in my legs/butt/saddlebags. The other thing was that even after surgery, I could tell I was smaller, but my one leg was still bigger than the other. You can also see that there is a concaveness (word?) to my legs. I knew that they wouldn't be perfectly symmetrical-but this was just something I had to get used to and I am completely fine with it. The last thing was the saggy skin left behind. It is almost completely tightened up now 7 months later or at least a lot better. After 3 months from the surgery-I was completely unswollen but when I would sit on a chair in shorts or sit indian style, the skin that used to hold my saddlebags was completely flat on the chair bottom lol. Again-I am okay with that because at least its not cellulite anymore-its just skin-but at times I would look down and be like OMG! I need to stand up! My doctor was really good-but his staff is absolutely amazing-I loved them all. I absolutely love the way my butt and legs look now in leggings and workout pants. As far as weight goes, I didn't really lose any weight-maybe a pound or two-but nothing significant. I think after reading and talking more with people, if you are wanting to really get rid of fat in an area-you might as well do lipo. The other less invasive procedures seem to cost a lot (maybe not as much but close) with dramatically less effects since you are never really Removing fat cells just shrinking them. Please let me know if I can help anyone!
