Is this normal healing 3-weeks post medial thigh lift? (Photo)

April 17, 2018
Asked By:ej_heck in Kentucky, KY

I had medial thigh lift surgery 3 weeks ago. My incisions aren't healing well at all; I can't walk normal, climb stairs, etc. Is this a normal issue? Any suggestions to help me heal faster?
