I had lower body lift and spiral thigh lift 10 days ago. All is going well but I'm wondering when the pulling around my thighs with ease up? It feels like I have elastic band around them.
Answer: Banding around the thighs 10 days post "spiral" vertical #ThighLift: is this normal? Thank you for your questions.It would be helpful to us to see a few pictures if possible.It is common to get some bandings post op after a vertical (spiral) thigh lift. A spiral thigh lift is a slight modification of the vertical thigh lift. We can also see bandings after full arm brachioplasty for the same reasons. This is normally due to edema and a relatively tight closure. As the swelling (edema) resolves and the skin stretches slighlty, the banding normally disappears.Be reassured. You seem to be healing normally.Let us know if this information was useful.

Answer: Thigh Lift Recovery My experience is that a solid 2-3 weeks is needed before you start feeling less tight after a thigh lift. By that time the you can expect that pulling sensation to persist. One of the things I recommend is a toilet seat extender - my patients tell me it makes a huge difference until things loosen up a bit.Good Luck!

Answer: Tightness after Thighlift Thank you for your question.You are 10 days post-op from the thigh lift, so you are very early in the healing process. The tightness you are feeling is very common and can take months before it is gone completely. The more skin that is removed, the more pulling you will feel. The pulling sensation is from tightening the skin and swelling after surgery, it can almost limit your range of motion in your legs. Over the next couple weeks you notice it decrease each week. Good luck with your recovery.
