I am 1 week out from an inner thigh lift and lipo on thighs. Will this get better and tighter?

Question

Although, they look better...my thighs still look swollen and jiggle when i move them....

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Most patients return to work 1-3 weeks following surgery, although it is important to remember that healing is a gradual process, and you should avoid any strenuous physical activity that could stress the incision sites for several weeks. Most of the swelling and discoloration will dissipate in 1-2 months. Give yourself at least 6 months to heal and for the swelling to resolve and scars to mature. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

First off, congratulations on your thigh lift, jane7788!
It takes time before you see the final results of your thigh lift, usually around 6 months to one year, when swelling has completely dissipated.
Just be patient and don’t forget to go on follow-up checkups with your reputable and board-certified plastic surgeon.
Good luck!
