It has been one long recovery but so far it has been worth it. I fit into pants thatI never would have fit into before. I returned to work three days ago and I feel great. Today is raining and I feel swollen and sore like never before. I started using a scar cream and I hope it really helps. I am scared to start the gym as I feel so much tightness from the incisions. I guess I can try next week.
I am going up stairs without difficulty and walking better. I am very happy because I am feeling bit more like myself with every passing day.

4 weeks in and yet more incision separation.
Yesterday was my 4th week post op and I am feeling much better. I am trying to stay positive but it is difficult seeing that I have yet two more incision separations. I will say that the first one seems to be getting better but the two new ones are quite raw. I feel lots of pressure in between my thighs but no pain. I still take Tylenol at night because in the middle of the night I do feel swollen and get aches in the incisions. I am walking more but still don't feel confident getting into and out of my Jeep since I find it high. I am considering asking the doctor if I could return to work a week early since I feel able to. I much rather use a week on a fun vacation on a tropical island than being at home bored out of my mind. I have an appointment this Monday and I will be meeting with my Plastic surgeon for the first time since surgery on 8/9/17.

Hey -sorry you are having these complications. The right side looks great! Left side the openings seem relatively small but I know it is really hard to deal with when it is on you. The tab in the back is hard to see...hope you don't have to get it cut off but it will probably be a pretty minor in-office procedure if that is the case. Keep us posted. I think if you feel up to work go back! I hear you completely on the tropical island. Next year you'll be there and have wondrous legs!!

Feeling worried and discouraged
I had a very difficult time with constipation last week and needed an Enema. I had 13 days without going to the bathroom. I was feeling much better until Sunday morning when I saw incision separation on the left thigh. It was small but yesterday when I looked it was bigger. The nurse said separation is expected 100% of the time and not to worry as my the color of the tissue indicated that I am healing fine. She instructed me to cover it with a non-adherent pad until it looks better. I must see the surgeon in two weeks for the first time since surgery on 8/9/17. He is super popular and seeing him is often difficult. I just hope to not have anymore setbacks. I am currently afraid move around and have this happen in other areas. I need to start seeing the light!!!!!!! ????

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. I know that feeling and it sucks. You think you're supposed to be getting better and then these complications set you back. Its frustrating and makes you angry. It WILL get better though - for sure. It may take longer than you expected or wanted it to but it will eventually get better and will just be part of your story to how you got beautiful thighs. Thinking of you now... Just keep the padding on it and keep it dry. It will improve with time.
