Want to Love my Thighs!!

Wow. Can't believe I'm a little over a week away. I've been on this site for ages and it's great. I consulted with my plastic surgeon who I've gone to for Botox, filler and IPL. I wanted to do my inner knees. That alone was $5200. He wanted to use general anesthesia and use a surgery center. I absolutely did not want to be knocked out and from everything I've read this could be an in office procedure.

Once I was talking to him I asked about my inner thighs as well. Price went up to $7200. The whole thing wasn't feeling right. I don't have a lot of fat to remove BTW. This plastic surgeon as well another I used to see were very anti smart lipo. Called it gimmicky and a marketing "thing".

I went to see another doctor that performs smart lipo in office. I immediately liked him and his assistant. The whole energy was different. Cost to do both inner knees and inner thighs was $3900. OMG. I couldn't believe I was making the appointment. But it felt right. Fingers crossed my intuition is spot on!

I posed the question on RS and the responses confirmed my feeling the smart lipo was the way to go. Less bruising/ swelling and minimal down time.

Well. We're here. Can't really believe. Excited and nervous. Going to take pictures in the morning. Wish me luck!

Quite an adventure. Dr. Satchi and Rachel were amazing. Very relaxed and caring. Since I was having my inner knees and thighs done I had to lay in a frog position. That was probably the hardest part of the whole procedure. From beginning to end was about 4 hours. Honestly, there was next to no pain except my lower back and legs from staying in the same position. I felt a tiny bit of pain a few times and Dr. Satchi stopped and added more anesthesia.

Very sore right after procedure, just moved very slowly. Not as much drainage as I was expecting. Slept from early evening to the next day. Stayed in bed most of the next day, napping, etc. But felt less sore.

Woke up Monday morning, what a difference a day makes! I'm walking like I did a really hard workout. Still sore, but at work! Haven't really checked out the results. I don't want to have any unnecessary anxiety right now :) BUT, i did put a pair of SMALL leggings on in place of the compression suit and they went on pretty smoothly!! And, if memory serves, I couldn't really even get them on last time I checked!
