  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

My inner thighs are ugly from lipo. Pretty bummed. Upper thighs and lower abdominal are still numb. Bottom swelling seems non-existent.

1 month post op

Today is my 6th day back to work. I've been sitting on a stool and letting my bottom hang off the back. Not comfortable, but my legs don't fall asleep a fast they do on the cushion. After sitting for a while the fluid in my upper thighs get harder and tight. I had my 3rd massage last week, and it's helping. I'm using a size small in one of my waist clinchers, and when it's on my right side goes in much further and get sore quicker. I will post a pic the next time I put it on. Also I've noticed my left inner thigh seems to have had more fat taken, as it curves in. Will post pic.

I've seen him a total of 4 times, & he was not a man of many words. All 4 visits weren't even a total of 15 minutes. The first time was at pre op, he came in took some pics and grabbed the fat on my belly, told me I was a good candidate and that my stomach would be flat. The second time was right before surgery, he marked my body. Third time the morning after surgery to release me. Fourth time was for the first post op, he came in and asked me how I was doing. I told him that I liked how my bottom was looking, but that the way my stomach was looking was freaking me out. So he says to me, "well the surgery wasn't for your stomach." Not very professional in my opinion.
