Great legs Hun I would love mine doing next year
Thank you
Lovely result! How do ur scars look?
I will take a picture in next few days and show you
Yesterday it was 4 weeks out for me. Swelling much reduced, and most of the bruising is gone. I lost about 2 inches on each leg (saddle bags gone!), and sagging skin is mostly gone. I say mostly because as swelling goes down, some skin will invariably sag. Incisions still hurt, but healing well. And yesterday I went out for my first run/walk! It felt amazing, even though the incision area itched like crazy!
Good to here that TerriV!!
Your looking good girl! You should update your picture. I hope your happy with your results. I had some issues with stitches and also got a huge hematoma ...it suck. But feeling pretty good. Hope you do too!!

It's about 6 days since your last update. Is the recovery going well?
Doing really good 2 1/2 out and glad the first month is over now with all the swelling gone doing a lot better . it is amazing the difference in my legs I will post new pictures
Great to hear you're doing so well! If and when you are up to it, can you place new foto's of how your legs look right now? I'm very curios!
Hi there - I just had mine; I'm a week out, and only notice a small difference: about an inch lost in circumference. Of course, I'm still pretty swollen, hard to sit in a chair, etc. I had the scars from groin to 3/4 down my legs. Wondering if it was worth it. Terri
Hang in there TerriV63! We all say that about every surgery when we are first done. My pictures go up tomorrow and my surgery is next Tuesday ! So I'll be right there with you girlfriend!
Thanks Beach Girl! Seeing the doctor tomorrow for my1-week post-op. This is my first surgery and I can't imagine going through it again so I hope everything is going well and results will be worth it. Good luck on yours!
Thanks Terri! Keep us posted ; )
How is your outcome? Can you tell me how long your legs were swollen? I had my thigh lift with lipo done 11 days ago and I fear I'm not seeing much of a change.
Hi there I'm 2 1/2 months and it took about 6 weeks for all of the swelling to subside. they say it can take up to 2 months for the swelling and up to 6 months for all the results for the lipo.. I was like you couldn't see much of a result so you get frustrated for all the pain you go thru but it was all worth iy now
Thanks that makes me feel better!
I go in Tuesday December 17 for my thigh lift at the Avalon Clinic. Really glad you are happy with your results and are doing well!!
they are great there they have done 5 of my surgeries and this was the last one.. You will have to keep us posted on how you are doing :)
I sure hope everything goes well for you!!! Good luck! Keep us updated! We love sharing stories!!
I am having my upper back and arms done in February and my breast lift after that. I'm too excited!
Thanks ladies I will definitely keep u all updated. Pre-op is Friday the 13th lol Super excited!
Amazloum I have had those surgeries and the arm one is challenging lol Be careful not to overdue it!
Wow your legs look Great!! Are you happy with them?
Yep.. still have afew more months for the full results but so far worth the money
So far so good. I'm a little sad right now because I just found an infection...
that's awesome I thought about having my arms done too but My body is tired so maybe in a year or two have had 5 in the last 2 years so I need to rest my body and see how it goes :)
Oh Amanda sorry to here that. Has your PS seen it?
Yeah definitely rest up. My arms were challenging because we obviously use them for everything... Dr. Kenavan had to redo them cuz he didn't pull them tight enough. My scars are pretty bad too. : ( But I would still do it again lol
No. I have to call her in the morning. :(
No. I have to call her in the morning. :(
I'm sure it's nothing to worry to much about ... Lil antibiotic and she'll fix ya right up : )

Everything went well, I have a lot of swelling today which they said was normal and bruising 1 1/2 litre of lipo and 260 grams of tissue on l leg and 320 on the right leg. the worst thing out of all this is the going to the bathroom tried the toilet seat riser but it is to tall I have a 3 inch one so cant use it :(

6days out today. I see the Dr. Monday morning ,everything seems to be going ok.. No drainage since Saturday which is good a lot of bruising and swelling which is normal But I have to be honest I had an inverted tummy tuck and the pain in my legs when you have to go to the bathroom is worse then that.. I believe them now it is the worst.
Yes the maintenance of it all is crazy. I had some kind of thing you hold between your legs to urine in and also I ordered the raised toilet seat off of amazon which was a big help.
I bought a raised toilet too and a extended tool to pick stuf off of the floor if you drop it. which seems to be the only time you drop it
