39, 2 Kids, Super Fit and ALWAYS Heavy Thighs ... - Dallas tx

Esp love the comment about not needing to wear heels with shorts! :)

It's just not the 2-3 days you hear about.... The first week is rough. 2nd week isn't great but a little better. I'm 8 weeks out and my flanks still feel a little sore. Just be prepared to move a little slower than planned... Buy arnica and get post op massages. It's totally worth it- it's just a little bit of a recovery process. Message me any questions you have I hope I can help

Totally agree! Although I was back to work @ 2 weeks, light exercise until 3-4 weeks, then full workouts and 100% activity, I'm still recovering at 9 weeks. Still have burning soreness in flanks and the upper sides of my back/ribs. When I saw my Dr. at 6 weeks she said I was doing great, yet still swelling (expected). The fact that she wants to see me in a year is a great indication that this procedure takes TIME!

You got a fantastic result !!! Wish I had been as fortunate

Yes... Def week by week. And I agree I think the flanks are the slowest to heal. I'm 9 weeks out and they still feel pretty sore. Arnica does seem to help I use it AM and PM

Thx.... I mean, I work my ASS off in the gym and eating right. I waited 39 years to fix the spots genetics had working against me! I hope it all heals smoothly now !

I appreciate your attempt at criticizing constructively... But this site is for people who are seeking cosmetic surgery. COSMETIC. Meaning it's a site FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HAPPY WITH HOW THEY LOOK. So to troll people's reviews, which could very helpful to others, and criticize them or tell they have 'disorders'... Is completely inappropriate and a bit obnoxious. If you've 'been there' you'd know that no matter how in shape or healthy you are there are some things that procedures on this site can help a person with. A crooked nose. Stretched tummy after baby. Lots of things that aren't 'disorders'... Do us all a favor and worry about yourself instead of criticizing others which is the OPPOSITE of what this site is for. Ps ending your message with ' HUGS!' Just adds passive aggressive to your judgmental comments. This site is for reviews for COSMETIC SURGERY.... If you want to judge why people are getting these surgeries find somewhere else to complain.

You're right. I am sorry. If you can delete my above message please do so.

I think it sounds like you really were trying to give advice from a place of experience not judgement. You have to realize for whatever reason she could have always been in shape and for some reason we all have an area that we fixate on at some point and when you work so hard to try to manage and overcome an issue no matter how small it seems to others, it can come off as obsessive to others. It seems she has really worked hard her whole life to stay healthy and that to no means can she change what she feels doesn't feel right on her. It really is important to do things that make you feel better and we all certainly do deserve that. At any point it is hard to approach someone and not seem like there is judgement when they were doing something important for themselves. I just wanted to say I understand where you both are coming from and try to take the positive from this. You both handled it well and said your peace. This is a wonderful site and I truly appreciate anyone having the courage to photograph and document their journey in order to help others. Take care and thanks again!

That's just it. This site was so helpful as I've never had cosmetic surgery... I can't even stand IV's- and it helped me when considering this. When you're xs on top your whole life but the bottom is out of proportion due to genetics these procedure are a Godsend. Do to throw out the term 'disorder'... Even if you think your being helpful... Is reckless. I am so thankful this site exists. I NEVER would have had the courage to do this procedure and now 6 weeks out I couldn't be happier I did.

great job sls5516. I was where you were at over a year ago when I was getting up the courage to do cosmetic surgery! Congrats! You did it and you look great. I'm happy for you and applaud your efforts to be informed and knowledgeable!

Thanks tweaky787!! I was trying to be super objective there but to come on THIS site and use the word 'disorder' on someone's review?? Not ok. For Pete's sake.

It will be worth it- just let yourself be excited nervous :) have someone ready to help for at least a week and know it will be slow going at first but they have the technology so I say we should all let ourselves try it if makes is feel better :)

Thank you!!! The nerve of that guy who commented... It's MY decision. I didn't tel anyone either as they'd say I'm nuts... My thighs have always been bleh and 15 years of squats salads and cardio didn't touch it. I just wish I'd done it sooner :) though I hope I can get back on the scale in a few weeks it feels odd not watching that. Tempted to take a water pill to help?

Squats did make my thighs BIGGER. Weird?!? Yes, i'm gonna take a water pill next week.

Actually i took one when i just got discharged from the hospital (day 3). It helped.

Yes! Squats did that to me too. Ugh right? Ok I'm going to get awRer pull tomorrow? Any tips?

A water pill... Ugh it's late I can't type.

I'm gonna get my outer thighs done and breast implant removal next month. Lol. Nothing can stop women from getting what they want.

Have you ever had a revision? I'm happy at this point but in a year or something if it's not the way I want I'm curious....

Nope, but i've been thinking about getting a touch-up. BTW, i stopped wearing compression garment.

I'm almost 6 weeks now- will post pics this week. How is the recovery? I don't know what to think about touch ups... They say it changes over 6-12 months so I'm not sure when it will look 'most healed'. My flanks are still sore but only when touched or if I run. Thighs are healing nicely but still minor bruising that almost looks like shadows.

You got your flanks, inner & outer thighs done, didn't you? Well, I don't think you need to get touch ups. I got back to the gym, did some squats, sit-ups, running (at my 3 weeks post-op). My recovery was pretty fast since i got my inner thighs done only. I feel a little lumpy but my surgeon said that's totally normal. So never mind! Ughhhh!!! I wish i had gotten my outer thighs and flanks done along with my inner thighs lipo. The thought of getting through a general anesthesia, a recovery,...bothers me a little bit. Did you take water pill?

I took a couple water pills at 4 weeks. Totally helped. I have a little lumpiness too so hopefully that will go away with massage. The General anasthesia wasn't bad I just couldn't take any pain pills so the 3 sets of incisions though small got to me that first week. I'm super happy I did it. It looks so much better when I'm in a bikini and I'm even happier in my clothes... I had to go down a size in shorts and that NEVER happens:) my flanks still feel sore though apparently those take a loooong time to heal.

Hope your feeling ok! Just rest take pain meds and relax.... You got through it!
