Medial Thigh Lift w/revision lipo from 360

I am currently Day 4 post op. Just left my surgeon’s office for my first post op visit since my most recent surgery. He took off my compression garment and told me to put it back on when I feel ready. I am going to wait a few days until the incisions close more - getting the garment on and off is really difficult. He was able to remove 8 ponds during surgery. Included in that was some revision lipo from my 360 (2 years post op). You can see in the “before” pictures the areas circled that had some left over fluid. I am so so thrilled and excited but very immobile right now. Trying to lower my dose of pain medications off of the narcotics and stick mainly to Tylenol and Advil.

Feeling more mobile today. I am able to get myself up from SOME seated positions. I am also able to very slowly get up the stairs with some help from the banister and side shuffling lol I have finally gone to the washroom now (twice), and with the help of a natural laxative I have been taking daily, a litre of pear juice and lots of fruit, it wasn’t nearly as bad as it was for my 360. I am now totally weaned off of my narcotics and taking maximum doses of Tylenol and Advil instead. I am still taking the laxative daily and I’m working to finish up my antibiotic. I still have not put my compression garment on. I am off of work for another 3 weeks (which I will need). My legs are still very very swollen and bruised. I am sleeping exclusively on my back still. Very sore and still comfortable to do most things. I’ve had one shower since surgery and it wiped me out completely. I napped for almost 2 hours after. My best advice is to not underestimate the power of rest and how tired you will be. Drink lots of fluids and don’t over do it. I am so bored at this point and want to get up and do chores but I’m resisting.

Woke up to a lot more swelling gone! ????
