Lower Body Lift I've Been Dreaming of for Years! - Newport Beach, CA

I was in CA for work, so I checked back in with Dr. Agha. He will do a scar revision for free since my scars widened at my hips (I'll post a pic later). He also wants to do my thighs (vertical and medial thigh lift), but I need more time to forget how much surgery sucked the first time and I'm broke lol. He said he can only fix my banana rolls if he did a spiral thigh lift and combining that with a vertical Causes complications, so I'll have to deal with those. Im going to change the procedure to "worth it" again because it really was a huge transformation, just hard on a person with anxiety.

I think I'm at the 10 week mark now. Still have tightness in lower belly area and some instances of deep aching and occasional sharp pains. I think it's my nerves waking up. As you can see in my posted pics, I'm healing well overall. My dr took too much fat off during lipo of the back of my legs so now I have significant "banana rolls" under my butt, but I'm trying not to be too upset over it. I think he thought I was guaranteed to come back for a thigh lift and he'd fix it then, but I don't think I can do this again. Never say never, I guess. There are a couple areas of my scar that are pretty large that I don't love either (by my hip bones) but I'm hoping once the scars mature and turn white it won't bug me.
I bought a cute shorter skirt and crop top for an Xmas party that I rocked until 11 when I was too tired to stand anymore lol. I guess my stamina isn't fully there quite yet.
Happy holidays to all!

So I pretty much feel back to normal in terms of energy. My swelling has decreased, but I still am swelled up at my incision line down by my pubic area by the end of the day. You can see a little bulge in my pics. My incision does have a couple small spots that had a tiny opening, but they have scabed over and I'm just waiting for them to heal. This morning I noticed a small spot on my incision line up front that looks like a pimple. I'm assuming I'm spitting a stitch and that area will open soon.

I checked in with my doctor and he said I can start scar therapy. He recommended the scar sheets you put on and keep on until they fall off and then you put on a new sheet. He said I still need to wear my compression tights and binder for 6 more weeks :(
I wrote back and asked if I could do Spanx instead and haven't heard back yet.

I have found 3 stitches I need removed but no plastic surgeons by me will take them out since I'm not their patient. Hope my regular Dr will!!
