Honestly...I can not see ANY distinction!! I don't think you need the touch up. Of course, it is about what you see in the mirror every day, and how it makes you feel because that affects every other part of your life. Good luck, but yeah, I think you look fab!!

8 July- I'm about 4 months post Sx now. I do have asymmetry of the liposuction, however, I don't think it is overly noticable on the outer thighs. The inner thighs however have made me self conscious in shorts. I'm not sure anyone else would notice, and my husband says if they do, they have no business looking that close to that area of my body anyways. My PS said it will change more as time progresses but that I may need a little touch up there. This works for me because I'd like to get him to do a little work on my back thighs as well. Perhaps ask him about that cellulaze procedure.

I owe everyone more recent pics, but my camera is MIA. When I find it or get another one, I will definitely post new pics

Hello!! you look great! Can't really notice the asymmetry on the inner legs. How are you feeling now? I'm a little nervous because I'm getting inner & outer legs as well as knees, abdomen and flanks

did you take arnica before surgery? You don't seem to have bruised much!!!

I bruised so much with my BA I started arnica even though I'm still one month away from surgery.

also, does it hurt a lot? Did you get swollen? I'm scared because I got a hematoma with my BA...

6 weeks PO- OK confession time. I have gained 6 pounds since my sx. I think there are several things that played a role: I stopped nursing, I went on a vacation, AND I had this sx and wasn't exercising. I'm extremely self conscious about the weight gain especially around the stomach. True to form, the fat now accumulates in my waist rather than my thighs. However, I do notice more uneveness in my inner thighs which I contribute to the added weight gain. I don't think it is significant enough to warrant a revision, but rather loose the weight and finish out the next 4.5 weeks to see the final results. I finally took pictures to share. The bruising was mostly gone by 4 weeks and it was about that time I started exercising again. I still wear a garment, just a mid thigh one from Walmart. Happy healing everyone

I just had lipo on my inner thighs, mons and around the umbilical; it's been 11days. I am still in bed. I don't feel any pain in my stomach, my mons are a little sensitive, but the pain is in my inner thighs. 

The black and blue is intense although it's braking up. The back of my thighs are really black. Everything is very tight. My stomach is great and my mons,  although still a little swollen looks almost normal. 

I had a smooth tuck (tummy tuck w/o the muscles being tightened).  The mons gets very swollen, it's  normal. I just figured while the Doc was in there, he could fix it. And he did. Dr. Schulman is the only Dr. that does the Smooth Tuck. It's quick recovery, and for people who are not candidates for a tummy tuck. 

Hard to believe you were back to work in just days. But then I'm much older than you. My stomach is so flat, that I had to get my legs done. Dr. Schulman sculpted me and I look great for a 60+. But my thighs were too large for the rest of me. My pants were tight around the thighs while they were falling down around my waist. I had pants on the ground. Hahaha!

Dr. M. Schulman is great. He is in NYC. You can check him out at this web sight. Amazing credential, and sweet. 

Good luck to all of you. Make sure you go to a Board  certified Plastic Surgeon.
