Some side by sides

The first 3 pics are after my first round of lipo and today. The last 2 are before any surgery and today. You can really see the difference in my inner thighs and butt. Makes me feel really good looking at these. I feel like side by sides are the best way to objectively tell if there's improvements.

I've been really interested in a medial thigh lift. I just wanted the incision in my groin so now I know what it is called. It looks really good. I'm also happy to know the pain wasn't too bad. It is in a sensitive area. So in one month you were able to do normal walking around bending over etc? Anything you found difficult?

It got better each day. I could bend over after about a week, but I had to do it straight legged, or had to squat down to pick up stuff. I think everyone is different on how tight it gets. I didn't sit to pee for about a week at least. When I sat to poop I made sure I leaned back more. It hurt the most just sitting normal. If I could recline some, then I was fine but sitting really hurt my butt incision. If you have a desk job, I'd take off at least 2 weeks unless you have a really comfy chair :) Also, slow return to walking, dont do too much too fast. Listen when your legs start to hurt .

Everything is still going pretty well. Most my swelling is gone I think, but when I tried to work without my garment last week,I swelled up quite a bit. I swell up about 1/2-1" by night time the days I work and are on my feet all day. So I've been wearing my garment still pretty much 24/7 still. I figure it's not hurting and may help, so why not?
I started lifting weights again last week. The first day I got a pulling sensation on my inner thighs while doing squats, so I greatly decreased the weight and was fine. 3 days later,I was able to do squats at my normal weight.
I tried running today. Besides being massively out of shape in the cardio department my legs felt great! Nice to run without my thighs rubbing together! Some giggling in the butt, but I remember that took like 4 months to stop doing that last time.
My skin has started to sag some, but not like before. My scars look great and I'm still using the Micropore tape 24/7. I plan to use it till I run out. My scar does look really good already. I don't think I needed the tape, but I'll use it.
All in all, pretty much back to normal! I was checking myself out last night and was like "I'm hot!". It's probably one of the first times I've said that to myself in forever! My hubby of course said I always look like that. I just don't listen :-). I'm still the same weight and measurements, but I haven't been trying real hard to lose extra. I'd like 5 more pounds off, but if this is my biggest, I'd be ecstatic! I love being a size 10, (I'm 5' 8.5") haven't been since I was 10 years old! I can fit into medium panties, and I actually like my butt now! As long as my thighs don't droop much more, I'll be a very happy camper!

Hi You do look hot!!
I saw a big difference in yr inner thigh. You may look better in person than in the pics. Cuz that's the case most of time.
For the thigh, do you feel any limitations to stretch out after surgery?
Do you feel that back of thigh skin also got lifted, or smooth out than before?

Thank you! Ha,ha!
Not much change on the back thigh. I just recently (last week) was able to stretch again. But every day since surgery I've been able to do more and more.

OMG, I was shocked when I saw your incision - so nice, so thin!!!!. You are so lucky & your doctor is such a gifted surgeon.
I hope I could get the similar results. I have booked my surgery date, otherwise I'm going to your doctor.
General speaking, I'm not worried about groin incision too much, because it can be hide. Of course, the thinner, the better.
I will have a incision on the bottom of my butt, in butt crease. The bottom of my butt have some loose skin, kind of drooping look, Dr suggested to cut some loose skin & make incision on buttock crease. I'm terrified that I will get a big scar across my butt. I was dreaming about it & woke up in the middle of night with sweat. Lol. Oh my, hope my Dr has magic hand to make the scar as thin as possible.
Anyway, glad you are doing well, you look great.
If you can post a pics on how the back incision look like now in 4 weeks, that will be super!!!

I am having a thigh lift in 5 weeks time. How was the pain after? Was it bad?x
The pain was very minimal. Just tightness is all. I only did 24hrs of oxycodone then changed to ibuprofen.
