Medial Thigh Lift with Rear Lipo - Plymouth, MN

This will be my second round of plastic surgery. I saw Dr. Fasching in January for lipo on my inner and outer thighs, knees, stomach and flanks. All the areas turned out fabulous except for my inner thighs. I had asked ALL the PS I interviewed about needing a thigh lift from the get go, and they ALL thought my skin would tighten up nicely. Well... that really didn't happen. I also think he was a little too conservative with the amount of fat he took off in the pockets way up on my medial thighs. The skin there has always been really crepe-y and I wish he would've just done the thigh lift to start with.

On the plus side, this round is deeply discounted since I'm just paying for the anesthesia and about 1/2 the thigh lift cost. I'm still kinda pissed that I have to spend another almost $5000 for this on top of the $7000 I already paid, but I feel like if I don't get this done, then the first surgery was for naught as I didn't get my dream of sexy non-rubbing together thighs.

The next 3 weeks are going to fly by! I have my pre surgical appt with my doctor and my PS Wednesday, get to pay all that money, then it's the start of school for my kids, a quick weekend helping my husband up north, then my surgery! I'm having my brother take and pick me up and then my hubby will come up that night to help "wipe my butt" since the nurse at the office said I'd need someone to help with that?! Not sure why, I'm assuming it'll just be hard to sit down. But I guess I'll find out in a few short days!

I had a lot longer to prepare for my first surgery, but with working more and moving schedules around, this is when it worked the best. Too bad my parents are out of town that weekend, it would've been easier for them to take care of me and not like I care if my mom sees my nether regions. My brother on the other hand, I may scar him for life.

I really need help knowing what to expect- I'm planning to get a female urinal, I already have chair height toilets, and am taking off 3 weeks from work. (the last weekend I have CE so I'll be sitting, but hopefully it will be ok by then). I'll have to take the kids to school/daycare after 3 days, so hopefully I can drive by then and just have them jump out and get inside. My PS said I have to not wear undies for awhile and I'll want to lie around with my legs frogged out to air it out. Not sure if I'll need a drain or not or if I'll be wearing another compression garment since I'm getting more lipo done. I hope he takes more off my inner thighs while he's in there since there's still too much fat in my opinion. I'll post more next week once I have my final consultation.

Here's my before pics . If you want to see some more pictures you can check out my liposuction review that I did before. There's so many of them I didn't want to repost all of them. These are my most recent pictures as a about 1 month ago

So I had my pre-surgical appointment 1 week ago, and it sounds like everything will be pretty straight forward. I may or may not have a drain depending on how things go. He will be taking more fat off of my thighs as well.
I'm supposed to come back the next day for a recheck and then a week later. Doesn't sound like I'll be having a compression garments but I will be bringing one up just in case.
He kind of rushed through the whole process but I was an hour early and I think he snuck me in a little early. He made it sound like it would be ok for me to drive home a couple days later as long as it wasn't too long of a drive, I flex and extend my feet quite a bit to prevent blood clots, and take a lot of breaks. I guess we'll find out shortly!
He didn't seem too worried about me over doing it with physical activity. He made it sound like I would know when I can and cannot do things. I'm still planning on taking it slow and getting back to exercise probably not for at least a month after surgery.
The next few days are going to fly by!
