Thunder Thighs No More - Little Rock, AR

Thank you for the sweet compliment! Looking back through pictures, I definitely remember still having some swelling at one month post op compared to three months post op. My legs were a little lumpy at one month post op.

Thank you very much! any advice on improving your post op results?

I would recommend sleeping with your legs elevated on pillows and being diligent about wearing the compression/torture device! Nutrition is also very important. Trying to eat healthy to maintain the new shape is hard but necessary! I need to take my own advice on that one :)

Just looked at your results, and they are great! My inner thighs definitely felt like rocks. I remember feeling like my skin was going to rip open when I tried to bend over. That tightness lasted longer than any place else. I want to say my inner thighs were pretty hard for close to 1.5-2 months.

Hey Amy! So sorry for the late response, but the answer is yes! My legs were still relatively "hard" at the 3 month mark compared with now. Now they just feel like normal legs :) Thank you for the kind words! I hope things are going well with you!

Thank you so much! I had asked for both, because I had looked at before and after pictures from my surgeon and liked the results from inner and outer together. I will definitely say that I don't have as much of an hourglass shape now since I did both, but that wasn't a big concern of mine. Are you doing both inner and outer or just one? Can't wait to see your results! Oh, and I'm 5'5" :)

My butt is a little smaller, which I don't particularly like! I also haven't been hitting the squat rack like I need to though ;) I would definitely say go with your gut! What does your surgeon think about doing both?

He said we don't have to do the outside

It was a " he could, he couldn't " kinda attitude. Almost like it wouldn't make a difference

Did you see my pics ? What do you think since u have been through this?

Just depends on what you are ultimately wanting. If you are wanting to keep the hourglass shape then I would say not to do outer or maybe just not very much. Your waist is itty bitty, and I think the curves on your outer thighs definitely compliment that. You will have a good figure either way! You already do!

Okay thank you! My gut is saying just do the inner so they don't rub ! I figure that's the best way to go, since I have a small frame as you do as well.

It's not the most glamorous experience I've ever had, but it wasn't absolutely miserable...ok, that's a lie. The first three days were pretty miserable for me. It's not necessarily pain but more like an extremely uncomfortable stiffness and heaviness in the legs. I only got lightheaded once, and it was most likely because I went back to work too soon. I'm on my feet all day at work, so it was probably too much too soon. And don't be alarmed by the drainage! It only lasts for a few days, and you want it all out!

I definitely think it was worth it and am so thankful I had it done!

Thank you!! And again u look great !

Hey there! I had my surgery on a Thursday and went back to work the following Wednesday I believe. My ankles were a swollen mess, because I never get to sit down at work. As soon as I would get home I would elevate my legs, and I slept with a fluffy pillow under my knees. To be honest, you'll just be swollen for a little bit no matter what. My swelling stopped around 2.5-3 weeks. Thanks for the kind words! Happy healing! :)

Thanks for the sweet compliment! I had relatively muscular thighs throughout college, but that was always the one spot I couldn't seem to shrink down no matter how lean I was anywhere else. I would say that the past couple of years before my surgery my thighs had made the transition to more "fatty" than "muscular." I was worried that this might cause me to have loose skin afterwards, but luckily it didn't! As far as where gained weight goes following surgery, I'm honestly not too sure. I've read in some places stating that the weight will still redistribute proportionately and other sources stating that the weight will go to areas other than the surgery site. I'm just trying my best to avoid the weight gain altogether lol, although it will be hard with holidays coming up!

Can you send or post a recent photo? I am still debating if I should do it because I really am terrified of gaining weight in other places or the fact that I'm petite I don't want to look like a child if fat is taken from my thighs if you know what I mean? Anyway do you have a thigh gap? Did the doc suck fat from the inner upper thigh or just by your knees? Thank u!!!!

Thank you so much! You have made my day! :) Have an awesome weekend!
