Thigh lift Nightmare

Been dealing with some swelling for some time on my left leg. The problematic leg, you know the one where I had major movement restriction. I thought it was due to venous insufficiency (diagnosed 2023) turns out it might be lymphedema causing this, according to the second vein doctor I’ve gone to. Sounds like lymph nodes were disrupted ? I’m so upset right now. I have to throw in more money for my health. This night mare never ends .

It’s been a while. My legs are better and combo sculptra/renuva made a major improvement as well as consistent strength training. Obv the time off from the surgery there was a lot of muscle loss I had to recover. Scar is still ugly , less red but no shorts. Especially since his incisions are not well hidden.

Anyways I had to post this for I found it hilarious. Dr Katzen was my surgeon and who recommended the theragun .I remember I had asked about the nerve site and didn’t comment on that concern. Years later, he posted a reply to my question from several years ago saying it’s a bad idea. Assuming he did some homework.

Just here reminding you what an awful surgeon he is.
I try not to take photos because when I do I fall into depression. I don’t think I will ever take lightly someone’s opinion of my result. Even when I don’t ask I get reminded of what a sh*t result this was. I went back to my neurologist and he restated his opinion and I’m like dude I didn’t ask. Anyways… he did confirm that my right left is more responsive than my left leg. He also said there is evidence of neuropathy to my left peroneal motor. Something like that I can’t recall the exact words. I had a emg done.
I will not proceed with Morpheus considering there is still obvious healing I need. The discoloration is vascular . Why is it so hard to move on? Doctors are too scared to work with me. The one doc I wanted to go to with renuva wants me to wait a little longer and even said he was horrified to work with what I have now. A dermatologist that was recommended initially said it’s better not to do anything that only me and my “partner “ will see it. I will die alone. He’s crazy if he thinks I’ve considered getting back to the dating scene. When he saw that I was not happy with that feedback then he proceeded with some “options”. But I think he only did so because he didn’t want me feel it was a waste of a visit and money. I don’t think he thinks he can help me sadly.
