13 week update from thigh lift

WORTH IT$5,000
The journey has been difficult. Healing is hard when you are impatient and want result quickly. But good things do come for those who wait.
My thigh muscles are still sore and feel like "Charlie horses" anyone else experience this? I blame it on my lupus flares, but its a continuous pain. I would love to hear your stories if you feel the muscles aches also..

I wouldn't describe as you did but my thighs still feel like rocks and I get very tired very quickly on my feet. The Dr. told me it could be 6mos before the swelling fully resolves. I also have sharp shooting pains from nerves reattaching. I'm 10wks post op and while physically my thighs look amazing I do not FEEL amazing. I'm sorry you aren't either.
I havent gone back to see my doc since i got my stitches taken out. Im 3 hours away and will try to see him next week. But your comment makes sense. I had lipo also and the whole nerve ending thing could be my issue. Thanks
Are you happy I can't believe you went back to work so soon you recovered amazing
Thank you.. yes, Im very happy. However, i would recommend if you have a thigh lift, please give youself time to heal.. i was not smart by going back to work ao soon.
Any pictures?
yes, i just took them down from my profile
Why if you don't mind me asking?
I received a really odd message from someone. it was a little creepy. i do have pictures and i love my results.
I was wondering how you were doing and if you are happy with your results. I just came across your post but I noticed you didn't have any before and after pictures. Do have any to share?
I am looking to have a medial thigh lift also and I am extremely nervous due to previous botched liposuction.
Hope this funds you well.
Hi Camb I'm sorry i didn't respond sooner. Have you had your surgery yet? i won't lie it was very painful.
I just had 5 skin surgeries.. tummy tuck, breast lift and aug, arm lift, thigh lift and butt lift... everything was a cake walk except for my thighs... ugh.. they were the WORST. Had I done thighs first I would’ve cancelled all others for sure. Abdominoplasty and breast lift/ augmentation was my easiest.

Well ladies, im recovering slowly but all in all i love my results. Dr. Taki does amazing work. Im back at work and i have to be honest it still hurts a little to sit down. I did see a little separation on my right him and now im a little concerned. I see Dr. Taki this friday.

To be honest with you ladies, i had breast augmentation and a tummy tuck and a thigh lift is by far the hardest to heal from. Take as much time off possible to heal. I went back to work to soon and regret it. Take the full 4 to 6 weeks if the doc tells you to. But most importatly, listen to your body and dont over do it. I will post pics soon.

I'm glad you are healing well! Ironically, I'm sitting in his office now waiting on my post-op appointment for my LBL. Did you get the thigh lift with the spiral component, which extends the incision underneath your bottom instead of using a vertical incision down the inner thigh? I am getting my thigh lift in December, and this is what he recommended, which is fine, but I'm curious about the recovery.
Hey girlie, I posted new pictures. I hope all is well on your end.
Hey! I was just thinking about you and wondering how you were! I saw your pictures and you are looking absolutely amazing! Now, I can't wait!!
Im loving it, except the muscle aches.. not sure what that is all about. maybe its a clue that i need to get my but to the gym.. ha ha.. i can't wait for your surgery to see you results. Dr. Taki is amazing!
Wow!!! Nice Ass ... I mean that in an Amazing way ....I truly can't believe the results. you look like a 20 year old... he is only 5000.00 for that ?? Do share. Congrats!!!!!

I'm glad you are feeling great! I'm looking forward to hearing more about how your recovery goes, and when you are up to going back to work.
Glad you are doing well! I hope you're like me. I'm at day 11 and I'm working out (all doctor approved exercises) cleaning the house, working full time and doing fine. FYI I have no one to assist me. I had help on days 1 and 2 and have been on my own since. Plus, I had a full tummy tuck and breat lift on Dec 23....7 weeks ago. Maybe it's a mind set?

For the first four days I did nothing but stay in bed with my legs up. I only got out of bed to go to the bathroom and I did that standing up. I had a mini frig with food and a cooler by my bed with drinks. When I went to the bathroom I'd stop at the mini frig for a snack.
Seriously, I was comical to watch I'm sure:-). Take care!
I went out to dinner with my daughter yesterday and did fine. I think the lipo hurts more than the stitches. I love my results so far and that over powers tbe pain. Mini frig.. now i didnt even think of that
Hooray! You are going to be very happy with your results!
Hello, you look amazing. I am going for a consultation of a medical thigh lift, what is the difference between the regular thigh lift and a medical thigh lift? If you know could you please explain it to me?
