Couple of pics.

WORTH IT
I gave the knee and upper thigh revised, more tissue removed. I'm still swollen, but happy with the touch up.

Sorry, typo...HAD (gave....drugs).
Your thighs are looking good! I hope mine come out nice and thin like yours! Keep on resting!
Thank you! And yours will be better!
Your legs look fabulous!
Thank you!
You look amazing. How are the vertical scars doing? How tall are you?
I'm planning on the vertical thigh lift & am worried about my scars. My doctor said these scars usually heal well as there is no tension, but I'm still concerned. How did your scars turn out? Can you post some pictures of how the scars are healing?
If you are Caucasian, your scars will fade nicely. Because I'm African American my scars are darker brown than my flesh color. Yoy can use scar treatment (silicone strips or gel) as soon as your wounds heal. You also have to factor how much you want the skin removed.

You will be fine!
I'm healing great, went to the docs today 2wk check up, almost completely closed, but I still have to wear my compression pant :-( tight spandex. I'm 5'8".
I just got my thighlift about 7 weeks ago. I had 2 spots that opened up & I'll probably get some scarring on that area. But I just got some dermablend & it's helped hide the scars that are well healed. The dermablend doesn't hide it 100%, but if you don't know that there are scars there, can't even tell. I'm middle eastern , so I'm hoping that the scars will fade.
You are lighter skinned and you will be amazing! I'm so excited for you! I just had a 2nd touch up a week ago, didn't blog on it because I'm over myself and my journey. They took off another 1lbs of skin from the back side of my huge thighs...and I'm am so happy. I'm healing beautifully, feeling great and am done with my legs. Boon reduction and lift next...next year! Keep me posted on your progress, nothing but positivity sent your way from me!
you look so stunningly beautiful ! I read our stories and realize what we do to make our personal souls happy. I am 2 weeks and 2 days post op from a TT. it’s been one hell of a recovery! I thought I was hard core but I feel like I’ve been a baby recovering from this and was so disappointed at the look of my body the week after. but now I’m digging my outcome and I still feel like poop! but I will say every day is better and my waist is wicked skinny and I don’t have back fat! can’t wait to wear something short waisted to sow off my flat and muscular tummy! you look so awesome. and u seriously recovered like a rock star!! best wishes on your future treatments!

Successful Surgery

Everything went great this morning, came home at 1pm. Pain is minimal, no drains needed, feeling great. I won't see what it all looks like until Friday, but can see the difference even wrapped up.

My revision was so much better than my original surgery, I'm healing great, no issues at all, and going back to work next week!

Congratulations on your surgery, you will be so happy when it's done. Will be sending positivity your way!
