So far so good, I still swell if I workout too much or too hard. There is the random tenderness here and there, but on a scale of 1-10 it's about a 1.5. I am very happy I did this procedure overall. It could be my imagination, but I feel like my stomach is fatter now during my cycle ( it retains more water ) but I think it's because m thighs are slimmer in comparison and before the water weight would go there. Since there isn't much fat now maybe it goes where it can. Also, I am posting this during my cycle so overall feel gross. Ha ! I weigh the same and clothes fit the same, just feel a little puffy today. Not the best day to post l, but by request decided to post an update.
Walking feels amazing not to have the rubbing and I am happy the surgeon went conservative. I do orange theory workouts so squatting probably keeps my thighs thick, but I'm toned and happy with their size.

You look fantastic and very even/smooth! Is it that way in person too, what about when you "flex"? We have a really similar leg shape so I really appreciate your review. Question, for the inner thigh lipo, how far down the inner thigh does/did he go?
Aww thank you! He is an amazing surgeon. A perfectionist, really! My legs are smooth even if I was to flex and I am very happy with the contour. I am an athletic body type and petite so he matched my legs to my body as opposed to other surgeons who just suck the fat and don't take into account the entire body. He told me he had to go down to the middle thigh in order for it to look smooth the day of surgery. I would say 5 inches above the knee, all the way up to the top.
Amazing thanks for the extra info! I'm going to have a look at him - and congrats on the results :)
Great results!!! I’m sure you feel amazing too!!! :)
Thanks so much! You still look great even though you feel puffy :)
did you have any scar tissue that you needed to massage out?
none!
I met Dr B he was really cool. how far out are you now? any changes? update update update
did you show him my picture? are of looking for conservative results Like Mine? I will update with a pic soon. I’m one year out and legs are perfect.
no I didn't show him your pic. I went to Dr Bednar for fat transfer to breasts. he took 200cc from each inner thigh plus 820cc total from flanks and backs of thighs. I am coming up on the weeks. I have a thigh gap. I think it will get better in the next 4-12 weeks.
dr bednar? I would love to see how it turned out !
I may post a review. not sure if I will. :)
so you didn’t go to my doctor dr. behmand ?
I went to him for a consultation. I did mention you but I couldn't find your review at the time.
oh ok so you decided to go with another doctor, sorry was confused !
yeah, it's ok. I'm thinking I'll do a three month or one year review.
you will notice a huge difference at 6-8 weeks
aw thank you! I'm super excited
Would love to see an update since you're 1.5 years out. Had anything changed with time?

5 months !

I'm loving my results, pain is gone with the occasional tender spots ( usually after working out). I am very happy I did this surgery! I walk on clouds now as my thighs do not rub and the only difference from taking the garment off to going back to normal life is that my thigh muscles shrunk during the post op phase so I appeared thinner then. Now my thighs are not as skinny due to the muscle, but the contour is the reason I did this surgery! Therefore, I am happy as can be. My goal wasn't stick straight legs but more so less rubbing, which Dr. Behmand achieved!

Sorry 4 months! ha
OMGoodness!!! I've been following your journey and your results are amazing. thabks for posting this recent picture. It's gorgeous!
Thank you !
Love the results! Looking good girlie!
You make me less nervous about going conservative with lipo. Like you I have more muscular legs but I have some upper inner thigh fat that doesn't budge!
It is worth it - but you have to choose the right doctor wisely. Less is truly more - and frankly you don't want to be 80 years old with saggy thighs, that was my thought process anyhow. I feel he matched my body and didn't give me a crazy large thigh gap, but a more natural one instead.
I'm on the same page as you! How are your lipo incisions? Healing well?
Invisible ! If you have fair skin they will be red then purple and then u just see a slight 5 mm slit that look like a wrinkle.
I hope this doesn't sound weird, but any chance you could do an update photo where your legs aren't covered like how you did your before and afters with your feet standing together? Your legs before look like mine and would love to show my surgeon at the consult that this is how conservative I want the inner thighs to be done. Thanks!
Sure I'll do it this weekend
Thank you so much!! :) I really appreciate it!
OH, also, how long did it take you to resume your normal pre-op workout? And again an early thank you for taking photos!
Hi sorry I did a major leg workout and swollen not the best time to take a photo, I resumed exactly at 6 weeks and by 7 weeks I was running but I was sore. However, your I'll get very swollen for 6 months ( I still swell after a serious workout). One thing to remember is fat and muscle. The doctor sucked the fat out and then my muscles shrunk from not being used, as soon as you use them - the contour will change and not appear as thin. Yet, the fat did not come back, it just shows how much muscle I have now.
Thank you for clarifying. I just finished a leg workout too! My consult is in Aug so take your time with updating with photos :)

You look amazing hun! Glad all your swelling has almost gone. xx
Thank you!!
Thank you soooooo much for your very thorough account. We have similar body types and this very helpful. I'm glad you're so happy with your results.
Your welcome ! I think this is a great community and I thanked the other women too because this is a very scary and anxiety provoking journey. Are you getting the same surgery as me?
He did a great job. What was your weight before surgery? 500cc seems like a good amount.
I was 140 lbs, he literally is the best! Thank you!
Your legs look very good. I can see you Do not have much fat on you, it's all muscle mass. I had vaser 1 year ago.
thank you! how did yours turn out?
Amazing results. I see some results but not as much as yours. Have you started any type of exercising? My legs are still weak and swell. He did my thighs all the way around. Your results are great!
Thank you! I am so happy with my results I cannot even describe to you! No exercising at all except going to the mall or a light stroll. I have listened to the doctor and I have worn this garment ( still wearing it until wed) 24/7 round the clock --- like seriously. I never have taken it off unless to shower or wash and then on top of that I wore TIGHT leggings to make it even tighter after the garment became loose. I suggest that, but ask your doctor! I'd like to see your pics do you have any posted? How long has it been? Don't listen to these others saying you can exercise, don't exercise for 6 weeks I really believe in that has made my results the way they are because I rested and didn't push myself.
How about stretching? I don't know if you still do splits and stuff, being a former gymnast and all.
I could hardly open my legs even almost 5 weeks out, if you know what I mean... ha. Coming up on 6 weeks now it's MUCH better, but still tender and areas of hardness/soreness. I haven't pushed myself literally at all to do any stretching except maybe to touch my toes or to twist my back. I can still do the splits even at my age, but after 6 weeks of no activity I am sure I will have to take it easy gaining flexibility back. The inner thighs are very sensitive so even the slightest bit of soreness I took that as a single to just take it easy, gotta listen to your body everyone is different.
