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.

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!

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.

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!

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 :)

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?
January 22, 2017
He did a great job. What was your weight before surgery? 500cc seems like a good amount.
January 23, 2017
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.
January 24, 2017
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!
January 24, 2017
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.
January 24, 2017
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.
