Hi! I am 4 weeks post thigh lift via groin & buttocks. Some Liposuction was also done on my legs. Still have some discomfort in my legs but my biggest problem is tightness & some numbness that happens after I sit for a little while. My legs feel super tight!!! Inner thigh area and behind legs (under buttocks) It goes away after I walk or move around.
Im 5 weeks post-op first thigh medial thigh lift and my surgeon did placed the groin incisions too low ( not in the crease at all) and now my labia are being pulled open. How soon can I get this revised? And what will the revision entail?
Had a thigh lift 4 weeks ago. The stitched area is around the leg line of the panty. I have had no pain till now. Today my stitch area is hurting some. On scale 1-10 irritation is 4. Is this normal? Also, I have been wearing compression garment since surgery.
After putting some pressure On It noticed my compression at drain site was wet took compression off to look at lump it was smaller so I put firmer pressure on it with a towel and felt it pop the drain bulb instantly filled up this has happened a few times since putting pressure on it more fluid releases. If I leave it alone will it eventually absorb or be pulled out by the drain? The pocket as I call it seems to keep filling Some times when I put pressure I get some bloody looking fluid too.
I had a thigh lift approx 5 weeks ago and a week later, I had wound dehiscence. Its got bigger despite continued care from my surgeon. It is being treated with inadine dressings changed daily. It is undermining in every direction despite other small areas which also opened, granulating and epithelialising. I feel like I make one step forward and 10 steps back. At this rate I feel its goijg to be open at Christmas! Why is it getting bigger? There is no infection. What am I doing wrong?
I had an extended medial thigh lift on March 20 (35 days ago) and of course I expected swelling but why is my left foot/ankle swelling at least 80% more than the right? I am spending at least ~15 hours a day with my legs elevated above my heart. A examination was made to see if it was a DVT, results came back negative. Doctor says my lympathic system is disturbed from the surgery, but he didn't offer any recovery suggestions. How long will this last and what can I do?
I'm post 4 week from a thigh lift. I sufferd a hematoma and wound opened up and i ended needing the wound cleaned out 3 weeks after the op. The thigh looks like its alot looser than the otherside. Also the way it's healing it looks like they're is going to be more skin than the otherside, also can see skin is looser above the knee.
I had a lateral thigh lift on June 17. Immediately following surgery BP dropped to 60/40 and the nurse noticed some blood clots through the drainage on my right thigh. My PS said that I had some internal bleeding and had to reopen the right thigh to stop the bleeding. The left thigh looks pretty good but the right thigh that had to be reopened doesn't look good at all. Should I begin to worry at this point or based on my pics they are healing as expected? Please Help!
