Julie, I am having the thigh lift with the incision like you had. Now that some time has passed are you happy with the results? It sounds like the incisions were a real pain, but how are they now? Do you still think the thighs were the most painful? How long before you were comfortable wearing pants? My surgery is just 9 days away now.

I hope you like your results more. Let me know how you do. It took me good 4 weeks to be able to wear pants. I had to basically stay in loose fitting pants like sweats for the first month. Now I can wear anything. When you go to the bathroom you bleed a lot due to the incision. That takes a couple weeks to heal before you will not be bleed. Let me know how you do. Mine was almost $9k. Hope you got a better deal.

Thanks Julie. I am going to talk to my doctor again about this. I don't really have any fat left on my thighs (my legs have always been the thinnest part of me) but I do want the skin to be nice and tight and I have quite a bit of saggy skin! For the expense and the difficult recovery I definately want to be happy with the results. I'd rather have the long scar and good results than the small groin incisions and not be happy. Thanks for your reply. Ill let you know how it all comes out. Becky

Hi There XX Begone, I don't have my after pictures yet. Do to the fact that he wasn't aggressive enough with the upper ab lippo I wouldn't recommend him. I need to go back in for a revision in 6 months already. He does great after care though.
