Just curious
Hi Melissa,
I had a Lower Body Lift (modified) on Aug. 14. 2007. I say modified because they didn't realy lift much of my thighs, only the outer thighs a bit and not nearly enough lipo in my thighs. However, I will say that I am thrilled with the results and would recommend it to anyone. I had a total of 6 lbs of skin removed and 600cc's of fat lipo'd from my thighs. I went down 3 inches in my hips, 2 inches in my waist but only about 1/2 - 1" in each thigh. I am waiting on a date for the second round which will be a breast lift/augmentation and lipo of the outer thighs. I hope that will correct the "saddle bags" I now carry in my thighs. I hope to have surgery by the end of May.
Personally I felt the pain was not that bad - it hurt but not like I thought it would. The most difficult thing was the tightness I felt (which does go away, sadly). I couldn't stand up straight for almost two weeks but I went back to work full time 3 weeks from my surgery date. I tired very easily but did not need more time than that.
I wish you all the best! Hugs, Robin
