thigh lift update

I posted before and after photos tonight.  I am pleased with the difference.  I know that my legs will never be "small", but they really look more in proportion to me.  My surgeon said that they couldn't take off more due to the amount of muscle mass in my legs.  If they had cut more skin, they wouldn't have been able to close the wound.  My legs look and feel tight - and there is a nice size gap between my legs!

Also, I am not as sore as I would have thought, and I'm recovering well.  Now that the compression wraps are off and I'm just in a garment I have lots more movement and flexibility in my legs.  Going up and down the stairs was totally doable, but getting on the bed, which is pretty high, was harder.

Oh, you do have to be on my friends list to view the photos.

I can't believe how great you look so soon after surgery!

An amazing difference already, and once the swelling goes down it will be awesome! Congrats!

Ouch - I can't believe how great your doing so soon after!

Huge difference!

I'm glad you are not as sore as you thought and that your recovery is going well.  Your results already look amazing, and I bet they will be fab-u-lous when the swelling goes down.  I'm amazed you were able to go up and down the stairs - that's fantastic. 

Keep us posted on how you are doing, and we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers!

It's amazing how great you look at such an early date. Once swelling goes down, you'll be a skinny lil thing!
