eye lid question and about thighs and sex

 how long before you know what your results are? I still have slight swelling but one eye looks different from the other. I am hoping they will match. Its day six so there is still some bruising. Has anyone needed a revision?

Also on the thighs, at the very top of my leg it looks like a gathering stitch which is not going to attractive. I am just now brave enough to look close.

How long did you wait to have sex? I was told to wait three weeks but that seems like a long time.

After my MTL I waited 3 weeks before sex. Actually couldn't imagine it before that beause of the pain. Also where the incisions met wasn't completely closed. Still wasn't @ 3 weeks but much better than the weeks before.

I will be having a revision to my lower eyelids in February.  I developed some scar tissue that is pulling down the lids.  But it will be several weeks before you get a good sense of your results. 

Oh, my word,  we can have sex after plastics, my word, who would have thunk it?

I had my upper lids done, not the lowers.  I believe the lower tends to bruise more than the uppers alone.  Mine were back to normal within a week and now..and wished I'd done it years ago.

on my inner thighs I have a little spot on both sides that's not completely even but no one is ever gonna see it but me.

As for the sex part.. you don't want an answer from me.  I wasn't with anyone at the time...but with thighs done, I'd probably have waited quite a while.

No clue on the eyes - but for the thighs - I had the long incision on the thighs and in the groin w/ my LBL. I had sex at 3 weeks - but until 3 or 4 months it was tricky - no missionary style because that hurt like &*^*&^%. Spooning or me on top or even doggie was the only ways we could do it for awhile. When I had my thigh revision and they opened me back up half way down the thigh and the groin again - same experiance - it was 2 weeks that time but same positions (we knew what worked then!).  NOTE: Even at 6 months post op from LBL, missionary still put pressure on the incisions and like some other people on the board has mentioned - some of the disolveable stitches don't always do their thing and can stick around for a LONG time - I know I've got areas where that's the case still.

 Thanks for the responses. I guess I will wait a while longer. Not that I was eager right now.

I have had my eyes revised twice. They can't get rid of all the bagginess, unfortunately and now my vision's pretty bad so I am not messing with it anymore.

I had like a dog ear up near my groin area that did not lookf good looked like a giant pimple but it went away.
 I juat had my eyes done and we waited 3 weeks for sex cause my PS said that we no sex because of my eye surgery not the arms he said during sex your eye pressure builds up so we waited 3 weeks .
I was scared to look close @ my thighs at first. it takes weeks for your eyes to heal one may be more swollen then the other. thats what I don't like about plastics the waiting
