I just had the small thigh lift done (groin cut) along with an anchor TT and regular arm lift.  The thigh lift is easily the most uncomfortable.  You have to be careful when walking as well as sitting down and standing up.  I'm used to hopping right up out of a chair and did that a couple days without thinking - yyyeeeouch!  I'm almost 9 days out from it and walking is almost to the point of no discomfort.  The worst part is the compression garment riding up my legs and irritating the incisions.

Just be prepared for a greatly reduced walking speed for at least two weeks, remember to sit down and get up slowly, and you'll be fine.

Hi, thanks for sharing your photos, I am going to have my arms done as they are really bad.  would love the thigh lift as they are bad also I hear that this is really painful... I am 65 and wonder if it is all worth it, I think yes but still wonder...my thighs are really hanging and loose but my arms bother me more as wearing a t-shirt is hard with all that hanging...the thighs can be covered more with jeans...the stomach is something I would like to do but as I said at my age is it all worth it...thanks again for the pictures...you look great...Pat

  greetings pat

and i would LOVE to get my arms done! I haven’t worn anything with sleeves shorter than ¾ for nearly 5 years now. as you could see on the pics, I really had a lot of skin hanging on my legs – I felt that it hindered my walking – it’s really wonderful to walk and not have all that rubbing going on! It was a painful procedure, but not unbearably or anything.
and I’m 53.
best of luck to you!
