inner thigh lipo/lift recovery

Hey Everyone-

On Wed, May 4th I had an inner thigh lift with lipo (they removed about 1.5 liters of tissue with the lipo).  I look and feel like someone has taken a bat to my legs- but this too shall pass.  Was just wondering how the recovery process was for you all.  When did you notice a significant decrease in swelling, pain?  How long did you wait to resume sex?  How long before you were really able to go out and walk around alot?  Any tips on how to make recovery go as quickly and easily as possible?

Thanks in advance for all info :)

I didn't have significant lipo w/ my MTL but was walking gingerly for about 2 weeks. At about 3 weeks I was back to normal and out at the club and had sex at that time as well. just took it easy. Didn't really start aggressively walking until I was about 6 weeks out and started back to the gym w/ weights  cardio. Days where I was more active my legs would swell more. Swelling lasted quite a long time for me. By the end of the day my feet & ankles were huge and that lasted for 6 months or more.

Hi Christine,
How are you? How have your scars healed? I am thinking of an inner thigh lift with the scar in the grion to the butt. Are you satisfied and would you reccomend the surgery to others?

hey there- I'm doing great.  The thigh recovery was the toughest of all 3 of my surgeries, but I am over all very happy.  I did have a slight infection of one of the incisions, but I caught it early and took antibiotics and it cleared right up.  the scars are all flat and fading nicely. I dont even notice the 4 tiny scars on each thigh from the lipo cannulae.  I do have some sag in the inner thigh still but my surgeon informed me prior to the procedure that he would be 'conservative' with the lift because he said if it was too tight i could have pulling on the labia which would be undesirable- this is the only thing I am not thrilled about, but as I said overall very happy and yes I would highly reccommend the procedure with a skilled surgeon.
