Thigh Lift Pain. Was it really bad?

Since I've gotten my TT(10 days po) my thighs are super noticeable yuck since the apron (pannicus) is not covering them. I thought that my brachio plasty would be horrible , but its actually least painful then my TT. So I think i'm going for a thigh lift. Please share  your comfort level ( i know every one is different) but how long before you could walk or squats to use the bathroom.

I walked slowly the next day. The pain wasn't as bad as many made it out to be,I had morphine the day of surgery and only tylenol after that. I did do a ton of weight training to prepare for my surgeries though. I had a TT, brachio, and thigh lift at same time and knew I would need strong muscles to move myself I'm 3 weeks out now and yesterday on my walk around my neighborhood I really was tempted to break into a jog , but I held myself in check. I say go in with positive thoughts and it will be much better for you. Good luck !!

Wow FedEx all at once you go boy! Thanks

The thighs were the most painful for me. W/ the swelling and such I had a hard time walking and trying to sit on the toilet. Took the pain pills much longer than I have w/ any other surgery. That being said I was back to work at 10 days post op and moving kinda slow. At  3 weeks out I was back to normal life, going out w/ a friend and to a club on Friday night and even having sex. So it might have been the most painful but I think the recovery time was also much quicker than when I had the LBL.

I really don't like pain (not that anyone does), but I get truly ill when in pain (such a punk..lol)

Do you think surgery has made us delerious? lol I am 11 days post panniculectomy/TT venral hernia and abd wall repair.  After looking at myself for the first time naked since surgery.  I too don't like the thigh saggage.  Now I am dreaming of fixing the thighs then maybe my arms lol.

Carla if you ask the DH YES i have lost my mind..lol He says I'm not going through another surgery . I just thought to my self buddy you better go hide those cards because YES I will be back in the OR..LOL! The arms really is not that bad at all . If I "had" to go back to work and it was just the arm I had done I could have gone back this week and maybe do 4-6 hours a day.

I had my thigh lift and took medication for the first 10 days.  I wore a compression garment 24 hours a day the first week and then at night for another week.  The first three to four days were a little challenging/  My suggestion is to get your core muscles are strong as you can before the surgery - it made moving espeically getting in and out of bed and on and off the toilet a lot easier.  Good luck.

Thanks! I'm going to get a quote from my surgeon on Tuesday.
