Two weeks post medial thigh lift.

You're very welcome!  The thigh lifts are known for complications - so one should consider the least invasive needed to get the result they desire.

Hi - thanks for sharing your experiences on your thigh lift, hope you are feeling better as each day passes.

I had mine 2 1/2 months ago and agree it's a tough recovery, I got a hematoma in one thigh and it did start splitting open when I popped some stitches - however it's now fully recovered, albeit the healing at the time was difficult.

I just wanted to say that at only 2 1/2 months out - I no longer think about my fat thighs pre -surgery, or my recovery - it's really at the back of my mind now and I'm moving forward with my life.

So hang in there as it will get better day by day - til it's all a distant memory.

My story about my plastics journey - TT and breast lift April this year and thigh and arm lift 7 weeks later are all on my blog if anyone wants to read.

I used a female urinal called a SheWee which was fab and and also left hospital in compression suit which really helped with my healing - I had to wear it 24/7 for 8 weeks - now I don't wear compression - but do wear support capris when I'm exercising from Fila.

Good Luck
Debbie

I love the name SheWee. . . and here I htought I was being original with my invention!

Lisa, my thigh lift was a couple of years ago. End result has been great, but I was told it would be easy compared to lower body lift that I had in 2007. Not so! I had a lot of swelling in my feet for about 8 weeks and they hurt from the inside out. Trying to not get urine in the incisions was tough. I finally made a pee bottle out of a 2 liter pop bottle by cutting the bottom out. It's an incredible journey isn't it? I had my rny in 2005,LBL  in 2007 and thigh lift in 2010 I believe. No more surgeries for me!
