lower body and thigh lift...feedback!!!!!
Hi.... so ive already had my armlift and breast lift with implants..now its time for the bottom half. I am scheduled in jan for lower body lift and a inner thigh lift. Im pretty excited, as the upper half was nearly painless, but now researching more, ive found horror stories about the pain with the inner thighs... please give as much feedback as possible. I am at this point very thin, with not much bodyfat at all... will this help? Im starting to freak, because im not a fan of pain meds...... also, dloes anyone have any available before and afters? i did find that no one regrets it, which is promising...
God Bless..pay it foward..Christine
Hello!
I am at week 6 of my lbl. I haven't had my thighs done yet, but have heard that they are painful as most of the cuts are in the crotch/underwear seams. What I can tell you of the lbl, is I really didn't have "pain". More of a uncomfortable, tight feeling. Kindof like someone lassoed me and was keeping a very tight hold on the rope. I am not a fan of the pain meds but they were very helpful in keeping the muscles loose which kept most of the ache away. Now, my main issue is trying to wean myself off my binder. Dr said to stop wearing it at 6 weeks, I wore it for half a day, in the evening for two days and then tried to go cold turkey the third day. Sorry, it is my security blanket and I wore it full time today. Talk about swelling! I looked pregnant! I am hopeful that I can have my thighs done next summer.
Congrats on your journey!
Good Luck!

Hi
I've had both and I have to say the pain was unique for both.... the LBL with the muscle tightening...I think the tightening is where most of the pain was. The thighs..I'd have to say bending the knees and the cut going around the leg towards the butt get sore from sitting on it. Take the pain meds!!!
