 Hi all,

I am considering a small thigh lift.  I have a day job, but I am also a fitness instructor.  I'm really worried about not exercising for a while but will be dedicated to my recovery.  How long until you start being active again? When, on average, did you feel like you could do normal activities again?

I had a lateral thigh lift with lipo (along with TT, BL & BA)... I think you might be talking about a medial thigh lift (inner thigh)

I used to run a 5k 2-3xs a weeks prior to PS. I still havent run more than a few minutes. I am 9-10 weeks out.. everyone's recovery is different.. I hear the medial thigh recovery is the one of the worst recoveries (facelift being the worst).

Part of my problem is due to the anemia but also the scars & tension on the skin reduce the range of motion.. Its difficult to describe.. I really cant exercise without spanx/support.

I am not sure how much better it will get regarding my flexibility.. I know for now.. I am holding off on any additional surgeries until this body settles in.
