HOME FROM THIGHPLASTY AND FEELING LIKE A ROCK STAR.

I'm HOME, I'm HOME.. What a great experience. I had revisions done to last years circumferential where my surgeon opened up the anchor cut and my sides to take in more skin and some lipo my flanks. Also had my arms redone and surgeon said he sis not need to lipo them (Not so sure about that yet) and I had a medial thigh lift that just blows me away. THERE IS NOTHING HANGING OFF MY THIGHS!!!!!!!.

 

I have a total of 8 drains and am having to wear compression pants that cover the thighs and tummy area. They might be a bit tight though. They're ok when I lay flat but I rented a lift chair to sleep in and I'm actually sleeping in my own bed because any other position and they cut into my stomach. They are crotchless and that is awesome!!!

 

I put my drains in a fanny pack and that was pretty darn clever too. I am in NO pain but am taking 1 or 2 percosets every 4-6 hours to prevent any.

 

I feel awesome!!!!!!!!

I had that garment and it cut into my abdomen as well. I put a couple of 4x4 gauze pads between the garment and my stomach to protect it. That worked well, it stopped the irritation from getting worse. If the skin is broken, you can put some neosporin on it as we'll to begin the healing process.

Good idea thanks. Having all the drains come out of the top makes it hard to get comfortable. I rented a lift chair but that's a no go as laying flat is much better.

I'm thrilled to hear how well you're doing! Those garments are a bear. I'm wearing them from calves to elbows. I wasn't thinking about another 6 weeks of garments when I thought about revision.

Keep taking those pain meds. I hope you keep loving your revisions and thighs!

Lee, when and where will your revisions take place. Oh and what areas of your body?

I had my revisions one month ago today in Mexico with Dr. Sauceda. I went with a friend who got a full body remodel.

My arms were very big to start with. I had them done last December but they still had some size to them. They had a full length revision with lipo. I think I am very pleased!

At the top of my thighs, I had a fat pad at he top of my right thigh that rubbed when I walked. Dr. Sauceda did a six in*****ision on each thigh to make them symmetrical. He also lipoed my saddlebags again.

Lastly, he put the fat from my saddlebags into my face. We are hoping that this is the most stubborn fat and will stick this time. The fat from December was lready draining. I lost from the top down. My face doesn't retain fat, but my thighs do! 😉

I am lucky - My surgeon doesn't believe in the compression garments.  His thoughts are that they actually hinder healing by inhibiting circulation close to the skin.

 

I am so happy you are pleased with your response.  I am three weeks out from my LBL and loving it.  The swelling seems to be finally subsiding.  I am hoping to see the final shape I will take next month or early december!

 

I cant wait to go clothes shopping with the new me.

They gave me 2 pair but I can't lie, I'm wearing the same ones because I fear that the new ones will be tight and I have these stretches to a tolerable level. I am seeing a few dog ears, one on my right knee area and one on my left hip. Revisions to the stomach were due to an old school galbladder scar and on this round look great otherwise look great.  As for the arm revisions I'm loving the right one but thinking the left one still has an upper roll of fat. Hoping my surgeon will see that as well at my appointment next week. i bet all 8 drains are removed at that time as they will all be below 20 cc's. The thighs are the amazing thing. I'm just blown away my friends on how that looks. i do have this crazy Z incision ON my VaGee area and can't remember why they said they did that. HMMMM. No pain and i am down to 1 pain killer every 6-8 hours.
