New boobs and thighs x post
Ok now I understand why folks can do this and the LBL at once. I literally have no pain now. No pain meds since waking up at 1 pm and its 8:30 pm now. I feel like I can get up and go apart from 5 drains and a pee bag! LOL! Not sure if I got implants or not, surgeon said he will see how it looks. In bandages it looks perky and high up almost to my colar bones. Looks like a C cup to me. We will see when I get unwrapped. Judging by the bandages he touched up the tummy but skin only since I coughed and did not feel like I was burning or hurting in any way. This is a cake walk in comparison with the LBL and that wasn't so bad either. Thighs look good from what I see. I think the mni thigh lift has minimal impact but that is all I needed. And no scar, just a groin incision. So all good! I am all done!!! Yay!!!!!
Awesome, Julia. So happy for you!!
Did you have any lipo on your thighs? Just curious.

Doc said he uses lipo systematically as part of surgery technique. Very frankly I can't see or feel where he would have done it but I am a bit swollen and there are bandages still so I have not fully inspected everything. I will ask him again when I see him. I want to know too. Fact is things are still flabby but much improved, so I will hit the gym when allowed.
Your ability to heal is amazing! Seriously, I am jealous and wondering if maybe drains are the way to go. My surgeon has some new technique that allows him not to use them, which is in part why I chose him, but my recovery has not been as easy as yours. It really hasn't been that bad, I am just tired of feeling restricted in my movement. Sigh. I am not a good patient.
