You look great, Liz. Your surgeon did an excellent job. The results look very natural and you look well-rested, not overly-done like some results I have seen. Thanks for sharing!

I'm sorry you are still having trouble. It sounds like it might be a smart move not to have your thighs done. Honestly, I decided not to get my thighs done and I do not have any medical issues. Too many people seem to have issues with thighs. I do hope you are completely healed soon!!

Hi Gwen
My protein intake is anywhere from 100g to as much as 170g daily. I do have mixed connective tissue disorder but when I talked to my rheumatologist he said it was ok to have surgery.....regardless of my disorder.
Hi Laura
I had another doctor look and he said could be from mixed connective tissue disorder I have. Wanted to get medial thigh lift but not sure if I want to continue now.
Hi Leslie
Thank u for replying. I have only seen 2 sutures in the 7 to 8 areas that have opened up. I also have mixed connective tissue disorder. I'm so ready to be healed. :(
I had issues with dissolvable sutures and spitting stitches for months. Would get an open spontaneously to find a suture under the skin.

I remember a few other people posting about ongoing problems. I believe they ended up going to wound care specialists. Have you gotten a second opinion?
I hope you find relief soon.

That sounds miserable. How many grams of protein are you getting? Have you had trouble healing from surgeries/wounds in the past?
I think, in your shoes, I'd go talk to my dermatologist and see if this was possibly a skin issue that they might have insight on.
