Did you have to have 2 procedures to rid yourself of pleated thighs

I had a lower body lift on 2/18 and am thrilled with the reuslts with the back of my body. My tush and back of thighs look awesome! The inner thighs are better but NOT where where I want them. The Dr. DID tell me that where I had so much accordian pleating in my thighs that it would require a second surgery as to do it at one time would be to much of a shock for my lymphatic system. I heard him say it but I guess I really didn't believe him-I thought my thighs would look better. I am still self-conscious-they look about 50% better. He will have to make a 4" incision down each inner thigh cut and lift into the groin area. I can't do this for 3 months he said. Never mind what it will cost to have an additional surgery. Work will not be to thrilled for me taking additionlal time off in May if I choose to do it then. Has anyone had this surgery in 2 stages? If so were you happy with the results? I am finding having an incision go all around my body VERY painful and can't imagine what it will be like going to work in another week when I can not sit for more than 5 minutes! I am eager for any replies and helpful hints you can give me for this recovery and a potential new surgery. Right now it has been 12 days since the lower body lift.
