Thanks for asking. It went really well. Surgery took 3 hours. I had lipo to my outer, inner, posterior thighs and knees and lower abdomen and a pubic lift. The pain only lasted about 3 days. I am 12 days post op today and I actually did 30 minutes on my elliptical machine today (even though the dr told me to wait another week). The brusing was horrible, but is getting better. The swelling hasn't been too bad so far. I can already see improvement. I just hope I don't have too much sagging when the swelling goes away. I don't think I'm going to be satisfied with the pubic lift though. I had some excess skin from my tummy tuck that I was hoping he would remove and he ran out of time. I'll wait 6 months to see what it looks like and I may consider a revision if I don't like it.
How are you doing?

Hi Cathy,
I was just wondering how your surgery went? I meant to wish you good luck on Wednesday but forgot.

Allie, your pictures look incredible. Your ps did a great job. I think your thighs look great now the way they are. I wish mine looked like that. I've thought about getting some lipo to my thighs, but I'm worried about being left with hanging skin. Anyways, you have a lot to be proud of! -
Fanny, I just looked at your pics. Everything looks amazing! Did you just have a breast lift or did you get implants too? I am trying to decide on what I want done to my breasts. Yours looks so good. The blisters don't look very comfortable, but those should heal soon. Hopefully everything is still numb so you don't have to feel those. Your belly and bum look great. Your surgeon did a wonderful job. Also, did you have anything done to your thighs? They don't seem to have any sagging skin. I wish my thighs looked like that! Congrats.

Hi Fanny. I've been reading your thread for awhile now. Congrats on the weight loss and plastic surgery. I had a tummy tuck in April and now I'm interested in a breast lift. Do you mind if I view your pics? Thanks and congrats.

Dr. Schulman, I was just wondering how successful thigh liposuction is. I am considering having this procedure done, but I am worried about being left with hanging skin. My thighs are pretty muscular now and I do work out 6 days a week, but I can't seem to get rid of the inner thigh flab near the groin area. I am also wanting some lipo done to the outer thighs as well. I have heard that some people have this done and then wish they would have just left their legs alone because of hanging skin. I am 37 years old and didn't know if age makes a difference or not with lipo. Also, could this be done with local or iv sedation vs. general anesthesia? Thanks for your time.

Laura- You look amazing. I can't believe the transformation. You must be really happy! I have a question for you. Where is your port located? I had my tt in April and my port was moved next to my bb and it sticks out like a sore thumb. It looks like there is a golf ball under my skin. I am seriously considering a low profile port. I can't even see your port in your pics. Cathy

How many weeks post op are you? I wasn't allowed to do any strenuous exercise until I reached 6 weeks post op. Before that, I was walking. I always wear my binder when exercising but I still seem to swell. It's not horrible and it does go away quickly, but this is the only time I seem to swell.

Congrats Sue. I'm glad to hear that you're doing well. Exercise will make you feel so much better. I couldn't wait to get back to that. I felt so sluggish for sitting around for so long after my surgery. I am 6 weeks post op and I'm still wearing my Spanx 24/7. I find that I start to swell if I don't. The doctor told me I could take it off at night, but I'm still wearing it anyways. I do wear my binder when I'm exercising because it gives me more support. I'm so happy for you. Thanks for posting the update.

Congratulations on your weight loss. You look amazing!! -
Dr. Schulman, I am interested in getting lipo to my inner and outer thighs. I don't really have any hanging skin, just some localized fat deposits, despite all of the exercise that I do. Can you tell me what the recovery would be like and approximately how long I would need to be off work? I am a nurse and am up on my feet for 12 hour shifts. Also, is this something that could be combined with a breast lift or would they need to be done separately? Thanks for your time.
