Extended-Mini Thigh Lift & Belt Lift 7/11/16

[amazon 579]

Had my post op appt yesterday (3 days post op) and two drains were removed (back drains). Didn't feel a thing!

There is almost no swelling and no bruising at all. My dr. is quite impressed with how mobile I am. I'm pretty surprised how good I feel.

Even though output wise the leg drains could be pulled, we are going to wait until my next appt on Tuesday. She feels that drainage could increase as I become more active. So far it's not the case, but will see. It will be nice to be free of drains. But the best part is no drains = shower!!

I'm out of the "girdle" pictured above and in 3/4 length running leggings. They are providing good compression. I have gauze pads over my back and side incisions. I am also in a surgical bra. That's going to change to a front opening sports bra as soon as. It arrives

The compression garments are required for a minimum of six weeks.

I'll try and get some pics.

@@amazon, looking forward to more before and afters! I am scheduled to have a TT and thigh lift in December. I am completely torn on which version of the thigh lift to get, but I am leaning toward the full (to knee) incision because I don't want to be disappointed in the results after going through it all. What would you recommend for supplies, what type/brand of binders/garments, a walker?, did you have or rent a lift recliner? Thanks for sharing and happy healing!
