Thigh Lift Help!!

Hi Ladies, has anyone had a thigh lift before? I’m almost 5 weeks post op and still walking funny and have some pain and a lot of swelling. A few parts of my sutures are starting to reject and open up a little bit when I change my tapes every couple of days. The doctor says it’s normal and not to worry and put antibiotic ointment in it. Can anyone share their journey with me? I feel like it’s taking me a long time to get better.
