I would really like to have at least some skin removal surgery done. My question is charcuterie did you have to meet to be considered medically necessary?

It went well, but I did have a healing issue on about six inches on my left inner thigh.

You might want to discuss scar placement with your surgeon.  My surgeon put my incisions on the back of my thighs, so I wouldn't  have long scars on my inner thighs. and the surgery itself was a skin excision, not a thigh lift, so exercise and muscle building to contour my thighs has been the result.

I exercise anyway, so that isn't a big deal; I just focus a bit more on muscle-building for my thighs.  I'm expecting to have some liposuction to even out the back, but since that's cosmetic at this point (unless my surgeon feels it is medically necessary, and presents it to the insurance company that way), then it's going to be up to me to pay for it.  The skin excision was deemed medically necessary.

Hi All,

I see that this is a Lupus group, but I wondered if there was much research on Sjogren's and VGS.  I am specifically worried about dry mouth issues.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Prior to surgery, I had been told by people who'd had that type of surgery as well as the surgeon, that the thigh skin is the hardest to heal, especially the inner thigh.  The surgeries took from winter into spring to heal, and I had a six inch wound separation on one inner thigh that required home care nurses to come in and treat for about eight weeks.  That is the exception rather than the norm, though.  My best advice would be to make sure you have your protein stored up for healing, and if you smoke, stop.,  Nicotine constricts the tiny capillaries in the skin and interferes with healing.
