Can they lift from the top of the inner thigh only so you don't have to have the vertical scar down the length of your inner thigh? I don't have a huge amount of loose skin but a little lift would do wonders. Anyone have that done?

Yes...I'm scheduled to have a "mini medial thigh lift" with Dr. Sauceda in December. This procedure involves incisions at the very top of inner thigh near groin area.

Yes they can do that - but no, I had the long scars because I had so many issues with my thighs - i carried most of my weight there so for me the scars were worth it!

Yes, you can. I am having it done next week. It is good in that it hides the scar, but you don't get as good of results.

If you are willing to discuss the cost, what is the cost of this type of surgery? And how long are you out of work?

Cost is $6000. I have not had surgery yet but I am off of work for a month.

I had the scar around my groin. Scar is hidden by undies and a bathing suit. I had my done 6/08. I am happy with my results.

I am having a MTL in June (rescheduled from December). Anway, while there is a surgery that does not include the "hockey stick" scar, I was not a candidate due to the way my legs ended up after weight loss. I would imagine your PS will let you know what is best for you at the consult. Good luck!

Yes, it can be done. I had that done by Dr. Agha. here is a link where he describes the procedure:

I am pretty happy with mine. I no longer am embarrased in my gym classes watching my thigh skin go flappety flap!
