Medial thigh lift question
I am a ways off from plastics, but I want to share what my problem is and see if anyone has had a similar problem that has been fixed with plastics.
I carry most of my weight in my legs/buttock area. Now that I am losing, but butt isn't too bad, but my thighs/legs are horrible. I am almost tempted to say they look worse now than before I lost some weight.
The main problem is where the thighs meet the knees....I have this horrible overhang of fat/skin in the back (can't be seen from front, only from the back). I was horrified when I went to try on pants and saw how much bigger it has gotten in the full length mirror.
Just wondered if anyone has had a similar problem and did plastics help?
If you have pictures I would be very appreciative....thanks!
I just want to know that if someday in the future I could wear a pair of shorts or bathing suit in public :(

I just had a medial thigh lift on 6/25. It made a huge difference for me. And I have now left the house in shorts and skirts/dresses that hit above the knee.
Last week, after getting my lunch from the cafeteria, I texted my husband and told him that I now have an easier time keeping my legs together when I stand because my thighs aren't fighting for space.
Send me a friend request and you can see my pics. I did everything in two phases, the thighs were the second phase. Out of everything, they were the most difficult for me but my ps was fantastic.
I see your WLS is Dr. Schauer - if you're in Cleveland, then I'll recommend my ps - Dr Leedy at Hillcrest. www.drleedy.com

I carried a lot of weight in my thighs and legs. My legs are 100% better than what they were before. I will wear shorts and a bikini but my thighs are still big and have a little area around the knee I'm still not completely happy w/ but will live w/ it. You'll want to discuss this w/ your surgeon. I think he would have to make the incision very low around the knee area or do a lot of lipo to get rid of that overhang. I still have a slight bulge or whatever you want to call it around my knees but I'm going to try to run or see if losing some more weight or different exercise will help there. Either way it's still way better than where you started from. I have pics of my thighs on my profile, send me a friend request and you can see the difference.
