Inner thigh lift folks--would you do it again?
Hijack Cyndi! I have that space between my upper thighs too! It's beautiful! LOL!

How have you been?

12/09 and 6/11, 9 skin removal procedures with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico
Revised to the Sleeve after losing 271 lbs with the LapBand.
I did my thighs along with a brachioplasty. It was a rough recovery but well worth the results. If you make a few preperations like mentioned above (toilet seat riser) and maybe sleeping in a recliner in the early days it really helps. I would definitely do it again.

The thighs were the worst, but manageable. I'm 6 weeks out from my inner thigh lift now. I had a lot of excess skin, and my scar goes a little past my knee.
The scar is a simple tradeoff for me. It doesnt bother me much at all, and is much better than the excess skin I had. I was already at goal weight (normal BMI) and my PS still managed to lipo 4 lbs of fat from my thighs, and removed 2 pounds of skin. So for me, it was totally worth it.
Before my Inner thigh lift my thighs measured about 25 inches around, today they are 21 inches.

Wow Joanne, 4 inches off your thighs at your BMI is incredible! I immediately grabbed a tape measure to see where mine are. I measure 23 at the biggest part. I have a lot of muscle in my thighs along with all this skin and fat. Now I'm so curious to see what Dr. S will be able to do with mine. I think I'm going to have a long scar as well since I have big fat pads around my knees.

Hi Lee,
I did! But a lot of the excess skin was just hanging, draped skin that took up a lot of room. I have some pictures on my profile if you want to see what I'm talking about.
My long scar at 7 weeks is already starting to flatten and fade. I'm going on a cruise in a week and I'll be wearing shorts for the first time since, um, probably my teenage years! I'm much less self conscious of the scars that I was of the skin. Plus, they're well placed. You really dont see them if I'm just standing there, they're on the inside towards the back.
