Just trying to ready myself for the conversation with my surgeon. Well really, I am trying to ready myself for the fact I probably won't be able to bring myself to spend what it will cost! I do realize it varys surgeon to surgeon, but getting a general idea will help me know if I'm anywhere near being able to afford it.

Thanks!

Like you said, surgeons price on a case by case basis. I need a fair bit of help as I have alot of hanging tissue and skin. (Who knew you could have crepe paper sacks hanging on the inside of your thighs?)  I am having an inner thigh lift that will include a vertical line extending  down towards my knee. I hope the scar can stop at the hemline mark and not have to go all the way TO the knee.

My cost for the surgeon fee part is $4k but I have anesthesia and operating fees on top of that.  I'm probably on the high end but at least it is some info for you.

What a coincidence, I have crepe paper sacks for thighs too!! Small world! LOL! My husband keeps saying he is the only one that will see them so why worry. Yeah. Easy for him to say. It is true that I would likely not wear a bathing suit without a skirt and surely I'd not wear shorts short enough to show them, but I am having issues fitting pants right and I'd think that having the inner and outer thigh addressed would improve my odds of finding pants that fit my waist AND my thighs. Granted, if I spend anymore money on plastics I won't have money for pants!! LOL! 

The $$$ part stinks, but what stinks more is still feeling self concious after losing 150 pounds!! 

Thanks for the giggle and the info!

I had a thigh lift last year - $6,700 all inclusive.  My incision goes 2/3 of the way down to my knee.  My legs still don't look great - but at least the rubbing is gone and all the extra skin doesn't show through my slacks!  Good luck.

Global fee at the Cleveland Clinic for inner thigh lift is $8500.
