 I am having an inner thigh lift in a couple of months.  I wanted to see if anyone could share their experiences on this surgery.  Pain? Healing complications? scar migration?  scar healing? mobility? drains? Swelling? any helpful hints about how to make the first few weeks as painless as possible? 

Also, I wanted to see if y'alls thighs went down a good bit in size.  Did you lose many inches?  Did it tighten everything on the inner leg up a lot? Did it affect the outer leg any?

Thanks for the input!

This I'm quite interested in hearing about.  This may be my next surgery depending on how awful the recovery is.

How will your procedure be done?  One surgeon I consulted with does the vertical scar down the inside of the thigh, and the other one does the thigh lift placing the scar at the top of the thigh where the pantie**** moving around the thigh.  Both mentioned why they prefer the technique they use over the one they do not.  Each had reasons why.  What did your surgeon say?

I have had everyything done except my breasts, arms being the easiest and thighs being the worst.
\I dont want to scare u, I am being honest. I knew this going into it that it would be bad & I ve a high tolerance it is not the pain so much it was uncomfortable to sit, walking was fine I was driving in a few days, I had to drive the van with the seats pushed all the way back.
I LOVE MY THIGHS, even with all the pain I m glad that I did it and I would do it again, yes I did loose a lot of inches my legs are small now.
healin: my legs at the top  the scar did seperate and it healed fine with no infection
scars: are fading it has been 2 years
drain are always annoying
swelling: I bought a compresssion garment from Marena group down to my ankles to keep swelling down
recliner chair was helpful and raised toilet seat is a must u can get them for about 20.00 at the drugstore. it didnt affect my outer leg but Ihad no issues with that , check out my photos
good Luck
