Did it address you inner thighs at all?  Even a tiny bit?  I know its not really designed to, but just pulling around and up on my outer thighs and panni seems to pull the inner thigh up a tad- so it has my curious.  My inner thighs arent *that* bad, and so Im hoping and praying that maybe with just a tiny pull from the LBL, I wont even think about wanting to have them done separately.  So, input welcome please!

Nope.  Not a thing.    The mons will get pulled up (at least, check with your surgeon and make sure he's doing the mons lift, too!), but it doesn't touch the inner thighs at all.

Nope, sorry.  Make sure that your PS will pull up your mons area.  It doesn't help the skin/fat in the inner thigh area.  I did have the inside groin done.  It helps now that the skin doesn't rub together.  No more starting fires!

The inner thighs are not really impacted at all.  You may find after a LBL that you inner thighs do not bother you since they are not too bad to start with.

I may have had a few extra potholes along the way, but the journey has been good!

I am planning a LBL too.   I am told it doesn't address the inner thighs directly, but does change the outer thighs and butt sag so we will have a new starting point.

My local surgeon strongly recommends doing the thighs last and in a separate procedure - basically after we see how things are after the LBL.  That implies to me she expects some kind of change. My inner thighs aren't bad down low - I have these big blobs up close to the body on the inner thigh.

She is also doing the mons lift and I guess I am struggling with even understanding that one. I  mean, i don't want to be pulled too tight...lol.  I trust they know what they are doing!

Nope. Did not do a thing except make me realize I really do need my thighs done (that whole painting a room in your house makes everything else look worse analogy). But at almost 2 years later, I have made peace with my thighs. If I never get them done I will be OK.

My thighs weren't too bad before my LBL and I thought about having a small thigh lift.

I didn't, and now I 'm kind of glad. My stomach looks so great and the mons area is really tightened up that my thighs don't bother me anymore.

I'm just looking forward to my belly not slapping on my thighs!

I had a thigh lift at the same time without lipo (8/29/12).  I had my "front butt" removed. So thrilled but still had some jiggling behind the scar.

Just had the lipo done 2 weeks ago. Dealing with pain, swelling and fluid retention, but glad I did it. Can't wait to see the results.
