Those that had a LBL-

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, 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.
