Won't lie the recovery was tough. Not the incisions down the thighs but the groin. Only sat to have BM. Again was amazed of how many muscle you need to pee. had some healing issues in the groin but did heal. Had amazing support from my surgeon. Thigh lifts have the highest risks for healing due to gravity and areas in groins. Would it stop me again nope as I did a spiral lift first then did medial. The pain disappears. as long as you follow MD advice and don't push self too fast you'll be fine. Thigh lift was my 3rd plastics went on to do the rest. Going for lipo in 10 days to add some definition. 8 years post RNY

Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing. I am so happy for you! May I ask what dr. Did you go too? Who is performing your surgery.

I live in Saint Louis and my plastic were approved on the first try. They made an error and only approved one thigh but two tummy tucks, weird. So, we waited till the new year to put it back through. I wanted it done this year so my deductible/out of pocket would be meet early as I wasn't even close last year.

Just got them back today and they approved everything, added the arms this time and I have until May to get everything done.

Never heard of having scars on the outside of thighs. Had mine from groin to knees. Outside would be very noticible. Inside scar would be hiddened.
