Default Thigh Lift

Has anyone had a thigh lift. I'm not even sure that's what you call it. My legs need some serious help. I'm not sure if I want to check out legs first, or tummy.

Has anyone had their thighs done? How bad is it? Is the scar noticeable?

I'm researching plastic surgeons in my area. I figure I'll go in and get some info at a consult. I'm nervous about it though. Seems more real if you go in for the consult.

I have had an inner thigh lift done. I didn't get the kind where they do an incision down your leg to your knee. I got the kind where the incisions are in your groin like in the panty area. I am not so sure the surgery was worth it.

I've had the lower body lift which included the thighs. My scars go about a 3rd down the inside of each thigh & across my tummy, round the sides to about a quarter on each side of my back. I was disappointed. I still have a lot of wobbly, excess skin. My surgeon said, "It seemed like I'd pulled it tight, oh well, we can just do it again." I said "thanks, but no thanks." I've checked out another surgeon who wants to do the proceedure again, but wont incorporate lipo. So I'm still deliberating. I feel I need some serious lipo to the areas, and THEN address the extra skin. I have pics on my blog Lapband - 7yrs Later All the best.

Default Thigh lift

I had it done and have a panty line scar. Im glad I did it, I wish it was "tighter" but it's better than the shar pei look I was rockin. Insurance wont cover this at all.

My surgeon was J. Timothy Katzen in Beverly Hills, he only works on rapid weightloss patients at this time.
