From the pictures, do I look like a good candidtate for a medial thigh lift with the scar being placed in the groin area? I would really prefer not to have a vertical scar and I would be willing to give up a little bit of lift. Can either lift be done safely at the same time as a lower body lift?
If the loose skin is in the upper 1/3 of the inner thigh only you my be a good candidate for a crecentic inner thigh lift in which the scar can be placed solely in the groin. If you lift the upper 3-4" of the thigh with your hand and there isn't excessive loose skin in the middle or lower third of the thigh this would also be a hopeful sign. If on the other hand the thigh skin is loose in a circumferential fashion in the lower two thirds of the thigh, you may be a better candidate for an inverted "T" or "L" type of thigh lift. From your photos it is difficult to tell which might be best to choose without further exam.
why do I have to keep creaming the scars after my inner thigh and arm skin reduction and how long for ? thanks marisa
Massaging topical moisturizer and hydrocortisone creams into a scar after any surgery is an important part of any cosmetic surgery. These products will aid the softening and fading of the scar. the physical massaging action will help stretch the collagen fibrils which cause the scar to feel tight and hard. Topical silicone scar treatments can also help in this regard and I use them all in my practice as a routine.
Had gastric bypass 8 years ago...had consult before ...but can not find a surgeon. Want to know where one is near my home & if hospitalization is required. I really need a full body lift. but only willing to do full leg lift at this time.
Not necessarily. Even with a full, medial, extended thighplasty you may be able to go home after surgery. Your surgeon will make the ultimately decision based on the amount of surgery, how you handle anesthesia, etc.
Make sure you go to a plastic surgeon who is board certified and has done alot of surgery on massive weight loss patients.
Good luck.
