After Revision Thigh Lifts the Skin of Vagina is Being Pulled Open. Is There Any Chance of Fixing This? (photo) I asked a previous question, but now have included photos. I have had 4 thighs lifts to correct botched lipo. These lifts didn't tighten the skin at all and now I'm left with horrible scars and my vagina is pulling open. There is no natural crease between my legs, and when I open my legs just a little, there is webbing of my skin.My doctor is the Chief of Surgery in a major hospital. I don't understand how a doctor of this skill level could not realize that this deformity could occur.What can be done now?? Am I forever deformed. It hurts as well.

A: Thigh lift

Medial thigh lift with a grion incision runs a small risk of the scar pulling on the labia and causes the labia to pull and open the vagina. This can be corrected, usually need good expertise, and knowledge of the anatomy.

For your specific case, you seem to have had several surgeries, liposuction gone wrong aand 4 thigh lifts gone wrong????

Now it is time to look at the problem from another point of view. That is the correction of the open vagina, due to spread of the labia. correct that and later about one year later look at the cosmetic part of the problem and correct that.

You may need a skin graft behind the labia, to close the labia. Skin grafts and flaps are not cosmetically prety. but you need correction for function and pain now not cosmesis.

Will a Thigh Lift Get Rid of Sagging Skin After Weight Loss? I lost a lot of weight about a year ago, and I am still at my ideal weight but my skin hasn't "bounced back" since I lost the weight. The worst area is in my thigh and buttock region. Will a thigh lift work to get rid of saggy skin leftover from when I was bigger?

A: Thighlift after weight loss

Thighlift is absolutely designed to tighten sagging skin after significant weight loss. The approach to thighlift, particularly the scars involved, depend on the degree of skin laxity or remaining fatty tissue. There are hidden scars that have great results. There are some more remarkable scars that are necessary for more impactful results.

I Had a Consultation About a Thigh Lift and the Surgeon Recommended Doing One Thigh at a Time is This Normal? I Had a Consultation About a Thigh Lift and the Surgeon Recommended Doing One Thigh at a Time is This Normal?

A: Thighlift, one thigh at a time

It is not normal to operate on one thigh at a time when performing a thighlift. While thighlifts may require 2 stages, both thighs receive the same surgery. Two stage surgery may include liposuction followed by thighlift, or vice versa, for example.
