Thigh Lift and Gaping Vagina? Doctor Referral in Washington DC Area?

I am ready for a consultation. Should I travel far to find a doctor. I do not care so much about the scars, but gaping vagina really scares me!

I also feel that the skin elasticity is most horizontal rather than vertical. Would incisions in the groin take care of that or am I looking at a long scar.

These sutures are permanent sutures and has... more
