“Mini-thigh Lift: I Can Finally Wear a Swimsuit!”

Worth It

Spent: $18,000 in Beverly Hills, CA

I had horrible thighs - they were like cottage cheese with lots of indents from prior lipo gone bad. I had also lost a lot of weight, so the skin was loose too. I hated my thighs so much that I would not get into a swimsuit around my friends for over 7 years. Then, I had a mini-thigh lift to even out the indentations and tighten the skin. I am so happy with the results.

Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

My rating:

Dr. M is the best. He did a fabulous job, the scarring is minimal and my skin has not looked better. In evening out the indentations, My Dr. was able to do what other doctors had not been able to do. He is also kind and very caring, and makes sure that the patient is informed every step of the way. He is always available to answer questions, even well after the surgery.

Does anyone have post op pictures of their thigh lift with a vertical scar 3 months or longer post op? I am considering a thigh lift with an inner vertical scar. I had one done many years ago with the scar around the groin and the improvement was 10% at best.

Thank you Dr. Aldea for your quick response. My Plastic surgeon was not trying to make me do as many procedures as possible, it was more me. I would like to do this all in one fell swoop do to it being more cost effective. I excercise regularly and am in good health.Thank you again. I pray I will heal quickly & completely.I am thinking in my mind the sooner I make myself walk and move as much as possible the sooner it will help with the healing process. I truly appreciate your wisdom, this is a wonderful site.

You have several procedures posted with Dr M. Did you do them all at the same time? do you have pics?

I had two surgeries, two weeks apart. I don't have pictures, sorry. I'm very happy with the results! I would do it again in a heart beat.
