I have always worked out and watched my diet... I was in good shape but still had sagging skin on my thighs. This surgery left me with unnatural contours and my skin now pulls and sags in a very unnatural and uneven way. I am very self conscious and depressed about it. Basically it looks horrible. Dr. A was impatient and rude to me about my concerns.

Hi Sky,

I'm sorry you've had some trouble with your surgery. Have you been able to speak to your surgeon about it or get a second opinion?

Dr A tried to revise my incisions.... he was unable to improve them. He returned 4,ooo of my money ... so now I am not his patient anymore and he does not have to help me. I would love to find a surgeon who could... and would gladly sell my house and all my possessions to be able to feel that I can live in my body again. Life is unbearable... This has eclipsed my entire life.... all joy happiness is gone.... never a moment of peace...This is a living hell to feel this way... I feel like I am a freak

Hi, I can share in the same story as yours. I went to a Dr G for lipo and came out a freak after. I didn't have sagging skin before and now... I stopped living the day of my prosedure... Its the same here, I would do anything just to look normal again... I've been to another Dr who really tried to help me but unsuccesfully. I'm in HELL

Thanks for posting your picture. I have searched high and low for a medial thigh lift scare photo. Seems as if body lifts are more common. From the picture, the scare itself looks very well consealed. I'm sorry you are not happy with the results. I wish you had posted more pictures so that you could get feedback. It's probably not what you hoped for but not as bad as you think.

It seems like somehow it could be pulled up somehow and stitched back together. Have you seen other doctors~ there are SO many wonderful doctors out in your area willing to help, that are truly wonderful caring and kind and THEY REALLY LISTEN TO YOU~ I know first hand. I am sorry you settled for the 4,000.00. Don't feel like a freak just be proactive and find a dr, to help you. I have a scar where people see it everyday I am going through something similar~ but I am not going to mention my dr. we are trying to work things out but he doesn't want to listen to me. And In time I am hoping to only say Great things about him but for now, I have seen two other doctors who REALLY want to do his revisions and have my publicity ( and they seem amazing ) and I am seeing another one on Thursday. I work with little kids and I bend down alot and they see my scars all the time and I want to cry everyday. My dr. professes to be a world class world leader in PS and he I have to fight with him just to fix them, I live with holes in my sides, lipo that was never done on my thighs which makes for the thigh lift I paid for worthless a big waste of money that I saved up for years. And does my dr. care NO~ on the front page of he web site he goes on how much he cares. and what a perfectionist he is. AND I so wanted to be the person showing off my hot body and giving the BEST reviews everywhere. So I understand YOUR Pain but we need to pick up and move forward. I gave him a chance to listen to me and care but no dice it was just ALL about HIM and HIS PAIN~ are you kidding me if he lived in my body for one day and felt those kids make fun of my scars, or my husband see the holes in my side or me having to buy bigger pants after paying for lipo and thigh lift which it should be just the opposite ( but the lipo was NOT done) Hmmm he might just say just one time I am really sorry lets fix this together I want to make you a happy patient.... just maybe. It hurts to have your doctor turn on you the doctor you trusted. The one you thought would take care of you if things didn't turn out right. It kills me when I hear all these other girls have issues and the Dr.s take care of them right away NO Issues. I thought that's how my Dr. would be, i mean I am happy for the other girls but Why isn't my Dr. like that~ He now want's to take a 3 1/2 hour general Anesthesia surgery and do in office under a local. I don't think so , and in his own words here on RealSelf he says thigh work should Always be done under General Anesthesia. hmm go figure. So, girlfriend get up and go make some phone calls and find a dr, to help you! Maybe getting a butt lift would help lift those scars but you would really hate the other scar you would get. Well get on the phone and let us know what you come up with~ I will be looking forward to what you come up with~ : ))))) Right now you can ONLY move forward I am sorry for what you are going through for real~ ; ) I do agree with headliner it's really not as bad as you think, it's not great by no means but at least when you put on clothes you can't see it. but when your naked I don't think it's as concealed as headliner thinks it looks it's pretty thick and low on your leg. Okay enough of my 3 cents...
