“Thigh Lift Left Me with Sagging Skin, Unnatural Contours - Corona Del mar, CA”

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?

Kirsty

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.

I wish I could find a doctor to help me....I am so depressed.... I feel like a freak.

I posted more pictures on a separate review.

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...

BTW~ if you want to come to Baltimore you can come see my new doctor I think he could really help you! There are several out here I think you would really love Are you in D.C.?

the right leg looks great and on the left I see the area that bothers you, but that should be covered by shorts or even a one piece suit with good rear coverage. I know you feel awful about this, but YOU are not your body, you are just a soul who temporarily inhabits this body and if you look throughout this site at all of the after photos of the body procedures, you will see you still have a rockin bod!

Sky,
I finally had my medial thigh lift (scar from grion to inner butt cheek) on Feb 15th and i had several complications with the scars healing, but as of yesterday all parts have closed (fingers crossed that my body stops rejecting the deep sutures). I also have a lymphocele that my doc has drained 3 times and is going to put a drain n today.(set back)..but all and all my thighs look great (aside from the swellin). But my issue is the outter appearance of my vagina. My labia majora is almost non exsistent and the mons (upper lip like part), is gone. I say it looks like a vagina on crack....its very scary looking to me. The inner labia just hangs out unprotected, getting dry and irratated. My hubby doesnt see anythg wrong with it. He thinks its easier access to u know what. But i hate the way it looks. Even if no one will ever see it, but him, i hate it and i want it fixed. So I aplogize for down playing your feelings. Although that was never my intention, in retrospect it may have appeared that way. I cant and dont want to live my life with a creapy looking vagina. So i understand your plight. I wish u luck in locating a ps to fix your incision.
Take Care,
Headliner

Sky,
How is it going? What's the status on your repair surgery?

I am going for a second consultation with Dr. Svelack. I think he may be able to help me.. but I am also worried that it could go wrong. Hoping and praying he can help and I can get back to my life. Thank you all who have replied.

How was your consult? I am also thinking about going to him.

The consult was very good.... he is a good listener. I had the procedure.... one side came out beautiful!! ... the other improved.. but still has problems. So I have a follow up on Monday and am hoping Dr Svelack is as compassionate when it comes to redoes. I'll let you know how it goes.

Keep us posted darlin. I have decided against going under again because even though I have the means, its not enough promise of perfection. Trust me I understand the hell mentally and physically, sweety I considered burning my stomach with a hot iron, so...I absolutely know what you mean. Sending you little angels in hopes your satisfied...
BB

Thanks BB...... I appreciate your kind words. And sending you sweet angels as well. Want to learn to love myself again... imperfections included. Sometimes it can be so hard.
