I had a horrible thigh lift which resulted in my vagina being pulled open. I reached out to many doctors but none seem to want to help. "Its a complex thing to correct" Finally I found a local ps who put a skin graft, but unfortunately it did not take. He wants to put another graft, leaving the wound open for 10 days so that it can vascularize and get good blood supply in hopes that this time it will take. I have been in much pain, discomfort, infections, dryness etc. Can this be corrected??????

Here are the key points to the groin incision with the thigh lift.
Very effective in removing excess skin.Down time about 2 to 3 weeksCan be a bit sore because of the area of the incision.Not as effective in debulking (liposuction is better)Helpful after massive weight loss.
Hope this helps...
Thank you for your question.Yes, it will be possible for you to get a tattoo over your scar. I would contact your surgeon and discuss the possibility as they know how well you've healed at this point, and if the scar has matured enough.Best,Dr. Michael EpsteinMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL
I think that a minimum of four months after liposuction is adequate time before undergoing a thigh lift procedure. Make sure you are seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon.
