Thigh Lipo Before a Thigh Lift? (photo)

User Avatar

I've lost 165lbs and need a thigh-lift. I've had consults with 2 surgeons so far. One said if he doesn't do lipo in the thigh first (a few months before the lift) then I wouldn't like the result. The other didn't meantion lipo, just the thigh lift. If I just get a lift (without lipo a few months before) would the scar look bad? Would it have trouble healing? I really don't have the money to do lipo and then come back months later for the lift. I just want to fit into normal non-stretch jeans! :/
