Your thighs looks great. I want to get a thigh lift/lipo from the same doctor. I was told I would have to come back to have skin cut almost 9 months later. how long did you have to wait and what did you do with the extra skin/? was it heavy? I am nervous but tired of ny thigh burns. lol

In 2001, I lost 82 pounds using Weight Watchers...
In 2001, I lost 82 pounds using Weight Watchers Points Plus Program combined with hardcore personal training and lots of cardio. I’m certain I've done 1 squat and 2 lounges for every French fry McDonald’s has sold!!! Despite my efforts, my thighs remained flabby from what I thought was fat until last year. After visiting several plastic surgeons I learned that I was a good candidate for a inner thigh lift. I obtained 3 consultations and each doctor recommended some variation of the thigh lift (Limited inner thigh lift w/ lipo, full thigh lift no lipo, etc). I ended up selecting the doctor that recommended the Limited inner thigh lift w/ lipo. As of today, Post opp Day 6 I am pleased with the results but very apprehensive about the way my labia (vaginal lips are). I go back to see him on Thursday. I am hoping that all the swelling and tightness has them looking distorted but if not, they revisions will have to be made. As for the recovery itself, it has not been the living hell I imagined given what I have read on many blogs.

My doc wouldn't cut above because of the labia separate. She went down the inner thighs with liposuction. It's only been 2 weeks. Still have a drainage tube in. I noticed some loose skin way up high on both legs. She said she will take care of that in her office at no charge. Happy so far. Had a tummy tuck at the same time

Post opp day 2- I went in today and had the drains removed. It was painless (My pain meds are wonderful lol). The nurse cleaned my wounds and applied sulfur cream along with the dressings. So I plan to go home and nurture myself twice daily as she did. I also met with the doctor to discuss the details of my procedure. Yikes. My surgery took twice as long as he had estimated (more money out of my pocket) and he was not able to suck as much fat as he would have liked out of my inner thighs. RATS. Well I guess that means all of the lunges and squats paid off. Aside from the extra surgery fees and low fats suction, I am most concerned with my labia. When my doctor came to see me during my surgery recovery, I asked him why my va-jada lips (libia) looked funny and he really didn’t respond. I was too drugged up to press the issue, but when I return to get the sutures removed I plan to get more details. I am extremely concerned and we discussed this at length on several occasions.
