Bilateral Thigh Lift

I was over weight as teen and lost 4 stone. This left me with loose skin on my tummy and legs ( my legs were more noticeable) .
15 years later, after saving hard I decided to do something about it.
My first consultation I had with Mark Soldin. Mark basically said he thought the risks and scars that I would face and be left with , wouldn’t be worth the procedure as he didn’t consider my legs to be that bad although he said I do have loose skin. This really disheartened me as I had done so much research and thought about this for years and although he basically said he didn’t think there was need for the operation , he also never offered me my £230 consultation fee back. To be honest I didn’t ask but if you don’t want to operate on someone surely it’s just courtesy and common practice to offer a refund if you don’t consider that someone is suitable for the op !
1 month later , I came across fulvio after reading a review on here.
From my first consultation he was understanding and could see why I was so upset and see why I would want the op. On my consultation before I’d even committed to the procedure , he marked up my legs to show me what he would do and how many cm’s I would have cut off which made things clearer in my mind.
It was very easy to get in contact with him and his wife ( Rebecca his secretary ) the only downside was I was chased twice for my consultation fee even though I sent proof of payment with a screen shot after being asked first time . I guess these mistakes happen though , we are only human !
The day of my surgery I was very nervous but went down very early so I was pleased about that as less time to think about what was to come. On waking up , I’m not going to lie I was in a great deal of pain. I’ve had cosmetic procedures before but this was the worst by far. I was given some morphine which did take the edge off.
The first 4 days I had really bad sickness ( which I always seem to after general anaesthetic) and was pretty much bed bound.
The pain was really bad the first couple of days and I did take plenty of paracetamol but was still in pain and not sleeping.
Day 5 I seemed to turn a corner, the pain turned into just being generally uncomfortable and I have been getting more mobile as each day goes on .
I had my wounds changed on day 11 to be told everything is heeling nicely which was so good to hear.
One thing I definitely will say is a must is purchasing a she wee as going to the toilet really isn’t pleasant and this makes life more easier !
I would definitely recommend fulvio, he listened to what I wanted and the scars I would consider acceptable and made me feel like I was in safe hands .
I will upload some before photos and a few of my journey so far ......

Bruising is nearly all gone I had 10 cm and 11 cm removed from each thigh . As you can see, I still have cellulite but my legs are much smoother. I do still have swelling at the top of my right leg too .

This is my vertical scar 2 months after op. I am pleased although I’m hoping the redness soon fades!
It’s just a shame as I’m completely healed my cellulite seems to of came back although that wasn’t the reason for having the op but I hoped it would improve which it has but as the swelling has gone down , my cellulite has appeared again
