Here I am again! I am very unhappy with my inner thighs since I lost all that weight years ago it seems as I get older my skin is starting to sag and, if I don't do something about it now, I will not do it when I'm older so I took another bold decision and, decided my thighs were next. I have taken pics but, I will compare side by side after my procedure. I'm not going to lie I feel like I'm going to be disappointed and, not get my legs to look how I really w want them but, all I can do now is take the risk and, do it! You'll never know if you don't try. I will update as soon as I am able to take the pictures after.
I'm excited & a little worried as you can see, I can't sleep.

I understand, I am nervous that the scar is going to be really ugly and that my legs will still not look good enough to wear shorts- or that the scar will make me self concious about wearing a bathing suit etc. BUT on the other hand, I can’t live the rest of my life with them the way they are now, and working out does nothing but make them bigger, not less flabby. so removing the skin is the only thing that makes and sense for improving the situation! I’ve seen some very nice results that give hope- and I wish you all the best in your recovery!! I’m here for you sister! Only 4 days until I will be there laying in bed on painkillers too!!!

Have you considered or asked your surgeon about the medial thigh lift? That cut lifts to your groin area instead of the cut down your legs. I think my legs looked a lot worse than yours and, that's how I got my cut. I haven't seen it yet since I haven't taken off my garment..lol....girl I'm in so much pain but, I know it's temporary and, it will be worth it when I'm healed.

I did consider it early on, but when I look at before and afters, I just wasn’t seeing much difference with that compared to the results of the vertical. and because my extra skin issues go down to my knees, I was told the groin cut Would only pull up some skin on the inner thigh and I want it all tighter- my surgeon suggested a lower body lift with an inner thigh lift but I’d rather have the scar in a place on my body I already am unhappy with than take the chance of changing a part that doesn’t bother me and then have to get more surgeries to correct that. if that makes sense.

Oh yes makes perfect sense, if he's a great DR, I would definitely take his advice, the best experienced Dr's will always know what will work best for you. I'll be posting pics soon, I'm still a little swollen but, so far so good.

Stunning results

karmenp73May 14, 2018

I never thought that after my bodylift 2 years ago I would consider additional procedures done to my body but, as one gets older the skin tends to sag and, lose elasticity so with that said after losing more weight my thighs and face was looking a little saggy and, I wasn't feeling confident anymore so, I decided what the heck! Let me look 40FINE on my 45th birthday lol....so here are the results before and, 3 days later after surgery. I am sure as I continue healing the results will look even better.
I am happy and, have no regrets, even though the pain is real (not gonna lie) but, I'm taking it easy and, not rushing the healing process right now. Pain meds are my best friends right now.

thank you for posting pics- are you noticing a lot of swelling?

I noticed more swelling on 2nd day, today is 3rd day and, noticed more bruising so, I'll see tomorrow what I notice different. Use your compression garment and, socks so you stay more comfy. I'll post pics of products.
Oh, I read some scary reviews on squatting to pre and it is a little uncomfortable but, I'm getting through it lol

Yes, he decided lipo at last minute and bruising feels sore and, a little burn but, today I got this ointment for bruising and some ARNICA pills you put on bottom of tongue for swelling and, bruising.
