Beginning as a young adolescent I suffered from a condition called Hidradenitis suppurativa bilaterally in the groin area. The infections left horrible scars. There were other issues occurring when I began having these outbreaks which left me emotionally scarred, both events began around the same time. For almost three decades I suffered with these scars, internally and externally. But now, I look at my inner thighs, and even though I am still healing from the surgery, it is hard to believe what I see is me! He is truly a gifted surgeon.

Thanks for sharing, I too have HS, hit at puberty in the underarms, inner thighs and under butt cheek. I just learn that there was a name for the condition and is heretitarty. I got my arms done this past summer, no more pumps orboils. I am having my thighs dine in the spring, will be nice to not have raw hamburger thighs.

I don't think I was prepared for the extent of real down time, and I healed really well! I was finally driving, albeit not too comfortably, by week 4. The healing in the back, the crease of the butt, has been the most challenging. I was pretty swollen the first week, in fact, I ended up using corn starch between my swollen inner thighs to help relieve the pain of rubbing.
Best advice was from my doctor, keep your knees together that first week, and I did!

Still experiencing a little tenderness in butt crease , but overall feeling great and ready for summer. Dr Rao is fabulous and he has worked a miracle for me. I never thought I could be scar free.

So happy for you, glad you are healing so nicely....I also had the medial thigh lift with my lower body lift. The LBL is so major, I sorta just forgot about the thigh lift, but the scars are so thin, I too am very happy with the outcome....
I'm so glad everything went well for you and you're enjying your results. How was your recovery period? Was there much pain or downtime?
