12 months post Inner thigh lift
NenieAugust 5, 2016
WORTH IT$20,000
Well it's been 12 months since my inner thigh lift. My legs have slowly changed during this time. Not only do they look better, but they feel better too. Having an inner thigh lift and all my running has definitely paid off.

Hi again Nenie.
You're looking great Hun.
I followed in your footsteps last year (as predicted) and had the body lift. It went great & Howard was awesome, as usual.
I'm now considering a thigh lift too & am wondering how much it cost all up?
Also want to say "hi" to HorseyOne too. I'm also from Cheltenham in Glos. Lovely place.

Hi Pommy girl. So good to hear from you. How are you? You had a body lift! That's great!!
My thigh lift costs- $4,000. Surgeon, $3,250. Hospital, $1,300. Anaesthetic.
Do you know Horseyone? Are you living here now?
I haven't had a great year. I had surgery 4 weeks ago for breast cancer. I'm just recovering now,
all going well. Looking forward to having a good summer! Nene x

your surgeon did a very tidy job. it looks good. really not very noticeable and shape has maintained a natural look.

Great result! Thank you for updating with photos, the close ups are really good and healing well but I see the scars are about 1cm below the crease line. Is that where he made the incision or has the scar stretched? I hear they can do that so just want to see if that happened to you. Also would you mind posting a photo of your front top legs now, so that we can see the difference after 6 months as can't get an idea from these photos as they are out of shot? Did you have more lipo on your legs with the thigh lift and do they remove the fat and skin together or just remove loose skin? Thanks!

Hi Henie,
Sorry, I was so delighted with your photos!!! I does not read all the comments, and immediately asked you about the number of operations....Now it is all clear for me. Thank you!!![RS bleep]

Inner Thigh Lift
NenieAugust 30, 2015
Hi everyone
Just an update on my latest surgery. 8 weeks ago I had an inner thigh lift. I hadn't been happy with my legs for a while ( they were hard work!) Even though I ran every day and have good muscles I had loose ,saggy skin - particularly my upper inner thighs. Howard recommended an inner thigh lift ( groin incision only) I was so excited he could help me again !
I stayed one night in Epworth Eastern ,all the nurses and staff were fantastic. My pain was not too bad, the only difficulty was the frustration from being restricted from my normal activities,however I knew what to expect ,I have done it all before and you have to be sensible with your recovery.
2 weeks after my surgery I developed a hematoma which became infected. Howard was wonderful, he saw me straight away and drained it. He prescribed antibiotics for a week and even came to see me on a Sunday ( what more can I say!) Not only a brilliant surgeon but he is also a really nice man.
My infection cleared and my incisions healed well.
I can now see a big difference in my upper inner thighs. I go back for a review in a month and will update then.

Wow..You have come a long way..I have just read your story for the first time and I am impressed..You look fantastic and certainly not 50..I don't know if I could have put up with that much pain, good for you..Do you have much in the way of scars from all,of this ?
September 5, 2015
Thank you so much! That is really nice of you. I do have scars but they dont bother me at all. My old scars have faded and are barely noticeable and my latest ones from the inner thigh lift and still red but are well hidden.

Hi Nenie
You're looking good girl!
It's good to see your updated story so I know where I'll be in a couple of years Lol
After my BR earlier this year I went to see Howard last week about a TT. Looks like it's gonna be a body lift too. My before pic was so similar to yours ( I just wasn't brave enough to post it) I can only dream I end up looking as good as you.
Happy recovery & I look forward to hearing from you in a month xx

All I can say is WOW. Of all the many many reviews I've poured over on here your transformation is the absolute best!
Looking at the before and afters is like looking a two completely different people. I'm gobsmacked.
All your running and hard worked combined with your surgeons magic skills has definitely paid off.

Thank you! That is so nice of you to say!
It's been a slow gradual process for me, but I did it! (with Howard's help). Howard gave me the confidence that I could do it - it has been life changing.

You look absolutely incredible, your entire body shape has changed . Such a metamorphosis. Good for you.

Hi. Well done you look amazing. Could you tell me how long your scars are from the inner thigh lift? Can you see the scars from the back? Do you think you could post a close up (discreetly) as I really want this done but I'm worried about the scar. Also I have heard that it can change the shape of the vulva - did that happen to you and if so did it rectify itself or stayed different? How much of the leg was lifted, did it lift down to the knee or just half of the length of the upper leg? Thanks.
January 6, 2016
Hi and thank you!
My scars are 6 inches (or 15cm) long and are not visible from the back unless I bend over.
My vulva is just fine. It looks and feels the same as before. Thanks to my very experienced surgeon.
I would say just half of my upper leg has lifted which is what I had expected. I did have some lipo done around my knees which has helped. I go back to see my PS in March and will possibly have some more small areas done around my knees and half way up to hopefully even things out.
I'll update and post some more pic's soon.

I wouldn't underestimate the very hard work you put in and then managing to incorporate them as routine and aspects of your normal life, such as diet, exercise and generally caring for yourself. Ho, ho 50+, pull the other one! You fully deserve the looks you have.
I'm so glad you're benefitting emotionally from all of your efforts. The mental satisfaction probably helps give you drive to continue with your healthy lifestyle.
OK, maybe Australia isn't such a bad place after all!
Well done on your fantastic achievements.
I hope you have a great 2017.
Yes my posture has improved. Before my BR the last thing I wanted to do was push my chest out and hold my shoulders back! It's not a problem now. I'm currently seeing a physio for my shoulders. They're not in the right position, so I'm working on that.
Exercise is part of my life now. I look forward to it. "It's me time".
A half a hour, twice a day on my treadmill. 20mins running 10mins walking.
And like you said caring for yourself (huge). I do now.
You really need to take time for yourself.
And finally, us Aussie's aren't bad. Where are you from?
Happy New Year to you! XX
You are deserving of any and all praise that comes your way. Your ongoing healthy life choices, which you're committed to, are testament to your efforts.
Oh, I'm from Cheltenham in England. I see the weather in Melbourne this week is conducive for a tad more bikini wearing: in Cheltenham it's suitable for wearing about 4 layers.
I have the misfortune of not personally knowing any Australians. People I know who've visited Australia have been full of praise for you, well Aussie's that is although some may have come across you.
I hope that with some more physio, and no doubt yet more hard work by you in the shape of many specific exercises, your shoulders improve.
Have fun.
Thank you again. You are so kind!
You're from England. I holidayed there about 10 years ago and loved it! It was in the summer though, so not too many layers. You're right, it's been pretty hot here in Melbourne so our pool is getting plenty of use. Oh my shoulder isn't looking good. I might have to have it tighten up. I have multidirectional instability of my left shoulder which is causing pain and weakness in my arm. I have been doing exercises for 5 months now and my right shoulder is a lot better but not the left. I am seeing a shoulder surgeon in a couple of weeks so I will see what he thinks
Bye for now!
Your pool is looking pretty good: well it was in your post of the 5th August.
I'm sorry your shoulders are giving you trouble: life seems to have a recurring habit of throwing up something(s). I do hope you find a way of lessening the pain so that generally you'll be more comfortable and If that means surgery, oh dear, oh well, oh I hope for the best outcome.
You do exude a positive outlook and maybe soon your body will give you some peace.
As much as you can, take care.
I wish that was my pool, but unfortunately is isn't. It's the Maldives. My pool is a bit smaller!
That's so true life does keep throwing things up, but it's making me stronger. My health is important to me now and as long as I can do something about it then that's ok.
Thank you! X
