WORTH IT$4,400
I flew from NYC to have a face to face consultation with Dr Mel Ortega about having a Medial Thigh lift done. He was very realistic with me and told me he can improve my thighs. I hated the way my thighs looked. I lost all this weight naturally and with help of liposuction and now I have 80 year old thighs. I wanted them fixed with out that long scar down my leg. He said he can do end make me happy. I'm 3 weeks post op and I'm pleased and healing well. The pain is bad at times but there expected. My thighs are looking good. I'm getting post lympathic massages here in nyc but loved my massages in spectrum from Yazna. My coordinator Stephanie Luna was the best. I really could ask for a better experience at spectrum. The price was right and my dr was amazing.

Yazna was great as a massage therapist. I had a thigh lift and a bbl done here and she made me feel so much better after these procedures. I was in a lot of pain afterwards and she relieved most of not all of the pressure and discomfort i was feeling

After losing over 100 pounds over the last several years, I am thinking of having the same surgery done and in addition to having saggy skin on my inner thigh's, I have saddlebags on my outer thighs. Did you have issues with your outer thighs and did it help? Last summer I had a lower body lift and I'm happy with the results however my thighs are still a big problem. I can rarely find pants to fit. I would like to see pictures of your results but can understand your hesitation with posting them. Thank you

I didn't have the Outer thigh issue just the inner thigh issue. I just posted my three week post op pics and once I get my pics back from the clinic I will post my before pics. This surgery recovery is hard but so well worth it when you look down and see the saggy skin gone. I wish you good luck :)

I enjoyed reading your post. I would love to get the same type of surgery done on my thighs,but where I live in MD it costs so much. What you paid is cheap compared to other doctors in my area. I hope that you will decide to post some pictures here for those of us who wold like to see the results. Good luck to you & your beautiful new thighs, smile.

I would love to see before and after pics! I can't figure out how to send a message to your inbox but if you post some that would be great. I hope to go to Dr Ortega this summer for MM then I would like to have my thighs and butt done next year. I would like to see how he does it and what incisions you have to have.

I was in a lot of pain after my surgery and I was swollen a lot. I don't know what I would of done without my post lympathic massages with Yazna. You automatically get one free at the clinic after your surgery but I purchased a package of three for the rest of my recovery there in Miami. She came to my recovery house ( Miami recovery house which was absolutely beautiful I attached pictures of my recovery house as well if you staying in Miami I suggest you book your recovery with them) she was gentle and firm with getting out all of the excess liquid and swelling out of me. I was excited every time it was time to get a massage. You never know how much you need those massages until after surgery your body starts getting tight and swelling up. I totally suggest you getting them.
