I have loose skin above my knees. I had a 100 pound weight loss, and had a thigh lift, but it did not correct the lumpy, crepey skin above my knees. My doctor did not believe a thigh lift revision was called for, although pulling up the skin to imitate a thigh lift created the results I wanted. He convinced me to try Thermitight, as he said it was the only option for the knees. After the procedure, I had two giant burn blisters on my left knee. They were dime sized, but very deep and took over two months to heal. I was able to walk without too much difficulty several hours after the procedure, but the front of my thighs felt very tight, as if the skin was re-draping. I was very hopeful. I wore a compression garment 24/7 for 2 months. I still have some swelling, but there is very little improvement to the area. All I wanted was to be able to wear shorts or dresses that hit above my knee. There is still no way I would don a Sparkle Skirt (running skirt) now. I see my PS on Monday, and I plan on letting him know how unhappy I am. There is no visible improvement. If there was a knee lift, I would have chosen that option instead.
