I lost 75lbs thru diet and exercise. One day it seemed like all this loose saggy skin just appeared on my legs. Now embarrassed to wear shorts much less a bathing suit. I live in Florida where you need to wear shorts. Can't even look at myself in mirror. Took away all the thrill of flooding weight. Finally I couldn't take it no more and met with a plastic surgeon. Aug. 28 he is doing a bilateral and medial thigh lifts. So very nervous. I want great results and am so worried what will happen if it doesn't turn out like I expect it too. I have faith in my doctor. Would like to hear from some others who had this surgery.

I had a thigh lift in April 2015. My legs were saggy and full of cellulite. I am 55 years old and I now I have the legs of a 30 year old. The cellulite is gone and my legs are tight and
shapely. The recovery was no picnic and the scars haven't faded completely yet, but I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. I wish you the same beautiful results that I have. Your self-confidence will increase a thousand-fold. Go for it!

I'm glad your thigh lift turned out great. Did u have a medial lift?

Yes, it was a medial lift. My incision is halfway down toward my knees but it is healing nicely and I know that it will fade away into a thin white line, a small price to pay for smooth, shapely legs. You will be so happy with your thigh lift. Honestly, the recovery isn't easy, but the results are amazing.

Thank you for talking with me. I guess presurgery jitters are getting to me. Did the lift make your thighs tighter? My dr said I had no extra fat just skin.

My incision is going all the way to mid knee.

It's totally understandable to be a bit nervous.  This video may help with your jitters.  Also, the more you ask questions in the communities, the better informed you'll be.

Wishing you the best.

Yes, my thighs are nice and tight. I feel like I look 20 years younger! I even look better in clothes because the skin is so tight and youthful. It's really amazing. You will be thrilled with your new look!

If you search "medial thigh lift" or "inner thigh lift" or "spiral thigh lift" here on Real Self and then select the tab marked "Reviews" you can read through them and then send a private message to a few members who had the procedure in the past. . Many, if not most of those who have already had their thigh procedures would not currently be using RealSelf searching for thigh lift information so they will not see your request for contact.
