Hi all!
So I'm doing great! No complications! My scar is healing well and I'm back to running and training at the gym like I was before. One hobby I've given up for a little is yoga just because I couldn't do the moves comfortably, I didn't want to over stretch the scars. But I'm so happy I've got this done and I'll post a pic when I get a chance! Summers around the corner, get to show my legs off soon! Woohoo

HELLLO!
sorry for the late posts, I wish I could just upload pictures from my phone but it always says error, and I'm never on the computer so thats why I don't post much, but I'll answer everything I can, So besides the fact I gained some weight (working with food/not being able to workout for a month) really killed me! Anyone know any diet pills with no jitters or anything helpful?! I started working out again and I'm running at max on a treadmill 6.0 which is an improvement, although it can;t be for too long. I wear nike compression shorts under my skirts or when i work out but other than that not so much although I probably should :/. As far as my stitches opening, I've had two instances so far, not sure what caused them, the doc said maybe I jerked the wrong way, but nothing to worry about as long as you take care of it. I'd cover it with aquaphor and about a week in a half went by and theyre closed again. I do get gnarley ingrown hairs and currently have one right on my scar, guess i shaved too close, but it's a little tender and sensitive. My scars are healing great I try and apply mederma whenever I remember. I was instructed three times a day, I may do it once a day if that :O
However when it comes to healing....the inside sides of my legs look great and I assume because it's not getting stretched out as much as the other parts. The tops on the scar are more noticable I think its because when I do sit ups it tends to stretch out the scar, and I wish my backside would heal up better as well, but I think its not due to me constantly crossing my legs and stretching :( Its still swollen back there and is my inner thigh a bit. The swoll on the backside makes my but look funny because its my flat butt, a swollen bump, and then flat leg, I think it looks funny but my sister tells me it's so unnoticable. I'm just a detail looker. I'm posting pictures as well, don't min the hair by the incision I can;t shave it '(

Hi KK246, THANK YOU for sharing your results and your legs look AMAZING! I have similar issue with my legs and have been waiting for positive post on the groin medial thigh lift, most reviews are on the extended thigh lift. I have been researching this procedure for years and there aren't that many physicians who have experience with only groin thigh lifts and the ones I have met with have discouraged me from doing it because they say the scar migrates downward, scare stretches/widens out and when that occurs the labia also widens out. Did Dr. Fisher go over any of these concerns? I would love to get my thighs tucked and be able to finally wear shorts and skirts without being embarrassed about my legs.
Do your scars show when you wear bathing suits or underwear?
I have so much fear and your post has helped encourage me to rethink the procedure.

Sorry for a late response - I haven't experienced any of that stretching and it wasn't a topic of conversation with my doctor, I've had no issues so far though! They show only to an eye looking for it, it's hidden under the butt bump (perfect placement). It's a great procedure I'm so happy with my results I'll post pics when I get a chance - thanks for the support xo

Wow, what an accomplishment and you look fantastic. How brave you are as well. I have had a t. tuck and t. tuck revision but I'm scared to do what you did. I hope all the soreness and tightness clears up for you. God Bless and congratulations!

@alese I am thinking about another T.T. because I feel it could have been done better I am four years out and scared to do it, I remember the pain. Why did you redo your T.T.?
September 8, 2014
My first one was horrible. I was a size 6/8 going in with a little loose skin over C-section scar. Came out a size 14 and stayed that way until revision. Didn't even know that was possible. I had a lot of injuries and very bad aesthetic result, actually looked worse than when I went in. Also had a hematoma and fluid that turned into a pseudo-bursa so I looked pregnant. I had to redo it or stay that way and I was in pain for a year and a half so I redid the surgery and got the pseudo-bursa removed. I think as long as you have a good doc you'll likely be ok, but it is a long recovery. Make sure they will provide plenty of pain relief, and make sure you have plenty of downtime for recovery. My revision doc was excellent but he's in Scottsdale AZ. Looks like you already found a good doc though.

Thanks for your update I chickened out, because I saw some bad reviews on him, but with PS you get good results and some bad and I am going to have to judge for myself.

Dr. Remus Repta in Scottsdale is excellent. I have never seen a bad review on him.

Your Doctor did an amazing and beautiful job! You look beautiful and the incisions are barely there already! Wow! Dr. Parker did surgery on my 3 year old's ear to remove an embedded earring backing. She has no scars at all. Excellent surgeon!

I love your results, did you get the scar down your leg? I want the surgery, but that scar down the leg scares me. I am certainly calling this doctor.
August 22, 2014
sorry for the late reply! thank you! the scar was made in my groin around to the butt. the doctor is great! and the one down the leg usually goes for people who have a lot of knee saggy skin, I just had upper thigh sag

Nice thighs hunn, did u wear a compression garment post and how for how long?
August 22, 2014
Thanks xo! I bought my own nike compression shorts and wore them for about a month, whenever I wear a skirt or dress I wear them as well.

Thank you KK426 for sharing your story. Yes, I'm having the thigh lift only as well and I'm terribly nervous because it seems like there are more bad stories than good. Your results look amazing and it sounds like the recovery process was manageable. The other thing that was good to read is that you didn't have any openings (at least from what I could see in your review). Do you have any back side photos? My thigh lift is going around the back side around the buttocks and I'd love to see if yours did too. I have a ton of loose skin on the back side of my thighs (and the front). Thank you if you could share photos from that angle as well!

congrats! It's definetley worth the discomfort for a weekm honestly once the drains come out you feel 50% better than when you can spread your legs an inch wider you feel 75%, then when you sit on a toilet 100%! haha! Unfortunately people who have bad experiences tend to talk about and blog about it more then a good experience is what I've learned especially in the food industry. I had the same concerns and my doctor agreed with the advertising bad stories because the ones with the good results don't go out of their way to share it. so I wanted to be the good story that did! the recovery is manageable just be patient and takes thing slow, which was my problem lol. I did have openings during the month of July. I immediatley called my doctor when I noticed and he saw me the next morning to make sure it wasnt a stitch. To be honest, I think it was a damn ingrown hair that cause an inflammation under my skin then popped open to the surface cause he checked me for stitches coming out and I was cleared for no spitting stitch. Just covered with aquaphor for 1.5 weeks and it healed nicely. My back side photos I uploaded, their just embarassing for me cause my flat booty :( lol according to me I think they are a but noticeable but according to family and friends it is not bcause the shadow of the butt and how i look standing normal they say you cant see it at all. congrats on the weight loss! you deserve to get the saddlebags off, enjoy them legs!
