I am very please with my results, my incision is thin and barely visible. I had very saggy skin and now my legs are proportionate. My scar is in the groin area. I am finally able to wear dresses.

I am 6 months out. My thighs are nicely shaped. I started running and cellulites are becoming less visible. I am wearing dresses and shorts for the fist time since 1985. I am very happy with my results. I had my surgery with Dr Cardenas and stayed at a recovery house. I would do it again in a flash!!!!

Hey there, thanks so much for coming back and sharing with us. I'm glad everything has worked out well for you. If you don't mind sharing, how was your recovery period, following surgery?

My recovery was very short and successful. Do you want me to elaborate in a forum?

You don't have to go into a seperate forum. It would be great if you could elaborate a little bit, as it really helps people that are at the beginning of this process, just to see how others experiences were. If you don't mind elaborating, you can add the information to your review, by using the "update" button on your profile page.

For the first week I was lucky enough to be in a recovery house at Beauty Care and they had raised toilets with handles. For the first 2 weeks it is a must. I would remove all my clothes with the help of the nurses and use the bathroom by holding myself up on handles. I had to wash the area so all the bacteria from urine would be washed off. I then slightly patted it and put back my clothing. I was advised by doctor to put dry gauze every time it was damp to prevent area from being wet. Within a week I was able to sit down without holding on to handles. I kept applying a cream dr prescribed. By the end of the second week I left TJ and was able to fly home on a 5 hour flight and 2 hour drive home. I healed quickly by following dr instructions. I was not allowed to squat or bend over for 4 weeks but I was able to drive by the end of 3rd. I was slow to move for only 4 weeks then I was back to normal but just got a bit more tired. I would suggest 6 weeks off work. I will post my thigh groin incision, a bit graphic.

Do you have pictures? Were they able to pull enough skin tight with just a groin incision?
September 30, 2012
Yes the picture of the incision as above, Thru pulled back to make the area look good

I will post some more. It is enough depending on what result you want. Mine was realistic, I always had heavy upper thighs but it was starting to ripple and looked gross. By doing lift I got rid of ripples. I still have lots of cellulite but that will only be gone with diet and exercise. I am very pleased

Hi Free, good to at long last hear from a Thigh lifter, thanks.
Can you post some before and after pics of the whole thigh? That would be really helpful. I can hardly see any incision on your pic.
Thanks

Congrats you look good, how did you get in contact with this Dr

You look great. I'm scheduled for a thigh lift, long vertical scar, next week. Question, after my LBL, I slept in a recliner. After your thigh lift, were you comfortable laying flat in bed?
October 24, 2012
I was comfortable and was laying with lots of pillows to prop myself up where needed.

Look great!! How long did you stay and how much was the surgery? Thigh Lift

I stayed 2 weeks and it was a combination of 3 surgeries so I got a reduction in fees but I think its regular $3500.00
