Inner Thigh Lift Pre-Op Pic.

[Cazzy 725]

Well having had my abdominoplasgty and brachyplasty in May 2012 am feeling fully recovered and am now going for my thigh lift. My sugeon is going on maternity leave in december so it was either having to wait till next year and another summer interupted by surgery or to get it done asap. My surgery date is the 18th October 2012..

Just to give you an idea of what my poor surgeon has to deal with i am showing 2 pics

one pre-op with my very loose skin on my thighs and one of my thighs in my marena compression leggings. I love these compression legs and although expensive are so worth while, the difference it made to me not having this baggy skin showing on my legs with normal leggings made all the difference in the world to me.

 

Most of you wont get skin as bad as mine as i had to lose a lot of weight and doing the amount of cycling i do my legs are just muscle and skin now, my age was against me and so was being female but i am hoping this surgery will make the difference i need to feel able to wear my cycling shorts or even a bathing suit !

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your experience. Unfortunately, I am going to be looking at a very similar situation so this is very inspirational to read and see.

I had inner thighs done. If you have any questions please ask away.

Thanks all for your good wishes, i am struggling at the minute staving off a darn cold/flu so fingers crossed it comes and goes before my surgery date next week, if i lose this slot i have to wait till next year ..

Good luck on the thigh lift! It is the one surgery that I struggled with, because I was still too heavy when I had it done. With you at goal weight, you should do fine!

[Cazzy 725]

Well I am still crossing my fingers to get rid of this cold/chest infection, Am now on anti biotics and am praying that this chest gets better within the next couple of days so that my surgery can go ahead !

About how much does it cost for the inner thigh? I want to have my done, but I have to lose 35 pounds to reach goal weight

[Cazzy 725]

It would be hard for me to tell u the cost as i am in the UK and i presume u are US and my brother is the general manager of the hospital i am getting it done in so i get a family discount, i certainly wouldnt be able to get it done otherwise .. maybe one of the others on here from the US can help you with that question ,, good luck with those last few lbs anyways !

[Morganjm 5]

I am wondering if I will need these surgeries for excess skin after I reach goal??? I weighed 280lbs, so far ive lost 59lbs, and I notice I have a lot of skin already hanging on my upper inner thighs and under my upper arms. I didnt know if any of you were the same weight and had to have it or will the skin shrink up some??

[Cazzy 725]

Its very hard to predict the amount of skin someone will end up with after losing weight, obviously a large amount of weight like i had to lose its pretty darn guaranteed to leave u with vast amounts of spare skin. For most of you with average amounts of weight to lose its as individual as your hair is, or any other genetic feature. Age and sex play a big part along with either smoking or the menopause all of which impact on your skins elasticity. All u can do is treat your skin well eat healthy and keep hydrated and eat your required amount of Protein.< /p>

I have said this before !! if u do end up with spare skin, wear it like a badge of honour, and be proud of it ...
