I'm just curious... I have lost 170 lbs and have had the tummy tuck, breast lift, and neck lift. I'm having my arms done in 6 weeks. I have some numbness at the top of my thigh from the tummy tuck and numbness on the lower parts of my breasts from the breast lift. I have numbness near my ears from neck lift. I love all of the work I've had done and can live with the numbness if its there forever (which I understand is a possibility). What I'm worried about is with the thigh lift its possible to have nerves cut and numbness in my vagina, right? Or maybe those are separate nerves from the thigh. Does anyone know anything about this?

Numbness in the thigh area, but not there! LOL

Numbness after any surgery is normal. They cut nerves and they will regenerate. I wouldnt worry unless it never goes away.

The majority of the cutting in an inner thigh lift is a vertical cut, this does not actually sever many nerves. Horizontal cuts like our tummy tuck etc, cut across the nerves and therefore damage them more extensively.

I would certainly ask your surgeon about it, but i have never heard of anyone having that problem involving those nerves u mention.

Hi Karen,

I had inner thigh lift....been almost 6 months now...I still have numbness and swelling under butt cheek. My stuff still all works

Thanks y'all! Danielle how are you doing? I'm having my arms done in 5 weeks and I'm so excited! I talked to my PS and she said with the thighs that she now does just a vertical cut and that the nerves in that area won't be affected. That will be many more months before I have that done as I have to save up for it. I work and pay cash for all that I've had done. It's taken moving to a cheaper apartment and cutting back on other things, but its really changing the quality of my life and its priceless!

Danielle I'd love to see your pictures. My email is keelinehoppes@yahoo.com.
