As embarrassing as this sounds I must ask. After your thighs actually breathe after all the weight loss. Does the dark area go back to its normal skin color?

I'm curious to know as well!

I wonder this as well!

I have heard from my relatives that have had the surgery that if you brush the area with a stiff bath brush as you are loosing weight, the skin does change back to it's regular color. They also say that brushing your skin in the shower helps with the lose skin...it stimulates cell turnover apparently.

you can always apply discoloration creams to the area to aid the skin in becoming lighter post surgery if the bath brush idea doesn't work.

Never gave this a thought even though it was a major concern per-surgery 17 months ago. So I went to look. Clear skin. They are wrinkled and flabby but my inner thighs are the same color as the surrounding skin. Amazing. I have nothing special - no brushing, no lotion - just last fat and no friction.

down 80lbs need to b 100, wish I wud of had bypass

Dry skin brushing definitely helps the sagging skin and dimples.

When you say brushing skin, brushing skin with what?

Yes - what do you brush with?

Something like this. Moving toward the lymph nodes on the body

Yup although I hadn't really noticed till you mentioned it. NSV!!!
