I am considering an inner and outer thigh lift. I would prefer that the inner thigh lift only be done with a horizontal incision in the groin crease, as I do not want the vertical scar. For the outer thigh lift, I am hoping the incision can be tied into my existing tummy tuck scar.

I am a runner and I'm completing my first half marathon on April 24th. I am concerned about the amount of recovery time I will need before I can start running again. I am worried about the higher risk of incision reopening and infection associated with inner thigh lifts. And I am wondering if it is really worth it. I love the results of my tummy tuck and breast lift w/ implants and would definitely do those procedures all over again, but the thigh lift seems less necessary, more risky, and less likely to have significant results.

For anyone who has had a thigh lift, do you feel it was worth it? What was your recovery like?

I am so sorry your husband responded to you in such a negative way. It is hard to feel good about oneself or to proceed with ones hopes and desires when you lack the support of your loved ones. To me, our scars tell the story of our journey; one that is filled with our despair, our dreams, our hope, our fight and our accomplishments. Don't let your husbands comments make you feel negative about them or your journey. My spiral thigh lift improved my legs a great deal. They are not perfect and despite how clean I eat or how much I workout, the upper back thighs have had a little bit of cellulite return. However, I love the overall results. If the spiral is going to make you feel better and garner some confidence that you have been lacking, then I hope you continue to pursue it. Good luck to you, @JamieLogical.

@@NewSetOfCurves Thanks for the words of encouragement and it's great to hear you are happy with the results of your spiral lift. I don't know how I'll ultimately proceed, but I had a good cry on my lunch break and I'm feeling slightly better now.

I had a long thigh lift in early december and it was totally worth it. Even I was worried about the higher risk of incision reopening and infection that would be associated with it but the procedure gave good results. Before you take the procedure, learn about the thigh lift procedure, it's do's and dont's etc. This article might be helpful for you in that case.
