Question:
Skin that looks like testicles on the inner thigh . . .
What happens to that extra skin in between the thighs that is so annoying??? Has anyone had to have that removed or did it shrink and now looks similiar to dehydrated prunes. lol. Please respond to me at [email protected]. thanx, kim — Kimberley A. Green (posted on January 8, 2003)

Kim, you crack me up! Actually you sound just like me when I stand in front
of the mirror. Or when I sit "unladylike" in the recliner and
flash my hubby...he thinks I'm crazy but if nothing else at least that
flabby skin is fun to shake at him! Seriously however, I believe that it
can be corrected with a body lift (expanded tummy tuck with thigh lift
etc.) I also have the "puffy mons pubis" which is also
oh-so-attractive. Anyone experienced with that? I believe a body lift is
what I will shop for at the plastic surgeon! :) - Anna LAP RNY 7/3/02

Good Lord, the skin inside of my thighs is just plain scary. And, I am
actually having a full abdominoplasty and lower body lift at the end of
this month. Alas (sigh)...my plastic surgeon says while the body lift will
do wonders for my butt, hips, and outer thighs, it will not have quite
dramatic effects on the inner thighs. A thigh lift could be done, but I
haven't heard all the best about that procedure. I'll see how they turn
out after the lift before I even think about it.

I had an inner thigh lift and it looks wonderful, I love the results! My
surgeon (Dr. Manduano in Tulsa) was able to take out a cresent shaped area
from inside of each thigh and place the incision in the bend of leg and it
circles around the inside and in the back is hidden in the slight crease
under each buttock. I had terrible stretch marks and awful skin in that
area and so the scars don't bother me at all. In fact, I can wear shorts
now, even short ones. I did it in July and my scars are just a fine pink
line now. Oh yes, and my insurance paid for it.

Nature might shrink up some but if you have a lot of skin its pretty
doubtful. Thats my thighs too. They are still shrinking up some but I'm
pretty sure an inner thigh lift will be coming up in the future (not too
soon though). I've seen pics of some thigh lifts and they have wonderful
results. Personally I know one lady to have an inner thigh lift done. She
had great results and said that recovery wasn't bad at all. She said the
worst part was urinating and having the incision down in the creases of the
legs down there. (ouch!) As for the poofy crotch mentioned in the first
responses, I can relate to that too. Anyone who has a tummy tuck done
should talk with their doc about having their crotch taken care of at the
same time. I had to do mine in a separate "touch up" of my
original tummy tuck. I'm so grateful to have a nice little flat crotch
that looks normal. Before that, once my tummy was gone, that poofy fat
crotch stuck out like a sore thumb and made me so self conscious. Anyhow,
I wish you guys good luck.
