Dramatic weight loss is the usual cause of extensive redundancy of skin in the inner thigh area. This skin is often flabby and dimpled in appearance. A thigh lift removes this loose skin creating a tighter and more attractive thigh.
This procedure uses incisions that parallel the groin crease. The thigh lift is usually performed on the inner surface of the thighs, but can include the outer thigh area and buttock if indicated. It is performed under general anesthesia and requires wearing a compression garment for few weeks after surgery.
