Thigh Lift
A Thigh Lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is designed to tighten the skin of the thigh by reducing sagging and excess skin surrounding the inner and outer thigh. For those who are weary about the look of their upper legs, thigh lift surgery is a great way to achieve a firmer, more attractive look. Individuals who have loose, excess skin in the upper leg area due to rapid weight loss or natural skin sagging, a thigh lift can help to tone and refine the legs. There are several options for thigh lift procedures, it is important to find the option that will get you the results you are looking for.
Inner Thigh Lift
An inner thigh lift targets the skin that resides on the inner thigh. This area is targeted by many individuals because it is difficult to eliminate excess fat and skin through diet and exercise alone. During the procedure, an incision will be made at the junction of the thigh and the pubic area. Through this incision, excess skin and fat will be removed. The remaining skin will be stretched and sutured to create tightened skin and an improved contour.
Bilateral Thigh Lift
A bilateral thigh lift specifically targets the front and outside of the upper leg. Excess fat and sagging skin in this area can be quite apparent, but a successful thigh lift can tighten and smooth out this highly visible area. During the procedure, an incision is made at the top of the leg, right along the crease leading to the pubic area. Excess skin and unwanted fat are then removed and the remaining skin is then sutured. This particular thigh lift is extremely successful for those who have experienced rapid weight loss.
Medial Thigh Lift
A medial thigh lift procedure specifically targets the area of the upper inner thigh. This is the area of the thigh that is most often bothersome for individuals; many experience this area of the thigh ‘rubbing’ together. During this procedure an incision is made in the groin and extends to the back crease of the buttock. The skin is lifted and excess fat and skin is removed. The tightened skin is then sutured at the incision site. This procedure is very effective at reshaping the inner thigh area.

Patients can experience scarring from any of these procedures, but the scars are minimal and most often in inconspicuous places. Lasting scars pale in comparison to the benefits individuals receive by undergoing a thigh lift. For smoother, tighter thighs, there’s no alternative to thigh lift surgery. |
