A thigh lift is a plastic surgery procedure to remove loose skin from the thighs. Successful and sustained massive weight loss can lead to extensive redundancy of skin in the inner thigh area. Constant rubbing together of the redundant inner thigh folds predisposes to areas of skin irritation and infection and interferes with personal hygiene. Clothing may be difficult to fit and there may be psychosocial concerns of a disfigured appearance. Comfort and appearance improve by the plastic surgery procedure known as the thigh lift.
Before the operation you will have a so called "pre-op" visit. During this visit you will be able to discuss your expectations with the surgeon and the surgeon will inform you about the procedure and explain its risks and limitations.
Before the operation we will make pictures of the concerning area. The pictures are for the patient's medical report and are subject to the medical confidentiality.
You will also need to have your EGC and blood picture done.
The inner thigh lifts are done with short incisions over the inner thigh, hidden in the groin crease. Outer thigh and buttock lifts are done with incisions extending from the groin around the back. These are well hidden by bathing suits. All of the scars fade with time.
