Thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that is designed to improve the appearance of the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the remaining tissue. Thigh lift surgery can be particularly beneficial for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight or who have excess skin due to aging or genetics. During the procedure, incisions are made on the inner thigh, and excess skin and fat are removed to improve the contour and shape of the thigh. While thigh lift surgery can provide significant improvement in thigh appearance, it is important to note that the resulting scar can be long and visible. However, with proper incision placement and post-operative care, most patients find that the benefits of a more contoured and proportionate thigh area outweigh the potential for scarring. A board-certified plastic surgeon can help patients determine if thigh lift surgery is the right option for them and can discuss the risks, benefits, and potential outcomes of the procedure.
