Thigh Lift
The Thigh lift is a procedure designed to improve the contour of the inner thigh and knee regions. The best candidates are patients who, through significant weight loss or aging in general, have developed significant loose and hanging skin in the inner thigh and knee areas. There are two types of procedures. The first, which is a more limited procedure, involves a horizontal or transverse skin excision which leaves the final scar hidden in the groin crease. This problem is most applicable in patients with more moderate laxity, typically in the upper thigh to mid thigh region.
The second procedure is more extensive and involves a longitudinal incision from the groin area to the knee. The final scar extends from the groin to the knee along the inner thigh. This procedure is indicated in patients with more extensive skin excess throughout the entire medial thigh and knee, many times associated with large weight loss, such as with gastric bypass surgery. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia either as an out patient or with an overnight hospital stay.
