Why people consider it
What are the benefits?
- Considered when skin, not only fat, hangs from the thigh
- The scar is planned along the inner thigh
- A support garment for about six weeks
Often considered in the situations above. A consultation is the place to talk about the result you have in mind, and whether this procedure is a sensible way there. Nothing is offered until that conversation has happened. Individual results vary.
A thigh lift removes loose skin from the thigh, the skin that exercise does not take away. The scar runs along the inner thigh. Where clothing will cover it is agreed before a date is set.
A thigh lift is sometimes combined with liposuction in the same surgical session.
