A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that aims to remove excess of skin and fat from the inner side of the thighs, thereby improving their appearance.
Why have a thigh lift?
As we advance in age or after significant weight loss, the skin of the thighs changes and becomes flabby and sagging, especially in its internal part. Although exercise can increase the strength and tone of the thigh muscles, it will not be able to treat excess skin that has lost elasticity. The thigh lift is then the solution to find firm and toned thighs.
Objectives of thigh lift
The thigh lift allows:
- eliminate excess longitudinal and circumferential skin
- to refine the thighs and firm them
Scar
If the excess skin is only longitudinal and slight, it can be limited to a linear scar hidden in the fold of the groin.
If the excess skin and fat is significant, a longitudinal scar is added on the inner side of the thigh of varying length depending on the amount of skin to be removed.
The scar tends to become less and less visible over the months
