Who makes a good candidate for a buttock and thigh lift?
Generally, the best candidates for buttock and thigh lifts are in good health, currently not on birth control pills and do not smoke; they are also realistic about what surgery can provide them. Because buttock and thigh lifts are not a substitute for proper diet and regular exercise, candidates should not view the procedure as a long-term strategy for weight loss or a treatment for obesity. Patients who have decreased skin elasticity also make particularly good candidates, as the lift can produce dramatic improvements in appearance.
