What does Thigh Lift Surgery Involve?
Thigh reduction removes excess skin and fat from both the inside and the outside of the upper thigh. The surgery leaves a noticeable scar that begins in the groin, traverses the inner thigh, runs under the crease of the buttock, and ends on the hip. Post-operative scars are always more visible on the body than on the face. An incision higher up on the body hides the scar with some clothing, but may remove less tissue. Thigh reduction improves the body contour when seen through trousers or tight dresses, but the scars will be visible when shorts or bathing suits are worn. For this reason, suction lipectomy alone may be preferable as the scarring is less, but for this procedure to be successful, the skin must have the proper tone.
