Thigh Lift

A thigh lift is an operation that I usually reserve only for extreme cases. In most people circumferential thigh liposuction does a great job in reducing large thighs. While this procedure doesn't always result in perfectly smooth thighs they are much smaller. So why don't we remove the extra skin and make them smooth?

This is a good example of the saying "The enemy of good is perfect!" Because the weight of the skin, fat and muscle of the  thigh is so great, the scars from the lift tend to spread and migrate downward. Even though they start out high in the groin crease, they are often visible below the bating suit line later on.

If a person has massive weight loss this procedure is well worth it. , But only if the trade-off for visible scars is well understood.
