What Is Thighplasty?
It is no secret that the thigh plays an important role in a person’s appearance. Thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery that enhances the appearance of the thighs by removing excess skin and tissue in the area. This will make your skin and the shape of your thighs smoother and younger. In addition to relieving sagging skin due to severe weight loss or aging, it can also eliminate the symptoms of skin stretching caused by weight gain.

In this method, an incision is made in the groin that extends to the crease of the buttocks in the back. Vertical incisions may also be made in the lower thigh as needed for greater access.
Mini Thigh Lift
If the sagging skin is only in the upper thigh, the surgeon may choose this method. The mini thigh lift is actually an internal thigh lift that only makes small incisions in the groin. The recovery period in this method is shorter.
Bilateral Thigh Lift
In this procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the upper thigh at the junction of the abdomen and legs that extends toward the buttocks as needed. After removing the excess skin, the surgeon closes the remaining skin tightly, creating a smooth skin.
Vertical Thigh Lift
This method is usually used to remove large amounts of skin and extra tissue in the thigh.
