Thigh Lift California

Patients who experience or achieve significant weight loss often notice a failure of the stretched skin to tighten up. A thigh lift, technically known as Thighplasty, is an excision technique done to remove excess skin from the thigh and buttock area.

The procedure is done under general anesthesia and takes about two hours. The inner thigh lifts are done with incisions over the inner thigh, hidden in the groin crease. The procedure may start with liposuction to remove any excess fat in the thighs and legs. Outer thigh and buttock lifts are done with incisions extending from the groin around the back. These incisions are usually placed so that any scars are well hidden by bathing suits.
