A thigh lift is an ideal cosmetic procedure for those who are dealing with excessive amounts of skin around their thighs. Typically, excessive skin is the result of excessive weight loss, but it can also result from aging or a person’s natural loss of skin elasticity. Depending on the amount of tissue to be lifted or removed, the incision location for a thigh lift can vary.
Discuss your options with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Andrew Lyos. The procedure usually lasts two to three hours but can change depending on the amount of lifting to be done. The incision can be made minimally, involving only the groin area. However, the surgeon may include additional or extended incisions for a more advanced lift.
