Why a thigh lift?
The skin on the inner thighs is thin and rapidly loses its elasticity with age. Changes in weight accelerate the sagging of this area.
When there is excess fat in this area, rubbing the thighs can become uncomfortable when walking. Liposuction alone will not restore tension to the tissues.
How is a thigh lift performed?

A surgical procedure will be necessary to re-drape the skin. The surgeon can hide the scar in the groyne fold. The traction is vertical, like pulling up trousers.
However, if excess width predominates, a scar along the inner thigh should be preferred, as if a pair of trousers were being pulled down. A compromise between the two techniques is often necessary, resulting in a T-shaped scar.
The operation takes an average of two hours. Healing is often longer than elsewhere, as it is located in a moist area and walking makes tension difficult to avoid.
Complications are rare, but unfortunately always possible: infection, effusion, delayed healing, skin necrosis, the most dreaded being embolism.
