After having liposuction of the circumferential thighs, I have a small amount of loose skin on the back of my thighs, just below the buttock crease. All the information I seem to find on thigh lifts looks to be geared towards the medial and anterior portions - is it possible to do a posterior thigh lift? If so, could the incisions be placed within the buttock crease to make them more concealed or less noticeable?
The problem that you describe is quite common. In my practice, I call it the "Del Mar Butt Tuck". This removes the redundant extra tissue along the bottom of the buttocks via an incision in the crease. The patients are extremely happy with the results, and the incisions heal very nicely.
i had a liopscution in May and planning to do thigh lift as i have saggin in the inner thigh and little sagging from outer thigh. i heard is vertical scar is bad as it's get wide and it's visiable as the horizontal scar which will be in the bikini area so it's not visiable and usually its good scar. so what would you recommend ? and also am planning to do tatto on the scar. so how long i need to wait to get the tatto on the scar ?
There are two types of scars used for a thigh lift. A horizontal scar placed in the groin crease is best for patients who have significant vertical laxity(loose skin which can easily be pulled upward). A vertical incision along the inner aspect of the thigh from groin to knee is best used in you have significant horizontal skin laxity or looseness. The specific incision needs to be tailored to your specific anatomy.
I would add that the scars can migrate or widen from their original position; something patients should be made aware of before their surgery.
I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in this type of body contouring procedure.
Best wishes,
Dr. Bruno

The scar placement is for the inner thigh lift is dictated by the degree and location of the excess skin.
If the skin laxity is minimal and is present in the upper inner thigh than a horizontal incision in the groin crease is the correct placement of the incision.
If the laxity is more dramatic and extends to the mid thigh or knee than there is excess skin which can only be addressed by a vertical incision.
When comparing scars, the groin crease incicion is hidden by garments but requires significant deep tissue support to prevent widening. The vertical scar is not under tension and so is a finer scar.
Visit a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in thigh lifting to hlep you understand which procedure is best for you. Good luck
