Thigh lift helps part of the thigh.

John Philip Di Saia, MD answers: Will a thigh lift get rid of sagging skin left after weight loss?

I lost a lot of weight about a year ago, and I am still at my ideal weight but my skin hasn't "bounced back" since I lost the weight.  The worst area is in my thigh and buttock region.  Will a thigh lift work to get rid of saggy skin leftover from when I was bigger?

Hello,

Congratulations on the weight loss Gwen!

There are a number of body lift operations geared for tightening soft tissue after weight loss. Thigh lift improvements generally concentrate on the inner part of the thigh. A lower body lift (buttock lift) works around the backside. You really need to be examined and have a discussion with your surgeon to figure which procedure(s) may work best for that which bothers you.
