Yes it can
Tink in 3 dimensions!
A thigh lift to some degree will affect the vertical, horizontal dimensions, as well as the "thickness" of the thigh. Depending on what exactly your physica findings and goals are, will determine the type of lift that is required. Many times, all that is needed is an incision placed in the groin-leg crease. If there is a lot of excess skin & fat, as well as loose supporting structures, then a vertical "inseam" incision will be needed. ...

Medial thigh and posterior thigh
Medial, lateral and buttock lifts WILL NOT affect the posterior thigh.
To address your areas of concern you need to have a full evaluation of the problem areas, the quality of skin, and the severity of the problem. Then a plan can be discussed with you to try to achieve the best results possible that suite you.

Medial Thigh Lift
The medial thigh lift really is just what it is billed as, it lifts the medial thighs. Elevation of the posterior thighs is really done through a buttock lift. I have found that the buttock lift results in a flat buttock with minimal posterior thigh lift.
So if you want your medial thighs corrected then get a medial thigh lift. If you want a posterior thigh lift go for a buttock lift and expect a minor posterior thigh correction. Liposuction is probably better.

Medial thigh lift can tighten backs of thighs a little
Hello,
The maximal tightening for a medial thigh lift occurs in the inner thighs but a bit in the back can be achieved. How this would do for you really depends upon what you are trying to accomplish. Sometimes procedures can be combined to give more tightening elsewhere.

Medial (inner) thigh lift
It depends on the technique and incisions used. A crescent shaped excision is not likely to produce significant tightening in the posterior thighs. However a longitudinal incision is more likely to provide overall better correction albeit with a longer more visible scar.

Does Medial Thigh LIft also tighten the posterior thigh
A medial thigh lift (excision in the bikini area) will not tighten posterior thigh skin. A thigh reduction ( vertical scar) can thighten posterior thigh skin. However the scar is long and wide and is visible.

Thighlift and Effect
A medial thigh lift that involves a horizontal and a vertical incision can tighten the medial thigh as well the some of the posterior area. What needs to be evaluated is to see if you need a body lift with elevation of the gluteal area as well as the lateral thighs.
Hope that helps.

Medial thigh lift can tighten the backs of thighs
I agree with Dr. Placik. Thigh lifts are divided into Lateral and Medial. The inner or Medial thigh lifts are either a crescent groin incision or a T shaped incision. Only the latter procedure which lifts the inner thigh and decreases the size of the thigh COULD tighten the back of the thigh.
