Outer and Inner Thigh Lift?

Yes it is possible to do an inner and outer thigh lift at the same time. I have done this before on many patients who have a significant amount of both inner and outer excess skin and fat.

In my opinion you are better off doing the outer thigh lift/belt lipectomy first because this tightens the inner thighs a bit. Then when you do the inner thighs it is a lesser procedure than it otherwise would be. Doing them together could result in tension on the medial thigh repair and problems with healing or scarring. Whether or not to do liposuction at the same time would depend on what is being removed and what is being left behind at surgery. That cannot be addressed in this forum... more
