Posterior Thigh Lift After Liposuction?

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?

Del Mar Butt Tuck

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.

Posterior thigh

The diresanswer is YES a posterior thigh lift is possible, the scar would be in the inferior gluteal crease. HOW EVER SINCE YOUR PROBLEMS ARE AFTER LIPOSUCTION , I WOULD RECOMMEND A BETTER ANALYSIS, THE PROBLEM COULD BE TAKING TOO MUCH FAT FROM THE POSTERIOR THIGH WHICH GIVES MULTIPLE FOLDS OF THE SKIN, AND THE APPEARANCE OF A DROOPY BUTTOCK. The appropriate treatment then is fat transfer to the posterior thigh. TThe posterior thigh fat supports the buttocks. more
