He is moving to another state and is offering to give ne a discounted revision.

Im 34 and their telling me that the scar will fall.

Inner thigh looseness after liposuction

The inner thigh does not respond as well as many other ares with liposuction as its structural support is not the same as the outer thigh. It is surprising that enough fat could be removed in this area for a sufficient buttock augmenation. I doubt that smart lipo, vaser, conventional liposuction could improve this and can make it worse. I also doubt that Thermage would help tighten this to any significant degree. A thigh lift may be the only recourse but the scar may... more

Thigh Skin Tightening

If you have loose and hanging skin, then you need a surgical procedure such as thigh lift. There is no laser or other non-invasive treatment that can achieve this dramatic of skin tightening. If you post pictures, we may be able to give you more specific advice. Good Luck.

Lift away forget the VASER! Lose skin = excision of the lose skin. From MIAMI DR. Darryl j. Blinski

Medial thigh lift for loose medial thigh skin

I do not think that VASER will give you the tightening that you desire. Medial thigh lifts performed by a surgeon familiar with this procedure should give you the tightening of thigh you want. I disagree that the scars for this procedure are not good. With a conservative skin resection, tension can be limited giving you an improved contour. Aggressive resections can result in too much pulling in this region leaving widened scars and potential distortion of the genital region. I recommend... more

Inner Thigh Jiggly! What to do?

Vaser tightens the skin in many places but does not help the inner thigh much. I have done well over 1200 Vaser procedures and am very pleased but again it does not help much with inner thigh. The only solution is a thigh lift but a reasonable alternative is to wait a year or two and see how you look. The thigh lift is a significant surgery with a long (8 inches or more) incision and a longer recovery. The inner thigh is a tough place. good... more

Tough problem.

Inner thigh lifts are associated with a nasty scar. However, this is really the only way to predictable tighten the skin in this area. Only you will know if the issue bothers you enough to make it worth your while to fix. The good news is that only someone who knows you really well will ever see the scar. It is improbable that vaser lipo or any lipo will stimulate enough skin contraction but this again depends on your issue. It is important to understand... more

Revision of Enter Thigh Liposuction?

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, there is no modality of treatment to correct the problem you are experiencing except for medial thigh lifting surgery. As you have heard there are significant downsides to this operation which you must consider carefully. You may decide that it would be best not to undergo any type of treatment. Do not waste your time on modalities that will not work or make things worse. Please make sure you are consulting with well experienced... more

Medial thigh lift is a good option

Like any procedure, a medial thigh lift done poorly can lead to problems, done well it can improve elastotic (loose, jiggly) skin. if the surgeon does not do the procedure with regularity then pay for a good operation minimizing complications.

Thigh lift

Excess skin on the inner thigh can only be addressed by an inner thigh lift. The scar is well hidden.

Inner Thigh Lift Better Than Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

Loose skin in the inner thighs is always better managed by a thigh lift than any form of non-surgical skin tightening. This would be particularly true after the excess skin has been created by a prior liposuction procedure.
