Thigh lift helps part of the thigh.

John Philip Di Saia, MD answers: Will a thigh lift get rid of sagging skin 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.

A: Two types of thigh lift

A thigh lift will take care of the excess skin and fat in this area. Two types could be performed with different incisions. One horizontal in the groin and the second one along the inner aspect of the thigh. Hope that helps!
