I have lost lbs 67 lbs i am 31 years old and my legs are very strong but there is a pocket of fat in my inner thighs which is making it harder for me to run should i get the procedure or wait since i am losing more weight
Answer: Thigh lift or liposuction Thank you for your question! This is an instance where a consultation would be necessary to determine the details of your treatment plan. Here is some information about what a surgeon may look for during your consultation: Since you are looking to address a pocket of fat, liposuction alone may do the trick. However, this would be dependent on your skin laxity. If the skin is not elastic enough, it may not conform to the contour of the area. This is an instance where a thigh lift would be beneficial in removing that excess skin after liposuction. Your surgeon will be able to map out an individualized treatment plan based on your skin laxity, individual anatomy, and overall goals.

CONTACT NOW Answer: A Thigh Lift, Thigh Reduction or Thigh Plasty After Losing Weight Thank you for your question about telling if you need a thigh lift, in regards to your particular situation. I would suggest you lose as much weight as you possibly can. If you plan on losing more weight, lose the weight, and then once the weight has stabilized then, consider thigh surgery; it is possible that when you have reached your weight loss goal, the areas of excess fat on your thighs will be gone. If your inner thigh's excess skin and fat are still there once you reach your weight loss goal, you may consider a thighplasty. Depending on the condition of your inner thigh, this may require thigh liposuction or incision of excess thigh skin and fat if you need an excision of excess thigh skin and fat. This will require a crescent or mini thigh lift, thigh reduction, or thighpalsty. If it is more extreme, you may need an incision from the groin or half way to the knee,. This is called a modified thigh lift or a full thigh plasty, respectfully. I would lose the weight and wait for your weight to stabilize. Once you are at a stable weight that you are comfortable with, then, I would reevaluate the thighs. I hope this helps to answer your question regarding how to tell if you need a thigh lift.

Answer: The Treatment Of Excess Medial Thigh Skin It's not unusual for massive weight loss patients to develop significant amounts of loose saggy skin. This can effect almost any area of the body, including the medial thighs. When this situation arises, a variety of treatment options are available to manage this problem.Procedures that treat excess medial thigh skin are tailored to meet the patient's specific needs. Without a physical examination and pictures, it's impossible to know which treatment option is best for you.In general terms, the majority of patients with loose saggy thigh skin following massive weight loss require a medial thigh lift. This procedure utilizes an incision along the groin crease which is extended along the inner thigh towards the knee. This procedure removes excess skin in both the transverse and vertical dimension and dramatically improves thigh contour. It's associated with excellent clinical results and high levels of patient satisfaction. This procedure typically takes 2 to 3 hours and patients are fully recovered in 7 to 8 weeks.If you're considering massive weight loss surgery on your thighs, it's important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this area. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.

Answer: Thigh Lift More Suitable Congratulations on your weight loss! If you've reached your ideal stable weight then you can consider having a thigh lift. It has been my experience that patients who have experienced major weight loss are left with sagging skin in the thighs, and this skin tends to remain if only liposuction is performed, or it can even get worse. As a result, a thigh lift would probably be better suited.
