Thigh Lift: Q&A

Thighs Lift Surgery or Thighs Smart Liposuction? (photo)
I've lost 150lbs, and it has been two years hitting a plateau. I feel my thighs are heavier than my rest of my body and i guess they are full of fat. I am not sure if it is too much skin or too much fat. But, i feel skin is not lighter than fat for sure. I was thinking about other tech rather than having a vertical scar. I am 27 year old man. Do you think smart lipo or slim lipo or any other thing will help resolve the problem. I am not looking for 100% result, am just aiming for 60% or 70 %

Thigh lift or Lipo
Thanks for the great question, I do laser Lipo and I do thigh lifts , from your pictures a thigh lift is going to give you the results you want , any type of laser Lipo will not give you the results you are seeking, what type of incision would require a good physical exam, good luck!

Medial thigh lift
Based on the pictures posted, any form of liposuction will cause more skin droop. It will make the situation worse.
Grion incisions for medial thigh lift can be hidden but may not give you the tightest skin. Verical scar will show but can tighten the thigh well.
Combining the liposuction of the medial thigh with vertical thigh lift will decrease the bulk and tighten the thigh. Depending on your preferance to the scar, you will have to decide which scar you are willing to live with...
