I’ve been diagnosed with stage 1/2 Lipedema and have had the necessary liposuction surgeries. I am now post 2 leg surgeries and one arm surgery. My arms look fantastic, but the skin on my thighs is awful. Bumpy, dented, loose, awful. I’m considering a thigh lift but unfortunately I’ve never seen an “ amazing” result. I’ve seen improvement, but not beautiful results. Is a beautiful, tight result possible? Like a thigh that never had Lipedema?

Answer: Thank you for your question. There are different types of thigh lifts; inner and outer. In addition there are multiple inner thigh lifts. One thigh lift lifts the upper inner thigh skin and the scar is in the groin crease. Another inner thigh lift is aliptical and oriented up and down. This tightens skin more in a horizontal direction. A third inner thigh lift is a combination of the above two. For patients who have moderate skin laxity they may be a candidate for a new and exciting technology called Renuvion/ j plasma. This tightens skin utilizing radio frequency energy. (Please see the Renuvion/j plasma videos on our Osage). Please note that this does not tighten skin as tight as a skin excision but one advantage is no long scars. I recommend you have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. I hope you find this information useful. Please see the enclosed video.
