Thank you for your question regarding whether a beautiful thigh lift would be possible. I'm sorry that you have been diagnosed with lipedema. Based on your history and pictures, I would propose to you that now you have excess thigh skin. Thigh liposuction can do this, especially in patients who have thigh lipedema. The only way to remove excess skin is with a thigh lift or thigh reduction. The majority of my patients think their thighs are “beautiful” after a thigh reduction. However, as they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Some family member and non-lipedema may not consider my patient’s thigh reduction results “beautiful”. I would suggest you review multiple plastic surgeons websites. Look at thigh lifts and thigh reductions in particular. Consult with as many plastic surgeons as you can find, to achieve a consensus. In my opinion, I believe you will get significant improvement with a thigh lift. I hope that I have answered your question regarding achieving beautiful thigh in the presence of lipedema. I specialize in thigh lifts. I hope that I have answered your questions regarding the thigh reduction. If you have any more questions regarding the thigh lift, thigh reduction, vertical thigh lift, medial thigh lift, spiral thigh lift, crescent thigh lift, or thigh lipo, please contact my office. Please seek an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing thigh lifts. Do your research. Make sure your chosen plastic surgeon has performed at least 100 thigh lifts. Make sure they have the before and after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before and after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.
