Can a tummy tuck also tighten the skin on the upper front thigh?

December 9, 2013
Asked By:RMW76 in Chattanooga TN

I am planning on having a tummy tuck. I also have laxity in the upper inner thigh. I would like to avoid an inner thigh lift. When suturing the tummy tuck incision, will the skin below the incision be lifted? Will the mons pubis and labia be lifted? If so, How much of the skin is typically lifted to meet the incision mark...for example, 1-2 inches or more?
