What's the difference in a circumferential thigh lift and medial thigh lift?

Question

Vivek Bansal, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. A medial thigh lift only focuses on the inner aspect of the thigh.  The circumferential lift focuses on the entire circle of the thigh, 360 degrees, not a part of the thigh.  See a good Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for this procedure.  You really need an expert for this. I hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for your question. I specialize in post massive weight loss body and the procedure most resembling a circumferential thigh lift would be a spiral thigh lift. This often times is performed at the same time a a lower body lift. It is for patients with skin laxity in the upper third of the inside and outside of the leg. There is no scar, nor does it help along the lower two thirds of the inside of the leg, which is what a medial thigh lift is. The medial thigh lift can go as low or as far as the ankle, is often done with an oblique groin incision. It also can be combined with a spiral thigh lift when the anatomy dictates as such.Peter Fisher M.D.
