Would I need to have a thigh lift for good results or would liposuction with J-plasma be enough? (Photo)

Question

Twice ive lost 6 stone and have now been left with thick thighs and 1 baggy leg. I was hoping for a thigh lift but ive just had a tummy tuck and it nearly killed me so im really scared to have surgery again. Do i definately need surgery or would liposuction and J-plasma alone be enough please? Or if theres something i can do at home. With it coming into summer my inner thighs rub and cause rashes, bleeding and so much pain. Thankyou

Dear Leannehay40,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question! The inner thigh area can be a bit challenging because the skin is thinner and doesn’t always tighten as well as in other areas.

The good news is that your skin quality looks very good, with minimal looseness, which makes you a strong candidate for liposuction combined with a skin-tightening treatment. Options like J-Plasma or radiofrequency devices (such as Quantum) can help improve skin contraction and overall contour. You may still notice a small amount of looseness when pinching the skin, but when standing, you should see a significant improvement in contour and less inner thigh rubbing.

This approach can give you great results without needing a more invasive thigh lift surgery.
