Hello, MAZ ER in London. Thank you for your question regarding non-surgical options for tightening inner thighs.

After reviewing your history and pictures, it's essential to consider the limitations and outcomes of non-surgical treatments like VASER liposuction and J-Plasma for your specific case. Given the current condition of your inner thighs, which includes loose skin and stretch marks, these treatments are unlikely to provide significant improvement. In fact, they might exacerbate the laxity and appearance of the skin.

VASER and J-Plasma are typically effective in cases where the skin has better elasticity and the main concern is minor fat reduction and subtle skin tightening. However, your photos indicate that your skin may not sufficiently retract even after such treatments. This could lead to further dissatisfaction with the results.

A thigh lift, despite concerns about scarring, remains the most effective way to achieve dramatic and lasting improvement in cases like yours. The incisions for a thigh lift, particularly with a groin incision (Crescent thigh lift), can be strategically placed to be less visible, and many patients find that the aesthetic benefits of the surgery far outweigh the visibility of scars.

If you are strongly against a full thigh lift due to concerns about scarring, I would recommend a detailed consultation with a plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring to discuss all possible options and to view before-and-after photos of similar cases. This can provide a clearer expectation of surgical outcomes and scar management.

As for combining the procedure with a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), while a BBL can enhance the contour of your buttocks, it does not typically provide a significant lift to the thighs.

Thank you for considering your options carefully, and good luck with your decision. I hope this information helps clarify your choices regarding thigh tightening procedures.

Sincerely,

J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS

Hello, I'm not familiar with J-plasma, but I am familiar with Bodytite, VASER, and Microaire.When paired with skin resection, all of these procedures enhance the affected region by 80-90%.
