A lateral thigh lift can help even out the contour of the lateral thigh.  It involves an incision from the inguinal region across the hip to the buttocks on either side.  It is typically combined with excision of skin medially for best results.

Hello !

An outer thigh lift can help with the excess lax skin on the outer thighs after liposuction. However, the exact placement of the incisions will depend on the extent of the correction needed and the specific technique used by your surgeon.

It is possible to have incisions in the groin or hip area for an outer thigh lift, but this will depend on the extent of the correction needed and the technique used by your surgeon. It's important to discuss your concerns and expectations with your surgeon during your consultation so they can develop a personalized treatment plan for you.

Regarding the lumpy and uneven appearance, an outer thigh lift may improve the appearance, but it may not completely eliminate all lumps and unevenness. You may need additional procedures such as fat grafting or further liposuction to achieve a smoother contour.

BodyTite or Collagen induction therapy (needling) can also help tremendously in this case.

Again, this will depend on your individual situation, and your surgeon will be able to advise you on the best course of action during your consultation.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
