Aloha! Mahalo and thank you for your question regarding whether it's possible to have an inner thigh lift with the scar underneath the buttock instead of down the middle of the thigh. It is possible to have an inner thigh lift with an incision underneath the buttock instead of the middle of the thigh. However, it depends on the patient, their anatomy, and the area of concern. You do not include pictures and you and I have not performed a physical examination. However, if you have excess skin and fat of the upper inner thigh, an incision in the upper inner thigh always achieves the best result. The upper inner thigh incision can be performed in the groin crease or from the groin partially down the inner thigh. If you have excess skin and fat underneath the buttock or in the back of the upper thigh, then an incision underneath the buttock would be your best option. Basically the placement of the incision depends on where you have the deformity of excess skin and fat. If you inner thigh skin and fat excess, the thigh incision needs to made in the inner thigh. If you have skin and fat excess in the banana roll, the incision needs to be made under the buttock, where the buttock meets the back of the thigh. The performance of the procedure also depends on your plastic surgeons experience and comfort level eliminating those targeted areas. You also asked if “the vaginal tightening procedure” does make a huge difference in the tightness of the vagina. This completely depends on what "vaginal procedure" is being performed. Are you considering laser, radiofrequency, or actual surgical tightening with sutures? In my experience, the BEST vaginal tightening procedure is the one performed with sutures where the posterior and anterior wall of the vagina are reduced, plicated, and sutured together. Without question, this vaginal technique certainly reduces the circumference of the vagina and tightens the vagina. This is the gold standard for vaginal tightening and can lead to a huge difference in the "tightness of vagina." Just ask my patients! I hope that I have answered your question regarding whether it is possible to have an inner thigh lift with the scar underneath the buttock instead of down the middle of the thigh and whether vaginal tightening really works. I specialize in thigh lifts. I hope that I have answered your questions regarding the thigh reduction. If you have any more questions regarding the thigh lift, thigh reduction, vertical thigh lift, medial thigh lift, spiral thigh lift, crescent thigh lift, or thigh lipo, please contact my office. Please seek an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing thigh lifts. Do your research. Make sure your chosen plastic surgeon has performed at least 100 thigh lifts. Make sure they have the before and after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before and after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf. Many Mahalos. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.
