Does the lower body lift also include the inner thigh area?
Answer: 360 circumferential body lift belt lipectomy lower body lift massive weight loss medial thigh lift inner thigh lift spiral thigh Hi GGonzales0000, Thank you for your question whether a lower body lift includes the inner thigh area. The 360 circumferential lower body lift removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, hips, and buttocks. The 360 circumferential lower body lift pulls the abdomen down. As the circumferential lower body lift incision goes over the hips, the outer hips are pulled up. Posteriorly, the body lift pulls the buttock up. The 360 circumferential lower body lift does not pull the inner thigh up. The lower body lift does not include the inner thigh lift. The inner thigh lift is a separate procedure called the inner thigh lift, medial thigh lift, leg lift, longitudinal medial thigh lift, J-lift, or spiral thigh lift. Please seek a board-certified plastic surgeon who is an expert in performing the 360 circumferential lower body lift. Travel if you need to. I hope I have answered your question regarding whether a lower body lift includes the inner thigh lift. If you have any more questions regarding the lower body lift or the inner thigh lift, please contact my office. Sincerely Dr. Katzen.

Answer: Lower Body Lift Generally the thighs are assessed separately. If there is redundant skin in the medial thigh area a medial thigh lift would be added to the procedure.

Answer: Medial Thigh Skin Sag It's not unusual for massive weight loss patients to develop loose skin. Redundant saggy skin can affect the abdomen, back, arms, inner thigh and outer thigh. When this situation arises, a multitude of surgical procedures are available to treat this loose skin.The lower body lift can remove excess back and abdominal skin. It simultaneously lifts the buttocks and lateral thighs. It's associated with excellent clinical results and high levels of patient satisfaction. Unfortunately, this procedure would have very little impact upon the medial thighs.Correction of this problem would most likely require a medial thigh lift. Several medial thigh lift options are available to treat this problem. The choice will depend upon the patient's anatomic findings and aesthetic goals.If you're concerned about massive weight loss surgery, it's important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this area. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.

Answer: Generally medial thigh is separate from the body lift
Body lift means different things to different people. I think of body lift being the same as a circumferential abdominoplasty where the scar goes all the way around the lower trunk. The areas that benefit the most are the abdomen, LATERAL thighs, droopy buttocks and back/ side rolls. Because of the way our skin is tethered to our muscles and bones there is little tightening of the medial thigh with a body lift alone. A procedure to tighten the medial thigh is performed at a different stage, usually several months after a body lift.

Answer: Lower Body Lifting
Thank you for your question.
Lower Body Lift can mean different things to different people but generally, it includes the tummy, back, buttocks and lateral thighs. Normally, the medial thighs would be a different procedure. These are large procedures with long recovery periods and so discuss with your surgeon as to the best way to proceed for your specific case.
Best wishes.
