Inthe vast majority of patients medial thigh lift surgery will not significantlyimpact the posterior thigh. When amedial thigh lift is performed utilizing a transverse groin incision theposterior thigh skin is unaffected. When the incision is extended down the inner aspect of the thigh towardsthe knee, the posterior thigh may occasionally be affected. This is entirely dependent upon theangle and direction of the skin pull. Under these circumstances transverse tightening may occur but the skinwill remain loose in the vertical dimension. Significant posterior thigh alterations require moreaggressive surgical procedures that specifically target the posterior thighregion. Inyour case, it’s virtually impossible to make a specific recommendationregarding the impact of medical thigh lift surgery on your thigh contourwithout a physical examination or pictures. Under these circumstances it’s important to consult a boardcertified plastic surgeon who can perform a comprehensiveevaluation and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Thank you for your question regarding whether a medial thigh lift can tighten the backs of the thighs. The answer is yes, a medial thigh lift, thigh reduction, or thighplasty does tighten the back of your thighs. A medial thigh lift is done under general anesthesia. During a medial thigh lift, inner thigh liposuction is performed. Also, an incision is made from the groin to the knee. A large elliptical area of skin and fat is removed from the inner thigh during this dissection. Pulling the inner thigh together pulls from the front and back of the thigh. This pulling tightens the back of the thigh. Therefore, if your thighs bother you, I suggest a thigh lift. Thank you for your question regarding whether a thigh lift tightens the back of the thighs.
A medial thigh lift that involves a horizontal and a vertical incision can tighten the medial thigh as well the some of the posterior area. What needs to be evaluated is to see if you need a body lift with elevation of the gluteal area as well as the lateral thighs.Hope that helps.
It depends on the technique and incisions used. A crescent shaped excision is not likely to produce significant tightening in the posterior thighs. However a longitudinal incision is more likely to provide overall better correction albeit with a longer more visible scar.
A medial thigh lift (excision in the bikini area) will not tighten posterior thigh skin. A thigh reduction ( vertical scar) can thighten posterior thigh skin. However the scar is long and wide and is visible.
