Can I have a spiral thigh lift without long incision going down my leg?

Congrats on your awesome weight loss. Many patients with that amount of weight loss would benefit from a lower body lift. This procedure will correct your outer thighs. A spiral thigh lift will help the inner thighs. in the upper 1/3 of your inner thigh. If you have looseness down to your knees, then a vertical component will be needed. A spiral lift alone will not correct both inner and outer thighs. Remember, these procedures are a trade off between skin and scar. You can have a shorter scar, but this means less skin to be removed. Unfortunately liposuction will not improve cellulite. The tightening of the skin, however, will make it less noticeable. 

A spiral thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to address sagging skin and excess fat in the thigh area, typically following significant weight loss or due to natural aging. It involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the inner and outer thighs to create a more contoured and youthful appearance.The traditional spiral thigh lift does involve incisions, but the extent and location of these incisions can vary depending on the specific needs of the patient. The most common approach is to make incisions along the groin crease and extend them down the inner thigh to the knee or below, creating an "S" or spiral-shaped incision. This allows the surgeon to remove excess skin and fat from both the inner and outer thighs.However, if you are concerned about having long incisions down your leg, you should consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring procedures. They may be able to offer alternative techniques or modifications to the traditional spiral thigh lift to achieve your desired results with shorter or more discreet incisions. These techniques may include:1.) Mini-Thigh Lift: This procedure involves smaller incisions and is suitable for patients with less severe skin laxity and excess fat.2.) Vertical Thigh Lift: In some cases, a vertical incision is made on the inner thigh, avoiding the need for a long incision down the leg. This approach is best suited for addressing excess skin on the upper inner thigh.3.) Liposuction: Liposuction alone can be used to remove excess fat from the thighs without extensive skin removal. While it won't address sagging skin, it can provide some improvement in thigh contour.4.) Combination Procedures: Your surgeon may recommend combining a thigh lift with other body contouring procedures, such as a lower body lift or buttock lift, to achieve your desired results while minimizing the appearance of long incisions.It's essential to have a thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your specific concerns and goals. They can assess your anatomy and recommend the most appropriate surgical approach for you, taking into account factors such as the amount of excess skin and fat, your skin elasticity, and your overall health. Keep in mind that while shorter incisions may be possible, they may also come with limitations in terms of the extent of improvement that can be achieved.

From description provided by y,ou spiral thigh lift will only give you partial correction. Liposuction does not cure cellulite. You will need a spiral thigh lift, plus a vertical thigh lift to correct your thigh issues.
