How can I accomplish the slimmest, firmest & smoothest results from lower body lift & thigh reduction?

Thank you for your question regarding what can be done for your lower body. I would suggest combining a 360 circumferential lower body lift with a vertical medial thigh lift. During the vertical media thigh lift, an incision is made from the groin to the knee. Included in the thigh lift will be liposuction. I usually perform these procedures together instead of separating them. Of course, you can separate any procedure; however, it leads to another anesthesia and recovery. In regards to the lower body lift scars, usually, they are perfectly symmetrical after the surgery. However, the scars can migrate due to the stretchiness of your skin. This leads to uneven scars. Based on your pictures, you should be able to expect symmetrical scars. Therefore, I would suggest you undergo a 360 circumferential lower body lift combined with a longitudinal vertical medial thigh lift. These procedures can be combined if you are healthy. Pre-operative medical workup is essential for the procedure to be completed. I think you would get exceptional results. Based on your pictures and history. I do not think your scars will be asymmetric. Thank you for your question regarding what can be done for your lower body.

A lower body lift cannot be performed at the same time as a thigh lift. They have two opposing vectors of force. I would highly recommend seeing a board eligible or board certified plastic surgeon for a physical exam and accurate analysis with safe recommendations for potential surgical options. Best of luck!

Dear caryevans,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
