Besides a thigh lift, what is the best option to address loss of elasticity of my inner thigh and the top of my thigh? (Photo)

Hello KARA0422 in Farmington,

Thank you for your question regarding non-invasive treatments to improve the elasticity of your thigh skin. Based on your photos and concerns about the loss of elasticity in your thighs and the desire to avoid surgery, there are a couple of effective non-invasive options that you might consider.

Firstly, J-Plasma, also known as Renuvion, could be a suitable option for you. It's a minimally invasive procedure that uses cold plasma energy to tighten and rejuvenate the skin by promoting collagen production. It can provide a noticeable improvement in skin laxity with less downtime compared to a surgical thigh lift.

Additionally, EMsculpt is a completely non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology to induce powerful muscle contractions. It not only helps in augmenting muscle tissue but also has benefits in tightening the overlying skin. This could be particularly beneficial for your thighs and buttocks, enhancing tone and firmness.

Both treatments offer potential solutions without the need for surgery and could significantly improve the appearance of your thighs and buttocks. However, I recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your specific needs and recommend the best treatment plan for your goals.

Good luck, and thank you for considering your options with care. I hope I've provided useful insights into your query regarding enhancing thigh skin elasticity.

Sincerely,

J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS

Dear Kara0422,
As I look at your buttock, I see a little droop. I wonder what your abdomen looks like and question whether you might be a good candidate for a lower body lift. This would lift up your inner thigh laxity and upper thigh laxity, without the scar from a medial thighplasty.
If you could provide some extra pictures, I might be able to say with more certainty.
I would encourage you to seek out a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation to help you answer this question.
Best to you as you move forward.
