I had bodytite lipo to inner thighs 13 years ago and my inner thighs really bother me, there are some dents ( which probably can’t be fixed due to skin quality and location) with fat transfer but would a groin incision thigh lift help improve the area and warrant scars? Will scars drop if skin quality is compromised?

Answer: Saggy thighs The saggy skin on limbs is always excess of width and never excess of length. Groin incisions is with purpose of cutting excess of length and groin incisions only let a lot of issues like labia spreading, migration of the labia skin towards the thigh, losing the natural groin fold which cause underwear being all inside the labia minora. Painful intercourse. All above irreparable issues. So the correct procedure to fix the thigh saggy skin is a vertical incision over the inner thigh to remove excess of width. It will be a tough recovery but at the end, worth it. If you get more lipo and tightening procedures you will become worst. Be encouraged!! Dr. Cárdenas

Answer: Crescents are rarely useful Crescents are yummy to eat, but they rarely do good with regards to surgical procedures like breast, arm, or thigh lifts. The problem is that, in the cases of the arm and thigh, they tighten parallel to the axis of the limb, but the laxity is actually mostly perpendicular (circumferentially around the limb). This is evident with the pic you posted of yourself doing a 'fire hydrant' post; you can see your skin is doubling over on itself in the circumferential orientation. Worse, as you pointed out, overzealous skin resection with a crescent thigh lift produces scar drift, and worse, labial traction. A common malpractice lawsuit involves this issue. Either do the right thing, or don't do anything surgically or non-surgically. The right thing to do is have a formal thigh lift with it's axially oriented J-shaped scar that travels along the inner thigh.
