Hi! I'm a 5'4" 52 year old female who lost 35 pounds this year and now weighing 110 lbs . One of my thighs I had lipo on in 2018 now looks like the face of a sharpei :( My glutes too. (I didn't have lipo on my glutes). Do I need a thigh lift or mix of other procedures (like Bodytite + microneedling + sculptra)? I am not looking for perfect and just want "not as obvious so I don't have to wear shorts at the beach" Thank you! :)

Answer: Treatment options In this kind of body shape deformities, surgery is the best and most reliable option but it comes with one caveat which is scar.So if you are okay with scars then you should go with buttock lifting or you can ask your surgeon to place the scar down where your buttock fold is and get rid of the excess skin. Either way you will have a scar, you need to choose which you prefer.For the inner thighs a fat grafting procedure could work but you do not seem to have enough fat. Maybe a gentle liposuction from just the front parts of the thighs can be enough to fill those dents. If you would like to improve the skin quality as well, then you should choose micro needling as well but that will not affect the dents.

Answer: Thigh Lift Thank you for posting your question here!I will base my answer on the limited data and pictures provided, for a detailed and personalized plan I would recommend that you consult with a plastic surgeon.First of all congratulations on your weight loss!, you do seem to have a lot of skin laxity, a surgical intervention will likely give you the best result ( thigh lift , infragluteal buttock tuck ...etc) , you will be trading the laxity for a scar . That being said , if you are completely agains having the scars and wish to experiment with minimally invasive options first , you won't be burning any bridges so you can proceed with that knowing that you won't have complete resolution of your issue but might notice some improvement. If that is the case I would recommend either renuvion or bodytite.I hope this helps, best of luck!
