I am a 47 year old female. I lost over 100lb and am 20 lbs away from my goal weight! I need a lower body lift. I would like a Brazilian but lift. My biggest concern is my thighs. They are horrible and I do not like the long inner soar that is the result of some thigh lifts. I live in Florida and want to wear shorts. I really like the results of the spiral thigh lifts. Any suggestions would help. Willing to travel

Answer: Can the long inner thigh scar be avoided in a thigh lift? In your case, the amount of horizontal skin looseness, as well as vertical skin laxity, must be assessed to answer this question. From your photos, it would appear that you do have significant looseness of your inner thigh skin from side to side. This, then, would require the long inner thigh incision and attendant scar. You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in post massive weight loss body contouring procedures for an in person evaluation and examination to more definitively answer your question. Hope this assists you in your next step of decision making!

Answer: Thigh lift Hello and thank you for your question. Congratulations on your weight loss. I specialize in post massive weight loss body contouring. 80 % of my practice is dedicated to post massive weight loss body contouring. I perform both the spiral and longitudinal thigh lift procedures often doing both together. When a lower body lift is done and when done correctly, a strong outside thigh lift is obtained with a very small inner upper thigh lift. Even with this I am sorry but to obtain a superior result a longitudinal thigh incision will be needed. If a spiral thigh lift is done by itself you will have,a discrepancy between the upper thighs which will look good and the lower thighs which will remain loose and wrinkled.Peter Fisher M.D.
