I'm going through thigh lift consults and have attached photos of a recent mark up. Deciding between keeping the thigh scar on the inside or if the around the knee is necessary for the inside knee skin/fat. Doing Thigh lift with Lipo. What do you think of this plan of attack? Would you suggest differently if I were your patient? Would it be smart to go for the inside only then revise to the knee scar if necessary after? (Lost 90lbs, 7+ inches off each thigh)

Answer: Thigh lift with VASER liposuction and radiofrequency skin tightening technology Hello and thank you for submitting your photographs. Congratulations on your weight loss! Although a surgical plan is limited without physical examination (to assess your skin and tissue elasticity), I recommend a mid thigh lift (with scar limited to the inside of your thigh and above your knee), combined with VASER (ultrasound) liposuction and energy-based skin tightening using radiofrequency (J-plasma/ Renuvion or Inmode/ Bodytite). The thighlift can remove the poorer quality stretched skin while the addition of energy devices mentioned above encourage the remaining skin to tighten therefore limiting the length of scar required. Additionally, the energy treatment can be repeated at 1 year under freezing if further skin tightening is required/ desired. I would recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon in consultation who has knowledge and access to technologies to enhance surgical results and limit scar length. Best Regards, Dr. Zamani
