Thigh Lipo Before a Thigh Lift? (photo)

Generally, after losing a lot of
weight it can be difficult for the skin to tighten back up again. Liposuction
may remove any stubborn fat deposits in your thighs, however it has been my
experience that any obvious sagging present before surgery remains afterward,
and can even get worse. As a result, a thigh lift would probably be better
suited. I wouldn't recommend getting liposuction then having a thigh lift afterward. You will have more scarring that what would result from liposuction alone, and the extent of it depends on the technique applied during your surgery. 

From your photos it is apparent your problem is mostly extra skin. I failed to see how a liposuction staged at a separate earlier surgery is necessary or helpful. Most surgeons do not do it that way. The size of the incision and subsequent scar is dependent on the amount of extra skin removed and the pattern of skin removal not the amount of fat under the skin.
