Will a Thigh Lift Get Rid of Sagging Skin After Weight Loss?

Without pictures, it is a little difficult to accurately determine exactly what type of inner or medial thigh surgery you need after weight loss. After significant weight loss, many people experience loss of fat in the thighs. Often the thigh skin shrink wraps around this loss of fat. However, sometimes the inner thigh skin does not have enough elastic qualities and accumulates as skin rolls. Sometimes the excess inner thigh skin rolls are limited to the upper third or upper half of the thigh. In such patients, a modified or a limited inner thigh lift maybe needed. This is achieved with an incision from the inner groin to halfway down the inner thigh. Typically, the incision follows the inseam line on a pair of pants or jeans. In other patients, there is excess skin and fat all the way down to the inner knee. In such patients, the medial thigh lift incision may extend from the inner groin to the inner knee.
Please keep everything in perspective. First, you should congratulate yourself on your significant weight loss. This is a great accomplishment and ideally, will extend years to your life. Once you realize this achievement, then you may want to consider reconstructive medial thigh lift plastic surgery. Good luck on your weight loss journey and good luck with your inner medial thigh lift.

Generally, after losing a lot of
weight it can be difficult for the skin to tighten back up again. It has been my
experience that any obvious sagging present before liposuction surgery remains afterward,
and can even get worse. As a result, a thigh lift would probably be better
suited.   

                  It’s
not unusual for patients to develop significant skin sag following massive
weight loss. Excess thigh skin can cause a variety of problems including
difficulties with ambulation, clothing and hygiene.  In some cases skin rashes and ulcerations may occur as a
result of the condition.  In other
cases, excess thigh skin can also adversely impact thigh aesthetics and
negatively impact self-confidence, self-image and self-esteem.  For these reasons it’s not unusual for
massive weight loss patients to seek surgical correction of this problem. 

                  Thigh
lift surgery is designed to remove and tighten excess thigh skin following
massive weight loss.  A variety of
thigh lift options are available for treating saggy thigh skin.  The option chosen is dependent upon the
specific anatomic findings associated with this condition.  In the absence of a physical exam or
pictures it’s virtually impossible to determine which option is best for you.

                  Thigh
lift surgery is associated with high satisfaction rates.  The procedure removes and tightens
excess thigh skin and ultimately results in significant contour improvement of
the thighs.  Unfortunately the
procedure is associated with the potential for severe scarring.

                  It’s
important to understand that this procedure involves a series of
tradeoffs.  For this reason, it’s
important that any patient considering thigh lift surgery consult a board
certified plastic surgeon.  This
surgeon should be able to formulate an appropriate treatment plan and provide
the technical expertise to maximize these tradeoffs. 

Absolutely when a person loses a significant amount of weight it is recommendable to do a lift in the area where the skin is most saggy , in this case I do believe a thigh lift would be recommendable but it would have to be evaluated to see what type of thigh lift is the one you would need , there are different ones , extended , inner , outer or medial a lot factores contribute to the decision. As for you buttocks a thigh lift wouldn't do anything to the buttocks , in that case a butt lift would be the best way to go. But I would definitely recommend to go check with your surgeon to see what he recommends.

Hope this helps

Thighlift is absolutely designed to tighten sagging skin after significant weight loss. The approach to thighlift, particularly the scars involved, depend on the degree of skin laxity or remaining fatty tissue. There are hidden scars that have great results. There are some more remarkable scars that are necessary for more impactful results.
