I would like to get rid of the excess skin on my thighs after Tummy Tuck surgery but considering my age and the cost, is it worth it? I'm happy with my Tummy Tuck all, pretty good but not perfect. I'm assuming, though, with my age that the skin is thinning. If I bump myself, it tears pretty easy without my noticing. I don't have any unrealistic expectations. I just hate the saggy skin on thighs.

Answer: Undergoing a Thigh Lift, Thigh Reduction or Thighplasty in Your 50's Thank you for your question about whether you can lift a thigh in your fifties. This is a question only you can answer. As a plastic surgeon, you can have procedures as long as you are healthy in your fifties. You had mentioned you had undergone a tummy tuck successfully. and this is a good indicator that you are able to tolerate and heal well from the thigh lift, thigh reduction, or thighplasty. Even though your skin tears easily, this does not indicate that you will have complications with your thigh lift. I think I would have the thigh lift done earlier rather than later. As you age, your risks of having complications do increase. However, the increase is minor if you are in good health. I think you will get an excellent result. Thank you for asking about whether you should get a thigh lift in your fifties.

Answer: Thigh lift surgery in your 50's Fifty is a very common age to have aesthetic surgery done. The risks of surgery really depend more on your health than on your chronological age. Best to see a board certified plastic surgeon. Together, you will determine what your goals are, and if they can be accomplished.

Answer: Thigh reduction Depending on the amount of redundant skin on the thigh it can be quite rewarding for the patient. Removing some skin from the upper and medial thigh can make the entire thigh look tighter. The scars can be noticeable but are placed medially and superiorly so as to be less conspicuous. If the excess skin is moderate it can contract with Liposuction- minimally and with Bodytite a new technique of liposuction that causes skin to contract (not yet FDA approved). Some skin tightening can be expected with laser lipo also.
