Thigh lift surgery, or thighplasty, is a process of decreasing the fat below the skin and then removing the excess skin to improve the contour and shape of the upper leg and thigh. Several incisions can be used, but usually the scar is hidden in the groove below the buttocks and inner thigh, and shapes the entire thigh. If there is a massive amount of skin and fat to be removed, the incision may need to extend down the inner thigh to allow for removal of all excess tissue, creating a very impressive transformation. Dr. Makipour will discuss the benefits of each approach, and make recommendations based individual circumstances and goals.
