Especially those who lose excessive weight after stomach reduction surgery need this surgery when they reach their ideal weight. In addition, arm lift, 360 tummy tuck and breast aesthetic surgeries are also needed. All these body shaping surgeries are performed in a planned order.
Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The incision is made along the natural crease line on the inner thigh. This makes the scars less noticeable. Then, excess thigh skin is removed and the thigh area is stretched and tightened. In this way, the thigh area gains a tighter and more aesthetic appearance. Liposuction can also be added to the thigh lift surgery if necessary.
