Leg Lift

A leg lift, also known as a thigh lift, is designed to get rid of the loose, hanging skin in the thigh and butt which tends to remain on a patient’s body following significant weight loss. There are several types of thigh lifts, including inner thigh lifts, bilateral thigh lifts and medial thigh lifts.

Plastic surgery is the surgical specialty dedicated to the reconstruction of facial and body defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns, and disease. Cosmetic surgery is an elective surgical operation and meant to enhance one's appearance, while plastic surgery is necessary and reconstructive in nature.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 8.7 million plastic surgery procedures were performed in 2003. The number of procedures is increasing, with more women getting surgeries than men.

Leg Lift Information

A leg lift is designed to rid the loose, hanging skin in the thigh and buttocks improving overall body contour. This procedure is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for proper diet and exercise. To lift the inner thighs, short incisions are made extending from the back of the thigh/groin crease around to the buttock crease. Thighplasty is frequently combined with abdominoplasty and is sometimes done at the same time.
