A thigh lift procedure is designed for reshaping the thighs and focuses on reducing excess fat and skin. The result is an improvement in lower body and thigh contours/proportions and smoother looking skin.
Types of Thigh Lifts
An initial consultation with Dr. Minniti will include a detailed physical examination and evaluation of medical history. This will help in determining which type of thigh lift would be suitable for the specific patient. There are basically three options- a medial thigh lift, a lateral thigh lift, or a combination of the two.
In a medial thigh lift, the surgeon will make incisions in your groin area. If you need a substantial amount of excess skin removal, then a longitudinal slit might be considered along your inner thigh. In this type of thigh lift, the surgeon will remove a portion of your inner thigh skin.
