Hello Interloper!

The ideal candidate for a thigh lift or thighplasty procedure is an individual with notable skin laxity around the thigh and hip area. This laxity may be a result of poor skin tone related to the normal aging process, multiple pregnancies or significant weight loss.
Liposuction and buttock lift can be performed in conjunction with a thigh lift to further enhance the overall result.
As well as the prolonged recovery time, the long visible scars are a major drawback; however, in skilled hands the results from this operation can dramatically improve the appearance of sagging thighs.
It is very important for you to describe exactly how you envisage the final cosmetic result with an experienced surgeon who also performs liposuction so that they can assess you properly and recommend the most appropriate procedure, or combination of procedures for you.
The longevity of results is difficult to predict, and depend upon maintaining good control over excessive weight fluctuation causing the skin to stretch, following the procedure. Your surgeon will discuss predicted duration of results with you from their own experience and the experience of their colleagues.
