Thigh and Buttock Lift

This is a delicate and often unsatisfactory area of aesthetic surgery. The operation is requested by women over 50, and usually the patients expect too much. In horizontal and inguinal tightening of the thigh, the traction component is often so high that it later results in an unsightly scar, and after only a few months the inner side of the thigh develops creases. In the case of skin that has significant cellulite and slackness of the thighs as far as the knee area, it may be possible to carry out tightening in a vertical direction in a similar way to upper arm tightening, and this can be discussed with the patient. It should be made clear to the patient, however, that this may produce an unsightly scar.
