Thigh (Leg) Lift

    1.    What is thigh lift surgery?
A thigh lift is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the thigh area, creating a firmer, smoother, and more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
    2.    Who is a good candidate for a thigh lift?
Individuals with loose or sagging thigh skin due to weight loss or aging, who are in good health, are ideal candidates.

An incision is made on the inner thigh or groin, excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened.
