THIGH LIFTING

Through an incision at the groin crease to the buttock seam, part of the skin on the inside and front of the thigh is removed so that the skin of the thighs tightens on the front and inside.

If incisions are made in the buttock crease or at the loins, skin can also be removed from the back and outside of the thighs in this way, tightening the skin here and eliminating any skin pits such as with "cellulite.

Sometimes this can be combined with a local fat extraction and in some cases a vertical incision on the inner thighs is necessary if the skin is also very flabby in the lower half of the inner thigh.

Ranging from 2 to 3 hours, depending on the extensiveness.
