Medial Thigh Lift

Laxity of skin of the inner thigh can occur with or without fat deposits. This problem is best treated with a Medial Thigh Lift. This operation entails removing an eliptical wedge of skin along the thigh/groin crease and can be done with liposuction of the inner thigh if fat deposits in this region contribute to the problem. This procedure can be performed without the need for an overnight hospital stay.

About Medial Thigh Lift

A medial thigh lift reduces excess skin and fat on the upper portion of the inner thigh. It is especially designed for patients who are not satisfied with the shape of their legs or who would like to remove excess skin after weight loss. During a medial thigh lift procedure, an incision is made in the groin that goes to the back of the crease of the buttocks. The skin is then lifted, and the excess skin and fat are removed to tighten up the skin and improve the shape of the thigh. If you feel a medial thigh lift is right for you, Dr. Goldstein will discuss with you your goals for treatment and determine if you are a candidate for this or any other thigh lift procedure.

Medial Thigh Lift Candidates

The inner thigh lift, or medial thigh lift, is most commonly performed in patients that have lost a large amount of weight; therefore those who have recently undergone a dramatic weight loss are the best candidates. In the case of weight loss, there is excess and hanging skin at the front and inner part of the thighs. This excess skin is often found from the groin down to the knee. With the medial thigh lift, the excess skin is removed and the tissues are repositioned and lifted. In most patients who have a significant amount of extra skin at the inner thighs, the best treatment involves the removal of tissue on the inner thigh. If you have recently lost weight and are unhappy with the look of your inner thigh, you would be a great candidate for medial thigh lift.
