Thigh Lift Surgery

Alternatives to Thigh Lift Surgery

In some cases, liposuction can be used as an alternative to thigh lift surgery. This is the case when the problem is not one of loose skin but instead one of extra fatty tissue in the thighs. If the issue is one of extra fatty tissue and skin tone is good, liposuction may be an excellent approach to contouring the thighs while leaving only minimal scars. Liposuction of the thighs requires only very small incisions and has a faster recovery. It is important for patients to understand that most individuals are a good candidate for either liposuction of the thighs or thigh lift surgery but not both. Extremely minor cases of loose skin on the thighs may be treatable by means of non-surgical techniques including laser skin tightening procedures.
