A thigh lift is performed on patients who present with extra
circumferential laxity of the skin of the upper leg. This is very
frequently the case with massive weight loss patients. Also, excess fat
of the thighs can be suctioned and a thigh lift performed later to
improve the contour and create a taut result.

thighs as well as a dramatic reduction in the appearance of
