A thigh lift is done to remove
excess skin from the thigh and buttock area. This sagging skin is
usually caused by weight loss. Inner thigh lifts are done with incisions
over the inner thigh, hidden in the groin crease. Outer thigh and
buttock lifts are done with incisions extending from the groin around
the back. These are well hidden by bathing suits. Bruising and swelling
can be expected as well as a "tight" feeling in the thighs.
