Sagging, especially on the inner part between the hip and knee, disrupts the aesthetic appearance. The most common causes of this sagging on the inner thigh are weight fluctuations and gravity. When you gain weight, fat accumulation in the inner thigh area will increase, and consequently, the skin will expand.
The treatment involves removing the excess.Liposuction may be sufficient up to a certain level. However, if the skin has expanded beyond a certain point, treatment with liposuction alone is not possible. This is because after removing the fat under the skin in this area, the skin won’t retract beyond a certain level. In this case, the excess in the inner thigh is removed as skin+fat, resulting in a tighter thigh. The most frequently asked question about thigh lift surgery is whether there will be a scar… Unfortunately, yes, no matter what you do, there will be some scarring. The decision here is yours to make. If your sagging is minimal, the scar can be hidden in the groin area, but if it’s more advanced, there will be some scarring on the inner thigh that will fade over time but not completely disappear.
The surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia. It takes an average of 1-2 hours, and you can be discharged on the same day after the surgery. You can return to your social life after 2 days and engage in all types of sporting activities after 3 weeks.
