Dr. Hicham Mouallem Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon

Inner thigh lift

Firms and remodels legs particularly the inner thigh. Often combined with buttock firming and flank remodelling.

It can also be combined with lateral thigh lifting perfoming a “circumferential lifting” extended to entire circumference of the pelvis.

This surgical procedure is indicated for sagging inner thighs due to massive weight loss or aging.

The lifting of the thigh requires incisions which, starting from the groin region reach the inner side of the root of the thighs.

Through this incisions, the skin of the thighs and eventually of the buttocks, is stretched upwards and anchored securely with deep sutures and the excess is removed.

The scars are thin and not much visible and can be easily covered with normal panties.

The circumferential lifting of the thighs results in the scars being extended along the whole pelvis in relation of the line of the girdle of the two hips.

As for the inner thigh lift, both the internal and external skin of the thighs are stretched upwards.

Both these surgical procedured are done in general anesthesia

Require one overnight for inner thigh lift and two overnight for “circumferencial lift” of the thighs.

A girdle must be worn for 4 to 6 weeks.
