parts of the thigh. Liposuction can also be necessary to get rid of fat bulges, especially within
the outer region.

An inner thigh lift consists of removing excess skin with fat at the top of the thigh. In order to lift the thigh better, a liposuction of the inside of the thigh is usually performed.
The skin is firmly attached to the inguinal fold, and subcutaneously sutured with absorbable sutures.

Will I have a scar?
Scarring is normal in any surgical procedure. The scars are however not visible if you stand straight. As the time goes by, the scars will fade to a large extent.
