Medial Thigh Lift

The excess of skin is generally secondary to excessive weight loss, aging and the effects of gravity. Procedures of this nature (depending upon the extent of skin removal and patient's health ) are most commonly performed in a hospital setting utilizing a general anaesthetic.

Since the surgery requires the removal of the excess tissue in a very difficult body access location, patient positioning and intra-operative repositioning often dictates the length of the procedure as well as the need for special padding devices. Patients may need prolonged hospitalization depending once again upon the amount of tissue to be removed and their underlying medical condition. In general the incision for this procedure either involves a horizontal resection situated in the groin crease or alternatively an incision running vertically in the medial thigh region when excessive tissue needs to be removed.

Postoperative recovery may be prolonged and can be associated with numerous risks and potential complications which will be thoroughly reviewed by our qualified surgeon prior to surgical intervention. The comprehensive costs will depend upon the extent of tissue requiring surgical removal.
