What Is a Thigh Lift?
Losing weight is an impressive victory for any individual. In some cases, women and men who reach their goal weight occasionally require one more step to finalize their body transformation. Depending on the amount of time you were overweight and how much weight you lost, sagging skin can be a separate difficulty if the skin is not able to adapt to the smaller shape and size of your body. The thighs are specifically an area of trouble for most people. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ross Bunch offers thigh lift surgery (also known as thighplasty) at Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa to remove excess skin on the inner and outer thighs to produce a tighter, more contoured look. This surgery has increased in popularity because it offers natural-looking results for anyone who doesn't want hanging skin on the thighs. For more information on thigh lift surgery in Tuscaloosa, AL, contact our office to schedule a consultation with Dr. Bunch.
How Is a Thigh Lift Performed?
There are three different types of procedures we may perform — a medial thigh lift and a lateral thigh lift. This depends on factors such as your medical history, your specific needs and goals, and your body shape. Either way, general anesthesia will be used.
- Medial thigh lift: A medial thigh lift targets excess skin and fatty tissue on the inner thigh. Incisions are typically made in the groin area and may extend down the inner thigh if there is a significant amount of loose skin to be removed.
- Crescent Thigh Lift: A crescent thigh lift is a less invasive option designed for patients with mild skin laxity concentrated in the upper inner thigh area. Using a smaller incision placed near the groin crease, this technique provides subtle lifting and tightening with less extensive scarring, making it a great option for targeted improvement.
- Vertical Thigh Lift: A vertical thigh lift is recommended for patients with more significant excess skin, particularly after major weight loss. This technique uses a longer incision along the inner thigh to remove larger amounts of loose skin and improve overall contour, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more sculpted thigh appearance.

Thigh Lift Reviews
I haven’t had surgery yet I am scheduled in 4 weeks for a mini thigh lift, breast augmentation and possible a brachialplasty. But the whole process from the consult, consistent communication with the office and even another consult to confirm my procedures the process has been pretty awesome. The staff has been amazing in answering my questions. I am looking forward to these surgeries that I have wanted for a few years now.
