• Inner Medial Thigh Lift: Targets sagging skin between the legs
• Lateral Outer Thigh Lift: Removes excess skin from outer thigh areas
• Posterior Spiral Thigh Lift: Focuses on tightening skin at the back of the thighs

Candidates for thigh lift surgery typically include individuals who:

• Are near their goal weight
• Have maintained stable, healthy lifestyle habits
• Experience significant skin laxity in the thigh region
• Have completed substantial weight loss (50-100 lbs)

During a thigh lift, Dr. Markmann will carefully make strategic incisions, remove excess skin and fat, and recontour the thigh area to create a smoother, more defined appearance. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires careful post-operative care.
