The primary goal of a thigh lift is to help mold or re-shape the thighs so they are more in proportion with your legs, buttocks and abdomen. The procedure will help the front of the thighs look smoother, the inner thigh will be firm and flat and the muscles in thigh area will be more highlighted as well as a distinct fold that separates the thigh and the buttock. Thigh lift surgery is additionally beneficial for someone who has lost a lot of excess weight, either through weight loss surgery or diet and exercise. When you lose a large amount of weight, there is typically excess skin, especially in the thigh area.
