Significant weight loss, aging or genetics can be a cause for loose, sagging skin with dimpling in the upper thighs. A thigh lift can get rid of excess skin and fat to give more slim and taut thighs.
Flabby thighs often rub against each other and can be a cause of huge discomfort while walking. Abnormal fatty deposition in the thighs cannot be lost easily by exercise. It can prevent you from wearing your favourite dress or make you conscious about these unsightly contours in your beautiful figure. Loose sagging skin of the upper thighs can affect one’s confidence in bed. A thigh lift removes the excess loose skin from the inner aspect groin to knees resulting in slimmer and more taut thighs. Thighs can also be contoured and made slimmer by removing excessive fat by liposuction.
