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.
Significant weight loss most commonly results in loose excess skin from around the chest, abdomen, back, thighs and buttocks. There can be difficulty in maintaining hygiene underneath these skin folds, resulting in itching, rashes, and even infection. Despite the weight loss, there can be difficulty in fitting into the right clothes and affect your self-confidence.

I was incredibly nervous about travelling abroad for plastic surgery (Mommy Makeover), did countless hours of research, and reached out to many surgeons before . I came across Dr. Sudhanva while searching for top plastic surgeons in India for cosmetic surgery. Dr.Sudhanva and his team were prompt in replying to my emails, and my virtual consultation with him helped me choose him for my surgery. He patiently answered all my questions and put me at ease. On meeting him in person, I knew I had made the right decision and could feel I am in good hands. I underwent a tummy tuck, breast lift with augmentation, and thigh liposuction. The level of care I received exceeded my expectations, and I had a smooth recovery. The result is better than I expected, and I love the way I look. I would recommend him to anyone looking for cosmetic surgery in India.

I underwent surgery for Man Boobs from him. He explained the procedure and post-operative care in great detail and answered all my questions. The surgery went smoothly exactly as he had mentioned. It’s been about 4 months since my surgery, and I feel great. I feel confident in my skin when I am shirtless. I would highly recommend him.

I had a great experience with Dr. Sudhanva Kumar. I was very scared about getting a nose job. Dr. Sudhanva addressed all my fears regarding the surgery and thanks to him I felt confident about taking this big step. Now I can breathe more freely, and the result is exactly as I wanted it to be. I wish I had met him sooner and taken this decision much earlier in my life.
