Am I a good candidate for excisional thigh lipectomy?

You may be a good candidate for excisional thigh lipectomy (inner thigh lift) if you have one or more of the following conditions:

- excess or sagging inner and upper thigh skin

- an inner thigh that protrudes and is out of proportion to the rest of your body

- inner thighs that have been separated and weakened by age, weight loss or gain or pregnancy

- excess fatty tissue that is concentrated in your inner and upper thigh skin

If you plan to become pregnant or lose weight in the future, you should discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Scarring from previous leg surgery may limit the results of your inner thigh lift.
