Jacksonville Thigh Lift after Gastric Bypass

Serving Patients in Jacksonville, Florida

Thigh Lift – Jacksonville Body Contouring

After massive weight loss, the skin of the thigh often becomes loose and sags creating an unaesthetic appearance. To help reposition the thigh to a higher position and eliminate the excess skin an inner thigh lift or vertical thigh lift maybe needed.

An inner thigh list can help correct sagging and excess skin from the inner thigh and the scar is hidden within the groin crease. Patients with even more skin excess often benefit from a full vertical thigh lift, where the scar is left on the inner thigh. A thigh lift is often performed in a staged fashion with a lower body lift.
