Thigh Lifting Surgery Patient 9**

About This Patient

This 42 year old presented to Dr. Parker with concerns about the fullness and heaviness of her inner thighs. She said that this is a family trait. Over the past several months, the patient lost 35 pounds through diet and exercise. She is 5’5″ tall and weighs 160 pounds. After examining the patient, Dr. Parker explained that her inner thigh fat could be removed with liposuction. Her skin tone was moderate to poor though and he suggested her skin be tightened at the same time with an inner thigh lift. The patient requested the final scar be designed so it would be hidden in her groin crease. Subsequently, Dr. Parker performed this procedure. He removed 375 cc of fat from both inner thighs with the VASER liposuction cannulas, then removed a 3″ wide segment of skin to lift and tighten the inner thighs, leaving the final scar hidden in the groin crease. The patient experienced a rapid recovery from surgery with very little pain. She is very happy with her results. She noted at her last visit that her dress size has decreased from 12 to 8.
