Thigh reduction or lift is a common procedure done to remove both excess skin and fat around the thighs or to tighten extra skin on the thighs. Commonly an incision is made in the crease between the thigh and t pelvis and from this incsion extra skin and fat are pulled upwards. The extra skin and fat can then be removed and the remainder closed leaving a much tighter looking more youthful upper leg. The procedure takes approximately 2 hours and is done under General or neurolept anesthetic. The patient is usually sent home the same day.
