DESCRIPTION
Vertical thigh surgery, also known as a thigh lift, is a surgical procedure used to treat excess skin and fat on the inner thighs. This procedure involves a vertical incision from the groin to the knee, which allows the surgeon to remove excess skin and fat in the affected area.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and begins with a vertical incision on the inner thigh, which allows the surgeon to access the excess skin and fat in the area. The excess skin and fat is then removed, and a suture is performed to close the incision. The patient may require a compressive bandage on the thighs for several weeks after surgery to reduce swelling and scarring.
