Thigh Lift Surgery in Malaga

The accumulation of fat and sagging skin on the inner thighs is very common in individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight. Thigh lift surgery involves the removal of tissue and fat from the inner thighs.

The scar can be located along the inguinal fold or along the inner thigh, and the choice between the two will depend on each case’s specific needs. Typically, Dr. Javier Collado combines this procedure with thigh liposuction to enhance the contour and final result.

Dr. Javier Collado recommends this treatment in the following cases:

Improving body contour.
Correcting reductions resulting from sudden weight loss.
