Advice from Dr Yunaev
Most people researching a thigh lift want the smallest scar possible. That’s a reasonable starting point, but the decision isn’t really about scar preference. It’s about where your loose skin stops. If the laxity sits high, in the top third of the inner …
No. A thigh lift removes excess skin, and removing skin requires an incision, which leaves a scar. What clinics advertise as a “scarless thigh lift” is not a thigh lift at all, but a group of skin-tightening and fat-reduction treatments that firm the …
