People who lose massive amounts of weight can develop loose, excess, hanging skin from the thighs. In these situations, often the only effective option to lift the thighs and remove the excess skin is an actual medial thigh lift.
This surgery is performed in many different ways, but to explain it simply, the inner thighs are often liposuction and the excess skin is excised, leaving a permanent scar in the groin crease. The surgery is a big one, and best performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in massive weight loss surgery. Recovery can take several weeks.
