As with upper arm lifts, thigh and buttocks lifts are commonly performed for people following weight loss in order to tighten up sagging skin that has lost its underlying volume and elasticity. These procedures, however, can also be performed on patients who would like to have smoother thighs and knees and lifted buttocks. The thigh lift involves removal of excess skin and fat from the inside of the thighs for a tightening effect and from the upper thighs for a lifting effect. The buttocks lift involves removal of excess skin and fat from above the buttocks. The scars from these procedures are typically concealable with most clothing.
