This 38-year-old Black female experienced a significant amount of redundant skin on her inner thighs that did not retract, despite the fact that she maintained a stable weight. She was dissatisfied with the loose, hanging thigh skin and deep folds that extended toward the knees, which resulted in friction, irritation, and difficulty wearing fitted clothing. The excess tissue was a constant reminder of her previous weight and affected her comfort during walking and exercise. She underwent a longitudinal vertical medial thigh lift with Dr. Katzen in Beverly Hills to enhance thigh contour and eliminate redundant skin. The incision extended from the groin to the inner knee, enabling the complete excision and reshaping of the thighs. The procedure, which lasted approximately four hours, was conducted under general anesthesia. Each thigh was implanted with two drains, which were subsequently removed three weeks later. She wore compression garments for approximately eight weeks to reduce swelling, support healing tissues, and aid in scar maturation following the operation. Additionally, she conducted routine dressing changes. The results of her thigh lift before and after treatment are as follows: enhanced mobility, reduced skin redundancy, smoother inner thighs, and a more comfortable clothing fit. She expressed a high level of gratification with the result and a heightened sense of self-assurance regarding her appearance. She is extremely happy with her results. She is very satisfied that she found Dr. Katzen and decided to undergo her thighplasty with Dr. Katzen.

This 38-year-old Black female lost 100 pounds and was left with significant excess skin of the inner thighs that failed to retract despite long-term weight stability. She was dissatisfied with loose, hanging thigh skin and deep folds extending toward the knees, which caused friction, irritation, and difficulty wearing fitted clothing. The excess tissue affected comfort during walking and exercise and served as a constant reminder of her previous weight. In Beverly Hills, she underwent a longitudinal vertical medial thigh lift with Dr. Katzen to remove redundant skin and improve thigh contour. The incision extended from the groin to the inner knee, allowing thorough excision and reshaping of the thighs. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia and lasted approximately four hours. Two drains were placed in each thigh and removed three weeks later. Postoperatively, she performed routine dressing changes and wore compression garments for approximately eight weeks to reduce swelling, support healing tissues, and assist with scar maturation. Her thigh lift before and after results demonstrate smoother inner thighs, reduced skin redundancy, improved mobility, and a more comfortable clothing fit. She expressed strong satisfaction with the outcome and increased confidence in her appearance. Healing progressed as expected over the ensuing weeks. Scars continue to mature as swelling gradually resolves. Activity was advanced gradually according to postoperative guidelines.
