Cruroplasty or thigh lift

Cruroplasty or thigh lift is the surgical technique aimed at improving the contour of the thighs. It is usually performed in patients who have had a significant weight loss and the excess skin at this level is aging and / or bothers them, requiring the removal of excess dermal fat tissue and liposuction.

We are talking about a very specific type of patients since cruroplasty is not a slimming or liposculpture technique, but a reduction of the excess skin on the inner thigh.

For this reason, thigh lift candidates are, for example, patients who have undergone gastric surgery or who have had a gastric balloon placed and who can lose a large amount of kilos in a very short time. The skin in this area is very thin and does not have the capacity to retract so it is necessary to reduce it surgically.

Another case in which cruroplasty can be used is in patients who have undergone liposculpture or liposuction in the thighs, notably reducing their volume. With this technique, excess skin and wrinkles located in the upper and inner part of both thighs are eliminated, as well as lifting the sagging tissue of the thighs and buttocks, notably improving the body contour.
