Mini Thigh Lift?

Just curious...what is the difference between a regular thigh lift and a mini thigh lift?  Is it the length of the incision?

Thanks!

Hi DW!  I am having the mini/small/medial thigh lift in October.  Instead of the cut all the way down your leg, it is just the cut in your groin/fold area and around to the back of your butt. I found this on the internet, and I thought it was a good description.

"An inner/medial/ mini/small thigh lift involves incisions in the groin fold. This is the most popular type of thigh lift. It is best for people with a moderate amount of skin and fat in this area. For an inner thigh lift, your surgeon basically lifts up the thigh skin and tissue; tightening it.

A vertical thighplasty involves a vertical incision that starts at the groin crease and extends to the inner knee. The scar is visible when the inner thighs are exposed such as while you are wearing in a bathing suit or mini-skirt. During a vertical thigh lift, your surgeon removes a wedge of skin from the inner thigh. Individuals with more significant fat and loose skin may need a vertical thighplasty."

I hope that helps!

Thank you, so much!  I'm going to send you a PM with another question.
