This patient underwent a thigh lift to address significant skin laxity and tissue deflation along the inner thighs—concerns that are especially common after weight loss or just normal aging process. Excess skin in this area can remain despite dedicated fitness efforts, making surgical contouring the most effective solution.With careful preoperative marking and a specialized lifting technique, Dr. Vinyard removed redundant skin and recreated a tighter, smoother inner-thigh contour. The incision is placed high and discreetly along the groin crease, allowing it to remain concealed even in minimal undergarments.These results highlight a more refined thigh silhouette, reduced skin folds, and a firmer appearance—all achieved while maintaining a natural shape and well-positioned, well-healed incisions.

This patient achieved an extraordinary weight-loss milestone—an accomplishment that often leaves behind significant skin laxity throughout the lower body. After massive weight loss, the skin of the inner thighs becomes especially challenging to treat: it is thin, delicate, overstretched, and often unable to retract on its own. This can create persistent folds, skin-on-skin discomfort, and difficulty with clothing fit and mobility. Dr. Vinyard performed an advanced thigh lift as part of this patient’s lower body makeover to remove the excess skin and restore a smoother, firmer contour. Massive-weight-loss skin requires a different level of precision: careful vascular planning, customized incision placement, and strategic tension redistribution to avoid puckering, irregularities, or downward migration of the scar over time. With these techniques, Dr. Vinyard was able to lift and reshape the thighs while maintaining a natural, balanced appearance.The result is a dramatic improvement in contour, comfort, and confidence—showcasing the powerful impact possible when massive-weight-loss patients are treated with specialized techniques and an artistic eye.

This patient experienced significant weight loss, which created substantial skin laxity throughout the inner and outer thighs. After major weight loss, the skin in this area becomes especially delicate and overstretched, often leaving behind persistent folds, chafing, and difficulty with clothing fit — issues that cannot be corrected with exercise alone.Dr. Vinyard performed a comprehensive thigh lift to remove the excess skin, reposition the remaining tissue, and restore a smoother, more supported contour. Massive-weight-loss skin requires a highly specialized approach: customized incision design, careful handling of the fragile tissue, and precise redistribution of tension to avoid puckering, rippling, or downward scar migration over time.By reshaping the thighs with this level of detail and planning, Dr. Vinyard achieved a more streamlined silhouette while maintaining natural proportions and mobility. The result is a dramatic improvement in comfort, contour, and overall confidence — a meaningful final step in this patient’s weight-loss journey.
