Excess skin on the inner thighs

The procedure also results in partial reduction of subcutaneous fat in the treated area. This operation can be combined with vibration-assisted tumescent liposuction of the remaining thigh regions. Hospitalization usually lasts 1–2 days, the period of surgical recovery is approximately 3 weeks, and full physical activity with all associated risks is possible after 4–5 weeks. The resulting scar encircles the thigh around approximately two-thirds of its circumference, running from the groin area just below the perineum and ending at the back in the infragluteal fold. The vertical scar is approximately 15 cm long and runs along the junction of the middle and posterior parts of the thigh. The overall shape of the scar therefore resembles the letter Y or T.
