There’s absolutely nothing wrong with thick thighs. In fact, haven’t you ever heard that they save lives? Although we’re not really sure how, we’ll continue to believe it.
Sometimes, though, losing a significant amount of weight leaves thighs thick in what feels like the wrong way. This may look like excess sagging skin that feels out of place and uncomfortable, and of course leads to feelings of self-consciousness in revealing clothing.
Well, here’s what you can do: allow the Indian Hills Plastic Surgery team to save your life with loose skin surgery in Tuscaloosa!
What is loose skin surgery?
Normally performed on people who have lost a significant amount of weight, loose skin surgery removes excess, sagging skin on multiple areas of the body. Oftentimes skin likes to stick around in stubborn areas, like the inner thighs. A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is the target treatment for this.
With excess skin removal surgery in Tuscaloosa, you can regain confidence in your skin! In addition to the thighs, Dr. Wallace and her team perform excess skin surgery on the arms, breasts, lower abdomen, buttocks, and the back/bra line too.
If you’re interested in loose skin combination treatments or even body sculpting, let us know during a consultation!
