What is Thighplasty?
Thighplasty is a surgical procedure performed to reduce the overall thigh fats, resulting in a more toned thigh appearance. It is suitable for the ones with thick thighs due to stubborn thigh fats and wish to reduce the inches after you have slimmed down and maintained a balanced body weight.
How It Works
The common method performed for Thighplasty is vertical full medial thigh reduction; this works by making an incision from the groin to the inner knee, and then the large area of skin and fat would be removed to tone the thighs. The procedure is usually accompanied by liposuction, but it also depends on your condition.

3. Administration of general anesthesia
4. Incisions would be made from the groin to the inner knee
