This is a question that can only be answered after a consultation. Thigh lift surgery is suggested to patients with sagging and/or wrinkling of the thigh skin. It also improves cellulite. I feel strongly that thigh lift surgery is not a treatment for obesity. Obesity increases the risk of complications and detracts from the aesthetic result. There are other things to consider, including psychiatric conditions, life stress, medical illness, obesity, and motivation. You should be a healthy nonsmoker within twenty pounds of your ideal weight, not going through major life stress (i.e. grieving a death, changing jobs, divorcing), and motivated by internal desires to look better.
