Cruroplasty or thigh lift is usually requested by those patients who have had a significant loss of weight, the excess skin and fat on the inner thighs makes them old and/or uncomfortable.
Cruroplasty refers to contour surgery that aims to achieve firmer and smoother thighs after removing excess skin. Most patients who undergo this intervention do so in a complementary manner after a weight reduction treatment. It is also very helpful in cases of functional problems, since sometimes an excess of skin in this area can produce friction, irritation and discomfort during the course of the day.

This procedure consists in eliminating the flaccidity in the thighs, that is, the excess of skin or fat. The lift can be performed vertically or horizontally, so that flaccidity can be eliminated in very specific parts of the thigh.
Cruroplasty is done through an incision, which is located in the specific area that the patient needs. The incisions can be made in the subgluteal groove, in the groin and in the inner thigh longitudinally and are always made with the intention of leaving scars as little visible as possible.
In a cruroplasty the incisions are made in the subgluteal groove, in the groin fold and in the inner thigh longitudinally to achieve the best possible results. When the patient has shown a massive loss of weight, this post bariatric technique is usually performed in combination with other techniques as there is usually excess skin in several areas of the body.
Yes. It is common to perform a cruroplasty with a gluteus lift in post bariatric surgery. This is what we called a spiral lift.
Yes, it is possible to perform an augmentation gluteoplasty using the patient's fat instead of prostheses and it is often associated with a thigh lift.
The post-operative period of a thigh lift that combines the incision on the inner thigh with the groin incision requires rest after surgery. This rest is longer and must be more careful than in other interventions because the scars are in particularly delicate and humid areas such as groin folds.
