Introduction to Medial Thigh Tuck for plus sized Clients

The extent of fat excess and skin redundancy affects a medial thigh tuck for plus sized clients. The increase in both skin and soft tissues often extends from the inguinal groin down to and even below the knees. As a result, consideration of a groin-based medial thigh tuck is not feasible. This is because a horizontal cut limited to the groin crease will not provide the leverage to tuck out or trim the skin and soft tissues below the upper thigh level. Instead, plus sized clients interested in a medial thigh tuck should consider undergoing a vertical excision of their thighs. A vertical excision in the plus sized clients will ensure the elimination of all horizontal skin redundancy. This includes the entire leg extending from the groin down to and below the knees.

It has advantages and disadvantages when compared to the conventional groin thigh tuck. The advantages include optimizing leverage to remove skin and soft tissue redundancies throughout the entire inner leg and even the knees.

The single disadvantage of the vertical medial thigh includes a more visible incision line. This incision line can be visible when you are wearing a bathing suit and, or below your shorts.

This groove is located between two inner muscle groups called the adductor magnus and longus.
