What is the cruroplasty ?
La thighplasty or thigh lift This procedure reduces excess skin on the inner thighs. This cosmetic surgery results in well-shaped thighs with a natural and stable form.
Depending on the amount of excess skin, the scars can vary: horizontal in the groin crease or vertical between the thigh and the knee.
Social support is sometimes possible, especially if the weight loss occurs after bariatric surgery (gastric band, sleeve or bypass).
Dr. STROUMZA uses an innovative device, radiofrequency Bodytite, facetite or acucutite, to allow for minimally invasive facelifts without scarring.
