Medial (inner) thigh lift cost in South Central
United States
United States, South Central. We are still collecting prices for medial (inner) thigh lift here. The cited figures below are what has been published. A clinic list or a regional average is not a patient median.
Two quite different operations share this name. The horizontal (crescent) version hides the entire scar in the groin crease and suits looseness confined to the upper inner thigh. The vertical version runs from near the groin down toward the knee and is needed when laxity extends the length of the thigh. Ask which one you are being quoted for — the scar outcomes are not comparable.
