Yes: A lower body lift can address loose, hanging skin of the thighs and buttocks. By removing excess skin and repositioning the underlying structures, one can reshape the lower body. Please understand that this a major procedure and you should shop for the most experienced plastic surgeon you can find to do it.

Body Lift Excision: The body lift procedure involves cutting out a wedge of skin which goes all the way around your body. This is the skin which would never retract naturally on it's own. It must be surgically removed. Thus, the procedure removes excess skin from your stomach, outer thighs, and the posterior buttocks. The goal is to remove the skin and tighten the area.

Major procedure: A lower body lift can lift and shape your thighs and buttocks. It is designed to treat loose, hanging skin as well as smooth out some cellulite in the outer and inner thighs. It can be combined with an inner thigh lift and usually incorporates some liposuction. You should seek out an experienced plastic surgeon with an aesthetic eye.
