Thigh lift: First of all congratulations on your weight loss! the downside of losing significant amount of weight is loose skin developing in certain parts of the body. The thighs are one of those. If you have redundant skin, your plastic surgeon can combine liposuction with a thigh lift in order to reduce the volume of your thigh plus tighten the skin.

Skin removal: Following weight loss it is common to have loose, hanging skin. This is seen very dramatically in the gastric bypass patients. The loose hanging skin has to be removed with surgical lifts. The inner thigh can be improved with a thighplasty and the groin with an abdominalplasty. See a board certified plastic surgeon to go over your options and come up with a plan that will work for you.
