What is a Spiral Thigh Lift?

As patients lose weight, many end up with inner thigh and thigh back tissue laxity. Often patients complain about a fold of skin below the groin crease on the inner aspect of their thighs. Often, the inner thigh fold extends under the buttock crease (infra-gluteal crease) as what is known as a banana roll. Furthermore, the infra-gluteal crease can become loose. When this happens, the junction between the lower buttocks and upper thigh is lost. The buttocks and the thighs blend together, altering and blurring the shape of both the buttocks and thighs. The Spiral thigh lift is a signature thigh lift procedure pioneered by Drs. Agha and Hurwitz in 2007. Termed the “Spiral Thigh Lift ” by Dr. Siamak Agha, this thigh lift procedure corrects for the vertical laxity of the back and inner surfaces of the thigh. The spiral thigh lift surgery begins with an incision at the infra-gluteal crease that separates the buttock cheek from the upper thigh. A second incision is then made over the upper thighs parallel to the infra-gluteal incision. A crescent of excess tissue on the back of the upper thigh is removed through this incision and then the upper thigh tissue is lifted to a higher position and secured to the underlying tissues via multiple permanent sutures. In this fashion, the lifted thigh tissue is permanently anchored. Next, the infra-gluteal crease is reconstructed, enhancing the shape of the buttocks and thigh. Dr. Agha is able to lift the infra-gluteal fold if needed and reconstruct it at a higher position. This controls the shape and height of the buttocks. Both of the incisions of the Spiral thigh lift are then continued on the inner thigh over the groin crease and parallel to it. Through these incisions, excess skin and fat of the inner thigh are removed, the inner thigh is lifted and then anchored multiple times with permanent sutures at an elevated position. The groin crease is then meticulously reconstructed to create an inconspicuous scar. The final scar of the Spiral thigh lift ends up in the infra-gluteal crease and the groin crease.
