thigh lift vs LBL?
When people say "thigh lift" they generally mean an inner thigh lift in which the incision is on the inside of the thighs, where they meet. In a lower body lift, the surgeon cuts all the way around your hips and pulls down from the belly and puls up all the way around. This generally improves the outer thighs, but does nothing for the inner thighs. Hope I make sense.

Yep, Laura hit it right on the head.
A thigh lift takes care of your inner thighs, incisions are on the inside of your thigh. it usually does not do much for your outer thighs.
A Lower Body Lift the incision in in your pubic hair line and goes ALL the way around your whole body. It pulls up your outer thighs, butt, and Mons, and pulls down your abdomen. also generally your belly button is relocated or removed also.

RNY 10/14/08 LBL 6/14/11 135 pounds lost, after bounceback regain. And I am OK with that. It enabled me to have double hip double knee replacements in the 9 month periond between Oct 2011 and June 2012.
You have to pick which areas need it the most. The lower body lift is the better of the two as it covers more areas. I think it is easier to form your inner thighs with work outs and exercise while the lbl covers areas which are harder to do. Have you heard of lifestyle lift? Hope this helped!
