It depends on the original problem and what was done. Yes, on
many types of abdominoplasty surgery, regions below the
incision are lifted. This is most along the front and lateral thigh.

You can see such results on many of the patients here:

Total body lifts can extend this effect around the thighs and to the
buttocks.

Hope this helps.
