Improving the appearance of your thighs is a major concern for a lot of people. Weight fluctuations or the aging process can take its toll on our skin. After significant weight loss, sometimes we are left with sagging skin in the thigh area, and no matter how much we exercise, we can’t seem to eliminate that excess skin or stubborn fat. Once elasticity in the skin is gone or stretched out, it is impossible to correct without surgery.

If you are interested in tightening the skin on your thighs and improving the contour of your legs, then Thigh Lift surgery may be an excellent solution for you.

Thigh Lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The full operation typically takes 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on the extent of surgery.

• Skin and superficial fat is removed surgically and the skin is tightened.
• Often combined with liposuction to enhance the surgical results and improve the overall contour
• An incision is made along the inner aspect of the groin and often along the inner upper part of the thigh.
• Your thigh lift surgery will be custom tailored to your unique needs, individual results may vary.

You have two different types of Thigh Lifts to choose from depending on the severity and location of the loose skin. Regardless of the type of lift, liposuction is almost always performed to improve the overall outcome.

MODIFIED/SHORT SCAR THIGH LIFT

A Modified Thigh Lift has a shorter incision shaped like a “crescent” in the upper thigh just below the groin crease and does not involve a vertical scar. This type of thigh lift would be more suitable for someone who has mild loose skin or a bulge of skin and fat called a “festoon” that is confined to the inner/upper thigh.

PRESERVATION FULL THIGH LIFT

Preservation Full Thigh Lift is an operation that has a longer vertical incision extending from the upper thigh/groin crease to the knee which is made along the inner aspect of the upper leg. Liposuction is combined with this procedure to preserve and maximize the blood supply, lymphatic circulation, and nerve supply to the upper thigh thereby maximizing results and limiting complications. This operation is suitable for those with moderate to severe skin laxity along the inner aspect of the thigh following significant weight loss or those with excess fat combined with loose skin.
