Thigh Lift
DESERT BLOOM PLASTIC SURGERY
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to improve the contour of the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in a firmer, more youthful appearance. Significant weight loss, aging, and genetics can lead to loose, sagging skin on the thighs, making it difficult to achieve a toned look through exercise alone. A thigh lift provides long-lasting results by tightening the skin and reshaping the thighs for a slimmer silhouette.
Procedure Overview
Incision Placement
- Incisions are made along the inner thigh or groin area to minimize visible scarring.
- The length of the incision depends on the amount of excess skin to be removed.
Skin and Fat Removal
- Loose skin is trimmed, and liposuction may be used to remove stubborn fat deposits for enhanced contouring.
Excess Skin Removal
- Loose skin is excised, and the underlying tissues are tightened to create a smooth and firm contour.
Closure
- Sutures are placed to ensure smooth results, and compression garments are worn to aid healing.
Recovery Timeline
- Patients can resume light activities in 3-4 weeks.
- Swelling and bruising subside gradually, with visible results emerging over several months.
- Compression garments should be worn for optimal support and contouring.
Considerations:
- Scarring is strategically placed and fades over time with proper care.
- Maintaining a stable weight and regular exercise helps prolong results.
- Patients should avoid strenuous activity until fully healed.
