what is a thigh lift?
A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and tighten the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in a firmer and more contoured appearance. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, aging, or repetitive dieting, leading to sagging skin in the thigh area.
Types of Thigh Lifts
- Inner Thigh Lift: Targets sagging skin on the inner thighs.
- Outer Thigh Lift: Focuses on the outer thighs and hips.
- Bilateral Thigh Lift: Removes skin from the inner and outer thigh areas, often for those with extensive sagging.
- Mini Thigh Lift: A less invasive option for individuals with minimal excess skin.
How Is a Thigh Lift Performed?
- Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort.
- Incision Placement: Incisions are strategically made in discreet areas, such as the groin, inner thighs, or outer thighs, depending on the specific needs and type of lift.
- Skin and Fat Removal: Excess skin and fat are removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to create a firmer contour.
- Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures, and compression garments are applied to support healing and reduce swelling.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for a thigh lift if you:
- Have sagging skin or excess fat on your thighs that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.
- Are in good overall health and at a stable weight.
- Have realistic expectations about the procedure and its results.
