Am I a Candidate for a Thigh Lift?
You may be a candidate for thigh lift surgery if you have excess skin, and/or fat your thigh area. Sometimes exercise and weight loss efforts aren’t enough; however, thigh lift surgery reshapes and contours the thighs to give you more youthful-looking legs, proportional to your body image.
Thigh Lift Procedure
Thigh lift incisions usually are placed in the groin, extending down the leg and wrapping around the thigh. The tissue matrix beneath the skin is reshaped and tightened, while the skin is reduced creating smoother body contours.
Some patients qualify for a incision only in the groin area. This is a minimal incision medial thigh lift. More advanced techniques place the incisions in various locations in order to hide scarring in clothing and swimsuits. To improve the contours of the outer thigh, you may be required to have an incision extend from the groin around the hip.
Incisions will be extensive, and you will have deep support sutures to help form the new contours of your thighs and close the skin incisions.
