How this Procedure is Done

What is Thigh Lift?

Many people are tired of poor diets and cannot get rid of their hanging skin and fat deposits collected in their thighs. Extreme weight loss or aging usually result in lax skin. Therefore, the skin will gradually lose elasticity and won’t get retracted or tightened again as it was before. Surgeons recommend operations to these patients for improving their appearance.

A thigh lift or thighplasty is a surgery that resolves lax skin, fat deposits, and can enhance the overall appearance of thighs. This surgery is performed for inner thighs, outer thighs, or both. It’s important to indicate that while liposuction can only remove excess fat in the thighs to improve the appearance, a thigh lift is a different procedure which addresses all parts of thighs, namely skin, fat, and shape. Through this operation, patients do not lose weight. It is suitable for individuals who maintain their ideal weight but are not happy with the shape of their thighs.

There are four kinds of thighplasty:

  • An inner thigh lift: This procedure targets the skin in the lower portion of the inner thigh
  • A vertical thighplasty: In this type, the surgeon starts the incision at the groin and extends to the inner knee. This technique is suitable for those who suffer from a lot of excess fat and sag skin.
  • Outer thigh lift: This operation involves an incision that extends from the groin around the hip.
  • Spiral thighplasty:This is a somewhat new technique in which surgeons reshape the front, back, inner and outer areas of the thigh. They make an incision below the buttocks, extending to the groin crease. This procedure is recommended to those who have lost considerable weight.

Depending on your skin quality, the area’s shape, the amount of excess fat, and your preferences, surgeons might decide to combine some of the above-mentioned procedures.

The scar will be made in the lower abdomen. In an inner thigh lift, the incision starts at the groin and extends downward to reach the knee. Throughout these procedures, the surgeon removes the excess skin and fat deposits to improve the overall appearance of the thighs.

 

Recovery

A thigh lift only addresses sagging skin of the thighs, while in a lower body lift, the surgeon follows a more complicated procedure and combines the inner and outer thigh lift with a tummy tuck and a buttock lift to help you achieve satisfactory results. This operation is suitable for individuals who have experienced considerable weight loss and suffer from loose skin, which cannot be tightened through exercising.

In a thigh lift, the surgeon removes excess skin and then tightens the sagging skin. Therefore, the contour of the thighs will be revealed. However, since the skin does not retract after being stretched, it’s better to remove some tissue to obtain favorable outcomes.

Since for many people, sagging skin does not exist only in thighs, your doctor may conduct this surgery along with other procedures to remove excess fat and skin in other parts of your body like stomach or buttocks as well. This combination does not cause any problem as long as it is believed to be safe by your doctor.

The majority of women and some men suffer from cellulite. It’s so annoying for them and appears when fat is pressed up against fibrous tissue in the skin. This problem is not easy to tackle and cannot be treated the same as loose skin, which can be easily removed with a thigh lift.
