Thigh Lift Surgery

Thighplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure that is designed to tighten and sculpt the upper portion of the leg by removing excess skin and unwanted fat from the inner and outer thigh area.  It is often performed on those who have lost a significant amount of weight, or those who are simply unhappy with the effects that the aging process has had on their body.  The best candidates for thighplasty surgery are those who are in overall good health, are mentally and physically, able to handle their recovery from surgery. Patients must have realistic expectations for what their plastic surgeon can and can not accomplish through surgery.

There are several different techniques that plastic surgeons use for thigh lift surgery to target specific sections of the leg, including the inner, medial, and bilateral area.  During your initial consultation, a plastic surgeon, can make the determination as to which thigh lift technique is best for their patients individual needs.

Those who seek thighplasty to address the excess loose, hanging skin resulting from massive weight loss, either post bariatric surgery or after loosing weight through diet and exercise, should ask their plastic surgeon if they have performed body lift surgery on weight loss patients.  These plastic surgeons employ advanced surgical techniques, which take into account key issues that affect many weight loss patients, such as poor skin elasticity, scar migration, and possible wound healing issues.
