Thigh Lift Pasadena, CA | Martin O'Toole, MD, FACS

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Loose skin on the inner thighs is common among individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or natural age-related skin elasticity changes. This excess skin can negatively impact confidence and cause physical discomfort. Thigh lift surgery effectively reduces excess skin on the inner thighs, restoring a firmer and more youthful body contour.

How Thigh Lift Surgery Can Help

Thigh lift surgery shapes and tightens thigh contours by removing excess skin and reducing fat. Dr. O'Toole customizes each procedure to meet individual patient needs and achieve optimal results.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift Surgery

• Healthy adults with excess soft tissue in thigh regions
• Individuals experiencing skin laxity due to aging
• Patients who have lost significant weight
• Those with realistic surgical expectations
• Non-smokers with no medical complications

Surgical Techniques

Procedure Options

Two primary thigh lift techniques are performed under general anesthesia:

• Transverse Skin Excision:
• Vertical Skin Excision:

Complementary Liposuction

Power-assisted liposuction can be performed alongside thigh lift surgery to remove localized fat pockets, enhancing overall body contouring results.

Benefits of Thigh Lift Surgery

• Smoother thigh contours
• Increased physical comfort
• Expanded clothing options
• Enhanced personal confidence

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling for several weeks. Compression garments support healing, and most individuals return to normal activities within two weeks. Strenuous exercise should be limited for six weeks post-surgery.

Surgical Considerations

Potential risks include anesthesia reactions, infection, and changes in skin sensation. Following Dr. O'Toole's pre- and post-operative instructions minimizes complications.
