Thigh Lift Islandia, NY | Jeena Easow, MD

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Excess skin on the thighs can be a challenging issue for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss. This condition can lead to chafing, discomfort, and limited wardrobe and activity choices. A thigh lift procedure offers a transformative solution to reshape and contour the thighs by eliminating excess skin and underlying fat.

Types of Thigh Lift Procedures

Jeena Easow, MD, offers advanced thigh lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Transverse Skin Excision: For minimal skin elasticity loss
• Vertical Skin Excision: For extensive skin laxity from significant weight loss
• Inner Thigh Lift (Medial Thigh Lift)
• Outer Thigh Lift

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift Surgery

Patients considering a thigh lift may be individuals who:

• Have experienced substantial weight loss
• Struggle with excess skin that doesn't respond to diet and exercise
• Want to improve body contours and proportions
• Desire increased confidence in their appearance

Surgical Procedure and Expectations

The thigh lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes approximately two hours. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, with the specific location depending on the patient's unique anatomy and surgical approach.

Procedure Benefits

• Tones and contours inner and outer thighs
• Removes excess sagging skin
• Improves body proportion
• Enhances self-confidence

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients can expect to take approximately 10 days off from work. Compression garments will be provided to support healing and maintain the new thigh contour. Gentle walking is encouraged, but strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.

Comprehensive Surgical Approach

Jeena Easow, MD, may recommend combining the thigh lift with complementary procedures such as liposuction, abdominoplasty, or body lift to maximize aesthetic results and minimize overall surgical intervention.
