Thigh Lift in Fayetteville, NY | Herring Plastic Surgery

Understanding Thigh Lift Procedures

A thigh lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance and tightness of the inner thighs. This body contouring technique addresses sagging skin and tissue relaxation that occurs with aging, significant weight loss, or other body changes. Herring Plastic Surgery helps patients achieve a more refined and comfortable thigh contour.

Key Benefits of Thigh Lift Surgery

• Reduces excess skin and fat in the inner thigh area
• Improves skin elasticity and overall thigh appearance
• Enhances comfort when wearing clothing or swimwear
• Particularly beneficial for gastric bypass patients with significant body changes

Surgical Approach and Technique

Herring Plastic Surgery typically performs thigh lift procedures with strategic incision placement. Most incisions are located in the upper inner thigh to minimize visible scarring. In some cases, a vertical incision from knee to groin may be used, though this is less common.

Procedure Specifics

The thigh lift can be performed using sedation and local anesthesia or general anesthesia. Additional liposuction might be recommended to remove excess fat and refine the thigh contour. The goal is to create smoother, more proportionate thigh aesthetics.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a thigh lift typically requires slightly more time compared to other body contouring procedures. This is due to the constant motion involved in walking and daily activities. Patients are encouraged to engage in early ambulation (walking) to support healing and prevent complications.

Patient Considerations

An ideal candidate for a thigh lift has:

• Stable body weight
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Good overall health
• Skin with reduced elasticity in the thigh region
