Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Weight loss often leaves patients with unwanted sagging skin. In cases of extreme weight loss, such as after Lap Band surgery or gastric bypass, excess sagging skin can be both uncomfortable and unsightly. A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a precise outpatient procedure designed to eliminate excess skin and create smoother, more appealing thigh contours.

Procedure Techniques

• Standard Thigh Lift: Incision from groin area along the natural skin fold around the back of the thigh
• Medial Thigh Lift: Minimal incision focused on reducing sagging in the inner thigh front
• Outer Thigh Lift: Incision beginning at inner groin, moving along skin fold and wrapping around hip at bikini line

Important Considerations

A thigh lift is not a weight loss solution and is not recommended for patients looking to remove excess fat. For small amounts of bothersome fat, liposuction can be integrated during the thigh lift procedure to achieve optimal results.

Surgical Approach in Upland

Smaili Plastic Surgery takes a conservative and meticulous approach to thigh lift procedures. The underlying tissue is lifted, reshaped, and tightened using deep internal sutures. Excess skin is carefully removed, ensuring natural-looking and proportionate results.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect swelling, bruising, and soreness during the first week following the procedure. Pain medication will be prescribed to alleviate discomfort. Patients should refrain from strenuous activities for 3-4 weeks while maintaining light movement to prevent complications.

Potential Risks

While complications are rare, potential risks include infection, fluid accumulation, blood clots, and changes in skin sensation. Smaili Plastic Surgery offers a comprehensive 12-week scar treatment program to support optimal healing.
