Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the thighs by removing excess skin in the upper and middle thigh regions. The primary goal is to create smoother skin and improved body contours.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Thigh lift candidates typically include individuals who have experienced significant weight loss and have excess skin along the inner, middle, and/or outer thigh areas. Suitable patients should be:

• Physically healthy
• Psychologically stable
• Realistic in their surgical expectations

Surgical Procedure Details

The thigh lift procedure involves strategic incisions placed to minimize visible scarring. Common techniques include placing incisions in the groin crease, extending from the front and wrapping around the inner thigh to the buttocks crease.

Procedure Steps

• Underlying tissue is reshaped and tightened
• Excess skin is carefully removed
• Liposuction may be used for additional contouring
• Remaining skin is repositioned and sutured
