Thigh Lift Raleigh, NY | Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper thighs. This procedure is particularly effective for patients who have experienced significant weight loss, undergone weight loss surgery, or are dealing with age-related skin laxity.

Thigh Lift Technique Options

• Medial Thigh Lift:
• Vertical Thigh Lift:

Procedure Details

Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center performs thigh lift surgeries as outpatient procedures in their AAAHC-certified surgical center. The operation may incorporate liposuction for enhanced body contouring and is conducted under the supervision of a board-certified anesthesiologist.

Surgical Approach

The surgical technique depends on individual patient anatomy and aesthetic goals. For patients with minimal skin laxity, liposuction might be recommended as an alternative to excisional surgery.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Patients can expect a recovery period of 1-2 weeks, with the following key post-operative guidelines:

• Dissolvable sutures are utilized
• Drainage tubes may be placed
• Compression garments are worn for 4 weeks to minimize swelling
• Vigorous exercise is restricted for 4-6 weeks

Potential Considerations

While thigh lift surgery has a good success rate, patients should be aware of potential complications such as wound healing issues, scarring, and leg swelling. A comprehensive consultation will help determine the most appropriate approach for individual patient needs.
