Thigh Lift Scottsdale, AZ | Dr. Richard J. Brown, MD

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift is an advanced body contouring procedure designed to reshape and improve the appearance of the thighs. For patients dissatisfied with excess skin or irregular contours, especially after significant weight loss, this surgical technique can dramatically enhance body proportions and self-confidence.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Potential thigh lift candidates typically share certain characteristics:

• Healthy individuals with stable weight for a minimum of 6 months
• Non-smokers for at least one month prior to surgery
• Patients with excess skin and fat in the thigh area
• Individuals committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-surgery

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Richard J. Brown performs thigh lift surgery under general anesthesia, typically requiring 2-3 hours. The procedure can be customized using liposuction, skin excision, or a combination of techniques tailored to each patient's unique anatomical needs.

Procedure Expectations

Patients can anticipate the following outcomes from a thigh lift:

• Improved thigh contour and proportion
• Enhanced skin quality
• Better clothing fit
• Increased self-confidence

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from a thigh lift is typically straightforward. Patients can expect to wear compression garments for 6 weeks and should plan for 1-2 weeks of work absence. Light walking is encouraged immediately, while strenuous activities are restricted for 6 weeks.

Surgical Considerations

Dr. Brown utilizes advanced techniques that minimize scarring and optimize results. Sutures are generally dissolvable, and patients are monitored closely during the healing process to ensure optimal outcomes.
