Thigh Lift Leawood by Swanson Center for Cosmetic Surgery

Thigh Lift in Leawood, KS | Swanson Center for Cosmetic Surgery

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Plastic surgeons approach thigh lift procedures by separately addressing inner and outer thigh regions. The technique varies depending on patient anatomy, skin laxity, and aesthetic goals. Swanson Center for Cosmetic Surgery specializes in personalized body contouring solutions for patients experiencing skin sagging due to weight loss, aging, or genetic factors.

Inner Thigh Lift Technique

The inner thigh lift utilizes a longitudinal excision method that effectively removes excess skin around the thigh circumference. Unlike traditional techniques that only tighten the upper inner thigh, this approach provides comprehensive skin tightening with a strategically placed scar along the thigh's inseam.

Outer Thigh Lift Approach

Outer thigh lifts can be performed with buttock enhancement, creating a comprehensive lower body transformation. The procedure involves removing excess tissue at the waist level and elevating thigh and buttock tissues to create a more contoured silhouette.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift Surgery

  • Patients with significant skin laxity in thigh regions
  • Individuals who have experienced massive weight loss
  • Those seeking improved body contour after aging or genetic skin changes
  • Patients with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Potential Surgical Considerations

Thigh lift procedures are intricate surgeries that require careful planning and execution. Surgeons focus on minimizing scarring while maximizing aesthetic improvements. The surgical approach may include simultaneous procedures like liposuction or fat transfer to enhance overall body contouring results.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from thigh lift surgery typically involves minimal discomfort compared to the extent of surgical intervention. Patients can expect some initial tightness and swelling, with gradual improvement over several weeks. Most individuals can resume normal daily activities relatively quickly, with vigorous physical activities restricted for approximately one month.

Potential Complications

  • Seroma formation
  • Potential wound healing challenges
  • Possible scar irregularities
  • Minor asymmetry

I had my breasts reduced 3 yrs ago and very disappointed with the results. No lipo under my arm so my breast starts under my arm and the right one is clearly larger than the left one. I am very unhappy with the way they look. I had one done back in 93 and they came out perfect, unfortunately my former surgeon had passed away.

Dr Swanson and staff are amazing. They truly take the time to listen to the results you are wanting and explain how to get there. I would recommend to anyone looking to have work done.

Thank you for a great experience! This was my first time addressing the area that bothered me the most—my under-eyes. I had a blepharoplasty, and I'm so glad I did! It looks so natural and perfect—I love it. Thank you, Dr. Swanson!
