UNDERSTANDING THIGH LIFT SURGERY

Losing significant weight is an impressive personal achievement.
However, some individuals discover that excess skin remains,
particularly in the thigh area, preventing a complete body
transformation. Plastic surgeons at Plastic Surgery Services of
Fredericksburg offer thigh lift surgery (thighplasty) to address this
common concern.

WHAT IS A THIGH LIFT?

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove loose, excess
skin and fat from the inner and outer thighs. This transformative
surgery creates a firmer, more contoured appearance, helping patients
achieve their desired body shape after substantial weight loss or
significant body changes.

BENEFITS OF THIGH LIFT SURGERY

 	* Reduce skin chafing and discomfort
	* Improve self-confidence and body image
	* Enable more clothing options
	* Enhance leg proportion and balance
	* Minimize the appearance of cellulite
	* Tighten and tone thigh contours
	* Eliminate excess hanging skin

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Thigh lift surgery typically involves strategic incisions near the top
of the thigh, in the natural crease where the thigh meets the torso.
The procedure allows surgeons to remove excess skin, perform optional
liposuction, and create a tighter, more aesthetically pleasing thigh
profile.

PROCEDURE CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Performed under anesthesia
	* Incisions strategically placed for minimal visible scarring
	* Customized approach based on individual body structure
	* Potential combination with other body contouring procedures

Candidates for thigh lift surgery typically include individuals who
have:

 	* Experienced significant weight loss
	* Excess, sagging skin on inner or outer thighs
	* Maintained a stable weight
	* Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery from thigh lift surgery generally takes 1-2 weeks. Patients
can expect gradual improvement in thigh appearance, with final results
becoming more apparent as healing progresses. Maintaining a stable
weight and healthy lifestyle can help preserve surgical outcomes.

COST AND CONSULTATION

starts around $6,300. Individual costs vary based on specific surgical
