INNER THIGH LIFT COLUMBIA, MO | DR. MATTHEW CONCANNON

UNDERSTANDING THIGH LIFT SURGERY

A thigh lift, medically known as thighplasty, is a surgical procedure
designed to improve the contour of thighs and buttocks by tightening
loose skin. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who
have experienced significant weight loss or have excess, sagging skin
in the thigh region.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR THIGH LIFT

The best candidates for thighplasty typically exhibit the following
characteristics:

 	* Good general health without chronic medical conditions
	* Non-smokers
	* Individuals with realistic surgical expectations
	* Patients who have completed a weight loss journey

SURGICAL APPROACH IN COLUMBIA, MO

Dr. Concannon's thigh lift technique focuses on strategic incision
placement along the inner thigh, extending from the groin to the knee.
The procedure involves comprehensive skin tightening techniques that
address circumferential thigh contours without risky tissue lifting
methods.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Thigh lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure
under general anesthesia or IV sedation. The operation generally takes
two to three hours, depending on individual patient needs. Liposuction
is often performed concurrently to enhance overall body contouring
results.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can anticipate approximately seven to ten days of initial
recovery time. Some bruising and swelling are normal and may persist
for several weeks. Most patients can return to normal activities
within four to six months following the procedure.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Like all surgical procedures, thigh lifts carry potential risks such
as infection, changes in skin sensation, and wound healing
complications. Patients can mitigate these risks by carefully
following post-operative instructions and selecting an experienced,
board-certified plastic surgeon.

PROCEDURE HIGHLIGHTS

 	* Targets excess, loose skin in thigh region
	* Performed under anesthesia
	* Typically combined with liposuction

THIGH LIFT IN CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO

WHAT IS A THIGH LIFT?

Dr. Humphrey uses a combination of two procedures when performing a
thigh lift: liposuction to eliminate extra fat and surgery to remove
excess skin. At Heartland Plastic & Hand Surgery, a thigh lift
procedure is performed under general anesthesia.

THIGH LIFT PROCEDURE DETAILS

Thigh lift procedures consist of several surgical steps. Typically, an
incision is made on the upper leg, near the groin, which may wrap
around the rear of the thigh. During the procedure, the surgeon:

 	* Removes loose skin and excess fat
	* Stretches the targeted area
	* Carefully sutures the skin together

TYPES OF THIGH LIFT PROCEDURES

LIMITED INCISION MEDIAL THIGH LIFT

Utilizes an incision through the groin area with moderate skin
removal. Ideal for patients with mild skin laxity.

DIRECT INCISION MEDIAL THIGH LIFT

Involves an incision in the groin and a vertical incision extending to
the knee, allowing for more extensive skin removal. Recommended for
patients with significant skin looseness.

PREPARING FOR YOUR THIGH LIFT

To ensure optimal results and minimize complications, patients must:

 	* Stop smoking one month before and after surgery
	* Discontinue blood thinners and vitamin E supplements two weeks
prior to surgery
	* Obtain medical clearance if on prescription blood thinners

RECOVERY AND CONSIDERATIONS

After a thigh lift, patients can expect:

 	* Difficulty walking for several weeks
	* 3-4 weeks off work for standard jobs
	* 4-6 weeks off for physically demanding occupations

ADDITIONAL BODY CONTOURING PROCEDURES

 	* Arm Lift
	* Body Lift
	* Liposuction
	* Panniculectomy

PANNICULECTOMY IN CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO

UNDERSTANDING PANNICULECTOMY

A panniculectomy is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess
abdominal skin, known as the pannus, that hangs over the pubic area.
This medical intervention addresses functional concerns such as skin
irritation, rashes, and interference with daily activities.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

 	* Surgical duration: 3-5 hours
	* Performed under general anesthesia
	* Incision made above the pubic area extending to the hip region
	* Removes subcutaneous fat and skin below the belly button

MEDICAL INDICATIONS FOR PANNICULECTOMY

Patients typically require this procedure after significant weight
loss or post-pregnancy, when excess skin causes medical complications.
The surgery focuses on removing problematic hanging skin to improve
hygiene and mobility.

PRE-SURGERY CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Stop smoking one month before and after surgery
	* Discontinue blood thinners and vitamin E supplements
	* Obtain medical clearance
	* Maintain overall good health

PANNICULECTOMY VS. TUMMY TUCK

Unlike a cosmetic tummy tuck, a panniculectomy is a functional
procedure focusing solely on removing excess skin below the belly
button. It does not involve muscle tightening or extensive fat
removal.

RECOVERY AND HEALING

Recovery typically takes 2-4 weeks. Patients should plan for adequate
rest and follow post-operative instructions carefully to ensure proper
healing.

WHY CHOOSE HEARTLAND PLASTIC & HAND SURGERY

Dr. J. Stewart Humphrey is board-certified by the American Board of
Plastic Surgery, ensuring expert, professional care for your
panniculectomy procedure.

BODY LIFT CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO | J. STEWART HUMPHREY, MD

UNDERSTANDING BODY LIFT SURGERY

A body lift, also known as a belt lipectomy, is a comprehensive
surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and reposition
tissue to create aesthetically pleasing body contours. This procedure
is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced
significant weight loss or have skin sagging due to aging.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BODY LIFT

 	* Individuals with significant skin laxity after massive weight loss
	* Patients with stable weight for several months
	* Those experiencing reduced skin elasticity
	* Individuals seeking improved body shape and skin smoothness

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Body lift surgery can take three to eight hours, depending on the
extent of skin removal and reshaping. The procedure involves carefully
excising excess skin, removing fat through liposuction or direct
excision, and repositioning remaining tissue to create smoother, more
contoured body lines.

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

Patients may also consider additional body contouring procedures such
as arm lifts or thigh lifts to address skin laxity in multiple areas.
During the consultation, Dr. Humphrey will recommend the most
appropriate approach for individual aesthetic goals.

PRE-SURGICAL REQUIREMENTS

 	* Cease smoking one month before and after surgery
	* Stop blood thinners and vitamin E supplements two weeks prior to
surgery

procedure, it is not typically covered by insurance. Heartland Plastic
& Hand Surgery offers various payment options and can assist patients
in exploring financing solutions.

MEDIAL THIGH LIFT ST. LOUIS, MO | C.B. BOSWELL, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING INNER THIGH SKIN AND CONTOURING CHALLENGES

Inner thigh skin presents unique challenges in body contouring. Unlike
other body areas, this region features thinner, less elastic skin that
shows laxity and sagging at an earlier age. Traditional weight loss
and exercise methods often prove ineffective in addressing excess fat
and skin in the inner thigh region.

THIGH LIFT PROCEDURE OPTIONS

MEDIAL THIGH LIFT

The medial thigh lift specifically targets inner thigh concerns. This
procedure involves strategically placed incisions in the natural groin
crease, allowing surgeons to remove excess skin and fat while creating
a smoother, more contoured thigh profile.

COMPREHENSIVE SURGICAL APPROACH

 	* Incisions hidden in the groin crease
	* Removal of excess skin and fat deposits
	* Lifting and repositioning remaining skin

SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR ST. LOUIS PATIENTS

For patients with significant skin laxity extending to the knee, a
thighplasty might be recommended. This more extensive procedure allows
for more comprehensive skin removal and contouring, though it results
in longer surgical scars.

STAGED PROCEDURE FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS

In cases of substantial inner thigh fat, a two-stage approach may be
recommended. Initial liposuction can "de-bulk" the area, followed by a
thigh lift approximately six months later to address remaining skin
laxity.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

SURGICAL SPECIFICATIONS

 	* Surgery Duration: 1.5 to 3 hours
	* Anesthesia: General
	* Typical Hospital Stay: Outpatient or one night

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Most patients can return to work within two weeks and resume more
strenuous activities after 4-6 weeks. While results are considered
permanent, maintaining a stable weight is crucial for long-term
outcomes.

POTENTIAL RISKS

 	* Temporary swelling and bruising
	* Potential scarring
	* Possible delayed wound healing

BODY LIFT CHESTERFIELD, MO | CHARLES NATHAN, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING BODY LIFT SURGERY

Losing a significant amount of weight is a remarkable achievement that
deserves celebration. However, substantial weight loss can often leave
behind excess, hanging skin that may cause physical discomfort and
impact your confidence. Body lift procedures offer a comprehensive
solution to help patients reveal their transformed physique.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BODY LIFT

Body lift candidates typically include healthy non-smokers who have
experienced significant weight loss and are seeking relief from:

 	* Loose, sagging skin on arms, back, chest, flanks, abdomen, thighs,
or buttocks
	* Chafing and skin irritation caused by redundant skin folds
	* Residual fat and tissue that obscure newly achieved body contours

TYPES OF BODY LIFT PROCEDURES

TUMMY TUCK (ABDOMINOPLASTY)

A tummy tuck addresses hanging abdominal skin and can repair separated
abdominal muscles. When combined with liposuction, it can help create
a more sculpted midsection.

THIGH & BUTTOCK LIFT

This procedure tightens and firms the thigh and buttock regions,
improving movement and restoring smoother body contours after
significant weight loss.

ARM LIFT

An arm lift eliminates "batwings" by removing excess skin and
reshaping upper arm tissue, revealing more defined muscle definition.

BREAST AND CHEST PROCEDURES

Depending on individual needs, patients might benefit from breast
lifts or gynecomastia surgery to restore a more youthful and
proportionate chest appearance.

BODY LIFT RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery varies by procedure but generally involves wearing
compression garments and following specific post-operative
instructions. Most patients return to work within 10-14 days and can
gradually resume more strenuous activities by six weeks.

LONG-TERM EXPECTATIONS

Body lift results can be long-lasting when patients maintain a stable
weight and healthy lifestyle. Final results are typically visible 3-6
months after surgery as swelling subsides and tissues settle.

tighter and more youthful appearance to the thighs. This procedure is
particularly beneficial for patients with excessive skin and fat
tissue resulting from significant weight loss or natural aging
processes.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

optimal contouring.

PROCEDURE DETAILS
