INNER THIGH LIFT SURGERY

Thigh lift surgery reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned contours of the thighs and lower body. 

If fitness and weight control efforts have not achieved your goals for a body that is firmer, more youthful-looking and more proportionate to your overall body image, a surgical lift may be right for you. 

What thigh lift surgery can't do 
Thigh lifts are not intended strictly for the removal of excess fat. Liposuction alone can remove excess fat deposits where skin has good elasticity and is able to naturally conform to new body contours. 

In cases where skin elasticity is poor, a thigh lift along with liposuction may be recommended. 

In general, candidates for a thigh lift are: 

People whose weight is relatively stable 
Individuals with excess soft tissue along the inner (medial) thigh region and/or the outer (lateral) thigh 
Healthy individuals who do not have medical conditions that impair healing or increase risk of surgery 
Nonsmokers 
Individuals with a positive outlook and realistic goals for what thigh lift surgery can accomplish 
Individuals committed to leading a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and fitness 

A thigh lift procedure includes the following steps: 

Step 1 – Anesthesia 
Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedures. The options include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best option for you. 

Step 2 – The incision 
Incision patterns vary based on the area or areas to be treated, degree of correction and patient and surgeon preference. 

Inner thigh lift incision 
One technique used for a thigh lift places incisions in the groin, extending downward and wrapping around the back of the thigh. 

Another technique removes excess skin from the groin down to the knee using an incision along the inseam. 

You may also qualify for a minimal incision inner thigh lift that involves an incision only in the groin area. Your plastic surgeon will determine what's appropriate. 

Outer thigh lift incision 
Improving the contours of the outer thigh may require an incision extending from the groin around the hip and across the back. 

Advanced techniques usually allow incisions to be placed in strategic locations where they can be hidden by most types of clothing and swimsuits. However, incisions may be extensive. 

Step 3 – Closing the incisions 
Deep sutures within underlying tissues help to form and support the newly shaped contours. Sutures, skin adhesive tapes or clips may be used to close the skin incisions. 

Step 4 – See the results 
The smoother tighter contouring that results from a thigh lift is apparent almost immediately, although initially obscured by swelling and bruising. Get more information about thigh lift results. 

During your recovery from thigh lift surgery, dressings/bandages may be applied to your incisions following the procedure. 

Small, thin tubes may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain excess fluid or blood that may collect. 

You will be given specific instructions that may include: 

How to care for the surgical site(s) 
Medications to apply or take orally to aid healing 
Specific concerns to look for at the surgical site or in your general health 
When to follow up with your plastic surgeon 


Be sure to ask your thigh lift surgeon specific questions about what you can expect during your individual recovery period: 

Where will I be taken after my surgery is complete? 
What medication will I be given or prescribed after surgery? 
Will I have dressings/bandages after surgery? When will they be removed? 
Are stitches removed? When? 
When can I resume normal activity and exercise? 
When do I return for follow-up care? 
Thigh lift recovery at home 
If you experience any shortness of breath, chest pains or unusual heartbeats, seek medical attention immediately. Should any of these complications occur, you may require hospitalization and additional treatment. 

Following your physician's instructions is key to the success of your surgery. 

It is important that the surgical incisions are not subjected to excessive force, swelling, abrasion or motion during the time of healing. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to care for yourself. 

The results of a thigh lift are visible almost immediately. However, it may take several months for the final results to fully develop. 

Following a thigh lift, skin quality is improved both in appearance and feel. 

Some visible scars will remain, but the overall results are long lasting, provided that you maintain a stable weight and general fitness. 

As your body ages, it is natural to lose some firmness. However, most of your initial improvement should remain. 

Although good results are expected from your procedure, there is no guarantee. In some situations, it may not be possible to achieve optimal results with a single surgical procedure and another surgery may be necessary.
