What is a Thigh Lift?
A Thigh Lift is a surgical procedure usually performed for cosmetic reasons. The goal for a Thigh Lift is to tighten the skin around the thigh area and decrease any sagging in the inner or outer part of the thigh.
A Thigh Lift can be performed on its own or with another surgical procedure such as a body lift. However neither procedures depend on the other so it is okay to have one but not the other one.
This surgical procedure is beneficial to those who suffer from a large amount of fatty tissue. However it may be necessary to do liposuction before the thigh lift is performed. Sometimes the skin located in the inner thigh will begin to droop or sag and this is when a thigh lift will be the right choice.
A successful Thigh Lift will leave the skin tight and contoured to the body in the way that it should be. If you have lost weight recently then a thigh lift procedure may be right for you.
Dr. Pillai can perform the Thigh Lift on an outpatient basis.
General anesthesia will be used. The pubic area will need to be shaved due to a chance of any hairs infecting the incisions. Dr. Pillai will then come in and mark the area that will be considered. The skin will be pinched together and then lifted toward the groin. Once the procedure begins, the excess fat and skin is removed and then the procedure is complete.
It could take two to three weeks before recovering form a Thigh Lift. You cannot do nothing for the first ten days after surgery accept lay in bed. If you are traveling from out of town, Dr. Pillai recommends that you stay in town for at least two weeks after the surgery before you try to go home.
The excess skin can make it difficult to ride a bike, run, perform activities, and wear certain clothing. The excess skin is just that – excessive meaning you don’t need it anymore. If you have lost weight or plan to but don’t know if you can lose the excess skin on your thighs, then consider a Thigh Lift instead.
