Why Consider a Thigh Lift ?
Many elements influence the aspect of your thighs: skin quality and
skin tone, fat distribution, and muscle volume. In addition, weight changes, aging, and heredity may cause your inner thighs to have a
drooping, sagging appearance that cannot be corrected through
exercise. A thigh lift is a procedure to reshape the thighs by reducing excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother skin and betterproportioned contours of the thighs and lower body.
Thigh lift procedure
Several surgical options are possible, some with incisions and some without: radio-frequency skin tightening, liposuction with plasmaenergy skin tightening, liposuction with limited skin excision, or liposuction with extended skin excision. The best results are achieved when both the skin and fat are tackled by targeted fat reduction and advanced skin tightening. If sufficient skin retraction cannot be achieved, skin excision is needed. The incision length depends on the amount and location of the skin excess. In the case of skin excision, the scar is placed in the groin and to some extent along the inner part of the thigh. In select cases, a minimal incision inner thigh lift that involves an incision only in the groin area may be an option as well. During the consultation, the best options for you will be discussed.
To determine the best treatment, several aspects of your thighs need to be analyzed: skin quality and tone, skin and fat excess, the zone of skin excess, and the skin-fat ratio. Which technique is the best for you, depends on your wishes and expectations, as well as the anatomical structures and tissues that need to be treated.
Thigh lift recovery period
A thigh lift has a downtime of 2 weeks with easy wound care. After the surgery, you should avoid physical activity and wear compression garments for 6 weeks.
