thigh lift surgery

Thigh lift surgery

Introduction

Do you have sagging skin on your leg and thigh? This sagging occurs more on the thighs and due to loosing elasticity of the skin, and can remove by performing surgery. Factors such as, weight loss, over weighting, aging, exposure to sunlight and genetics affect on the sagging. Dr. Nadaf recommends to perform thigh lift surgery for patients who have this problem.

There are 2 techniques for this surgery:

  1. First technique has a short and horizontal scar on the thigh. This technique removes skin sagging of the internal part of the thigh.
  2. Second technique has a vertical scar along the thigh. This technique also removes skin sagging from thighs to knee.

thigh lift surgeryBy using second technique, high amount of skin removed than first technique. And, then, the best and notable result is achieved. During both techniques, surgeons use liposuction to remove excess skin and achieve firmer appearance.

Sagging on external part of the thigh is less common, and occurs due to the overweighting after weight loss.

In normal case, thighs are smooth, long, tense with no sagging. Also, there are slight layer of fat in internal part of the thigh, so, due to weight changes and reducing elasticity of skin, skin becomes sag and touch each other. Performing thigh lift surgery, removes this problem.

Thigh lift surgery, makes thighs firmer and more attractive. This surgery is done by using 2 procedures of liposuction ( removing excess fat) and removing excess skin of the thighs.

Who are good candidates for thigh lift surgery?
This surgery can be done for all ages. Patients should be in healthy condition. Smokers should give up smoking 2 weeks before surgery and also try to avoid during recovery time.
Patients who have severe weight loss, or have had surgery, are good candidates of thigh lift surgery. In these patients, surgeons choose vertical scar technique, because sagging can occur along the thigh.
Mini thigh lift surgery, only improve skin appearance of the internal part of the thigh. One of the most common mistakes is that, patients think that this surgery can improve top of the thigh. But this is a wrong believe. However, after surgery patients achieve desired result.
–    Thigh lift surgery needs vertical and long scars
After performing this surgery, vertical and long scar is remained. Scars can be seen when patients wear short clothes. So, consultation with a knowledgeable and best surgeon is so important. But most patients accept this risk to have a firm and attractive thigh.
–    Incisions of the thigh lift surgery and mini thigh lift surgery
All surgeries remain scars. But remaining least amount of scar depends on skill and knowledge of the surgeon. Vertical scars are visible so patients should make a definite decision before surgery.
