Comprehensive Thigh Lift Surgery in Alaska
Patients from the Kenai Peninsula, Wasilla, Palmer, and Mat-Su Valley communities seek thigh lift surgery at Plastic Surgeons of Alaska to restore smoother, firmer leg contours. The Anchorage plastic surgeons specialize in reducing sagging, excess skin and fat on the legs and upper thighs, helping patients feel more comfortable and confident.
Surgical Procedure Details
Thigh lift surgery involves carefully placed incisions in the upper and potentially lower inner thigh areas. During the procedure, excess skin and fat are precisely removed, creating more streamlined leg contours.
Procedure Specifics
- Duration: 1-1.5 hours
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia
- Recovery Time: 3-4 weeks
- Surgical Setting: Outpatient procedure
Surgical Technique
The incision location and length depend on the amount and placement of excess skin and fat. Surgeons may limit the incision to the upper groin crease or extend it toward the knee, depending on individual patient needs.
Post-Surgical Care
Patients receive a compression wrap to minimize fluid collection and support optimal healing. The supportive garment must be worn consistently to achieve the best surgical outcome and reduce potential complications.
Recovery Expectations
Patients should expect some swelling and bruising that typically subsides within 3-5 weeks. Full activity and exercise restrictions remain in place for 4-6 weeks to ensure proper healing.
Potential Surgical Risks
Like all surgical procedures, thigh lift surgery carries potential risks, including bleeding, infection, scarring, and temporary or permanent numbness. Plastic Surgeons of Alaska takes comprehensive measures to minimize these risks and ensure patient safety.

- Thorough pre-operative consultations
