Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery
A thighplasty, commonly known as a thigh lift, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and subcutaneous tissue within the thigh region. This transformative surgery addresses aesthetic concerns resulting from natural aging, significant weight loss, or post-pregnancy body changes.
Procedure Overview
Thigh lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under IV sedation with local anesthetic or general anesthesia. The surgical approach depends on individual patient needs and can target inner or outer thigh regions.
Surgical Techniques
- Inner Thigh Lift: Incision in the groin area, potentially extending along the thigh
- Crescent Thigh Lift: Recommended for loose skin in the upper third of the inner thigh
- Vertical Thigh Lift: Suitable for more extensive skin laxity
Complementary Procedures
Patients may benefit from combining thigh lift with liposuction to remove excess fat and achieve a more comprehensive body contouring result. This combination can provide a more refined, sculpted appearance.
Candidacy for Thigh Lift Surgery
Ideal candidates for thigh lift surgery are healthy individuals over 18 years old with realistic expectations. Dr. Sato recommends patients be at or near their target weight before considering the procedure.
Cost Considerations
Thighplasty procedure costs vary based on several factors, including surgical complexity, anesthesia type, and specific techniques utilized. A personalized consultation will provide a comprehensive understanding of potential expenses.
