Thigh Lift Miami, FL | Avana Plastic Surgery

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Weight loss often results in unwanted sagging skin, particularly in the thigh area. A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is an outpatient procedure designed to remove excess flaccid skin and improve the contours of the upper legs. While not a weight loss solution, this surgical technique can significantly enhance body proportions when combined with liposuction.

Thigh Lift Candidacy Requirements

Ideal candidates for thigh lift surgery must meet specific criteria to ensure optimal results and safety:

• Stable weight with minimal future weight fluctuations
• Overall good physical and mental health
• Non-smoker or willing to quit before and after surgery
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Thigh Lift Surgical Techniques

Avana Plastic Surgery offers multiple thigh lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Inner Thigh Lift: Targets sagging in the inner thigh region
• Medial Thigh Lift: Corrects upper and inner leg contours
• Mini Thigh Lift: Focuses on the upper third of the thigh
• Outer Thigh Lift: Addresses front, outer, and hip areas

Procedure and Recovery

The thigh lift procedure typically takes three to four hours under general anesthesia. Patients can expect to return to work within one week, with full recovery occurring in four to six weeks. A compression garment is required for three to four weeks to support new contours and reduce swelling.

Cost Considerations

The average cost of thigh lift surgery ranges around $4,863, not including additional medical expenses. Factors influencing price include surgical complexity, surgeon expertise, and potential combination with other procedures.

Potential Risks and Complications

Like all surgical procedures, thigh lift surgery carries potential risks such as:

• Scarring
• Infection
• Temporary skin numbness
• Potential asymmetry

Maintaining Surgical Results

Long-lasting results depend on maintaining a stable weight, following a healthy lifestyle, and avoiding significant weight fluctuations. Results can potentially last up to 20 years with proper care.
