Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery
A thigh lift, technically called a thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to correct loose, saggy skin and excess fat deposits in the thighs. As individuals age, gravity and weight fluctuations can cause thigh tissues to become loose and flabby.
Types of Thigh Lift Procedures
- Inner Thigh Lift (Medial Thigh Lift):
- Outer Thigh Lift (Lateral Thigh Lift):
- Posterior Thigh Lift:
Surgical Approach
Advanced Institute for Plastic Surgery customizes each thigh lift procedure to the patient's unique anatomy. The surgery typically takes 2 to 3 hours and involves strategic incision placement to minimize visible scarring.
Recovery and Expectations
Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, with most returning to normal activities within 1-3 weeks. The final results continue to refine over several months as tissues settle and heal.
Candidacy for Thigh Lift Surgery
Ideal candidates include individuals with significant skin laxity, those who have undergone significant weight loss, and patients seeking body contouring in the Redlands, California area.
Potential Risks and Considerations
- Potential for minor recurrent skin sagging
- Surgical scarring
- Individual healing variations
Consultation and Personalization
Dr. Duncan Miles and the Advanced Institute for Plastic Surgery team take considerable time to review individual expectations and develop a tailored surgical plan.
