Thigh Lift Ridgeland, MS | David Steckler MD, FACS

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Losing significant weight is a remarkable achievement, but sometimes excess skin can prevent individuals from fully experiencing their body transformation. For many patients, the thighs become a problematic area with hanging skin that does not conform to the body's new shape and size.

Procedure Overview

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Steckler offers surgical thigh lifts, or thighplasty, to men and women in Jackson and Madison, Mississippi. This procedure specifically targets excess skin on the outer and inner thighs, creating a firmer and more contoured appearance.

Surgical Technique

Thigh lift surgery typically involves the following steps:

• General anesthesia administration
• Incision placement in the natural crease where the thigh meets the torso
• Liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits
• Excess skin trimming and upward tightening
• Secure suturing of the repositioned skin

Recovery and Results

The procedure takes approximately 2-3 hours. Patients can expect a recovery period of 6-8 weeks, with initial discomfort, bruising, and swelling. Gradual movement is encouraged to promote healing and circulation.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Individuals who have experienced significant weight loss and struggle with sagging thigh skin are prime candidates for this transformative procedure. The surgery helps restore confidence by creating a more toned and proportionate lower body contour.

Complementary Procedures

Patients often combine thigh lift surgery with other body contouring procedures like lower body lift to achieve comprehensive aesthetic goals. Dr. Steckler can develop a personalized treatment plan during consultation.
