Thigh Lift Ridgeland, MS | Mississippi Center for Plastic Surgery

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Weight loss is a significant personal achievement, but sometimes the body requires additional support to complete a full transformation. For individuals struggling with excess skin on the thighs, a thigh lift procedure offers a comprehensive solution. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Steckler provides surgical thigh lifts (thighplasty) to help patients in Jackson and Madison, MS achieve a more contoured lower body appearance.

Key Benefits of Thigh Lift Surgery

• Removes excess skin on inner and outer thighs
• Creates a firmer, more toned lower body contour
• Addresses skin laxity after significant weight loss
• Improves body confidence and aesthetic appearance

Surgical Procedure Details

Thigh lift surgery is a comprehensive body contouring procedure typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgical approach involves strategic incisions placed in natural body creases to minimize visible scarring. During the 2-3 hour procedure, Dr. Steckler will:

• Make precise incisions at the thigh-torso junction
• Utilize liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits
• Trim and tighten excess skin
• Reposition and secure tissue with specialized suturing techniques

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect a recovery period of approximately 6-8 weeks. Initial days may involve discomfort, bruising, and swelling. Gentle movement is encouraged to promote blood circulation and healing. Following post-operative instructions carefully will help optimize surgical outcomes and minimize complications.

Complementary Body Contouring Options

Mississippi Center for Plastic Surgery often recommends combining thigh lift surgery with additional body contouring procedures. Patients may consider complementary treatments like lower body lifts or liposuction to achieve comprehensive aesthetic goals.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Individuals who have experienced significant weight loss and struggle with hanging or loose skin on the thighs are prime candidates for this transformative procedure. A personalized consultation with Dr. Steckler can help determine the most appropriate surgical approach.
