Thigh Lift in Catonsville, MD | Grace Owens & Kumar

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift surgically contours the thighs by removing excess fat and tightening skin for a smoother, trimmer appearance. This procedure addresses loose skin that develops after significant weight loss or due to the natural aging process, which cannot be corrected through diet and exercise alone.

Customized Surgical Approach

Grace Owens & Kumar customize every thigh lift procedure based on individual body characteristics and aesthetic goals. Patients may have lax skin on outer thighs, inner thighs, or both. For patients with good skin elasticity, liposuction might provide optimal results.

Candidacy for Thigh Lift

Ideal candidates for thigh lift surgery are:

• Near their ideal body weight
• Experiencing significant skin laxity
• Completed major weight loss
• Seeking body contouring after massive weight reduction

Surgical Techniques

Inner Thigh Lift Approach

An inner thigh lift targets skin and tissue near the knees, focusing on areas where inner thighs intersect. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, typically extending from the knee to the groin area.

Outer Thigh Lift Technique

Outer thigh lift incisions extend from the groin around the hip and across the back, allowing comprehensive body contouring. Surgeons carefully place incisions in inconspicuous areas to ensure minimal visible scarring.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, with final results becoming apparent over 6-9 months. A compression garment is typically worn for 6 weeks to support healing and minimize swelling.

Post-Surgical Guidelines

• Avoid strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks
• Take prescribed pain medication as needed
• Attend follow-up appointments
• Maintain a stable weight to preserve results
