Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Thigh lift surgery is a sophisticated body contouring procedure designed to address excess skin and improve leg aesthetics. This surgical treatment can be performed independently or in conjunction with other body sculpting procedures, particularly for patients who have experienced significant weight loss.

Procedure Options

Dr. Nachbar offers two primary thigh lift techniques:

• Lateral (Outer) Thigh Lift: Targets loose skin around the buttocks and outer thigh region
• Medial (Inner) Thigh Lift: Addresses excess skin on the inner thigh area

Benefits of Thigh Lift Surgery

Patients can experience numerous aesthetic and practical advantages, including:

• Removal of excess, sagging skin
• Improved leg contour and proportion
• Reduced chafing and skin irritation
• Enhanced self-confidence
• Long-lasting body transformation

Ideal Candidates

Thigh lift surgery is typically recommended for individuals who have:

• Lost significant weight (typically 100 pounds or more)
• Excess, loose skin on upper thighs
• Experienced skin laxity due to aging or pregnancy

Surgical Approach

Dr. Nachbar customizes each thigh lift procedure based on individual patient anatomy and aesthetic goals. The surgery typically takes 2-3 hours and may be combined with additional body contouring procedures for comprehensive results.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery from a thigh lift procedure generally spans 6-8 weeks. Patients can expect initial swelling and discomfort, with gradual improvement in leg appearance and comfort. Detailed post-operative instructions help ensure optimal healing and results.
