Inner Thigh Lift Austin, TX | Wellspring Plastic Surgery

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Thigh lift surgery reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned lower body contours. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have not achieved desired body sculpting through fitness and diet efforts.

Surgical Techniques

Wellspring Plastic Surgery offers multiple thigh lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Medial Upper Thigh Lift: Targets upper inner thigh skin laxity
• Extended Medial Thigh Lift: Addresses extensive skin laxity from thigh to knee
• Strategic incision placement to minimize visible scarring

Procedure Details

The thigh lift procedure involves carefully removing excess skin and fat, then meticulously suturing the remaining tissue. Typically, the surgery takes approximately two hours and is performed under general anesthesia.

Candidacy for Thigh Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for a thigh lift are:

• Within 10% of ideal body weight
• Experiencing significant skin laxity after weight loss
• In good overall health
• Non-smokers or willing to quit before surgery

Combination Procedures

Thigh lifts can be combined with limited liposuction to enhance body contouring and reduce localized fat deposits. Surgeons will determine the most appropriate approach during consultation.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising that gradually subsides over several weeks. A compression garment helps manage post-surgical swelling and supports healing. Most patients return to normal activities within two weeks.

Potential Risks and Considerations

• Temporary reduced skin sensation
• Potential scarring
• Swelling and bruising
• Healing time varies by individual
