Advanced Thigh Lift in Raleigh, NY | Rhett High, MD

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper thighs. This transformative treatment is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss, undergone weight loss surgery, or are dealing with age-related skin laxity.

Thigh Lift Techniques

Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center offers two primary thigh lift approaches:

• Medial Thigh Lift:
• Vertical Thigh Lift:

Procedure Details

The thigh lift is an outpatient procedure performed at the AAAHC-certified surgical center. Board-certified anesthesiologists ensure patient safety, and the surgery may incorporate liposuction for enhanced body contouring.

Surgical Characteristics

• Utilizes dissolvable sutures
• May require drainage tubes
• Involves post-operative compression garments

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect a recovery period of 1-2 weeks, with full healing potentially extending to 4-6 weeks. Compression garments are worn for 4 weeks to minimize swelling and support optimal healing.

Potential Considerations

While thigh lifts have a good success rate, patients should be aware of potential complications. These may include wound healing challenges, scarring, and leg swelling. A thorough consultation with Rhett High, MD can help determine individual candidacy and expected outcomes.

Combination Procedures

Thigh lifts can be effectively combined with other body contouring procedures like tummy tucks to achieve comprehensive aesthetic results.
