Thigh Lift Granite Bay, CA | Scott Green, MD

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Women are often conscious of problem areas, particularly thighs with sagging skin or cellulite. Following significant weight loss, skin around the thighs may fail to tighten naturally. A thigh lift procedure can effectively address these concerns by tailoring skin and improving overall thigh contours.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

The best thigh lift candidates typically have:

• Excess skin and soft tissue on inner and/or outer thighs
• Good physical health with no significant surgical risks
• Stable body weight
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Approach and Techniques

Dr. Scott Green performs thigh lift surgery under general anesthesia, utilizing specialized techniques to improve thigh contours. The procedure can involve short incisions extending from the groin crease to the buttock area, depending on individual patient needs.

Thigh Lift Procedure Details

The surgical approach may vary based on specific patient requirements. Inner thigh lifts might require minimal incisions, while more extensive corrections could involve longer surgical approaches. Dr. Green carefully evaluates each patient to determine the most appropriate technique.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect to wear a compression garment for approximately two weeks following surgery. Initial swelling and bruising are normal, typically resolving within 4-6 months. Most patients can resume non-strenuous activities within two weeks and more intensive exercises around six weeks post-procedure.

Potential Combination Procedures

Thigh lift surgery can be performed alongside complementary procedures such as:

• Liposuction
• Buttock lift
• Tummy tuck

Cellulite Considerations

While a thigh lift primarily addresses excess skin, patients may experience some improvement in cellulite appearance. The procedure can help create smoother, more contoured thigh surfaces.

Consultation and Preparation

Dr. Scott Green emphasizes comprehensive patient consultations to understand individual aesthetic goals. During the initial meeting, he will review medical history, examine the treatment area, and recommend personalized surgical strategies.
