Thigh Lift Salisbury, MD | Dr. Christopher J. Pellegrino, MD

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a specialized plastic surgery procedure designed to remove excess fat and sagging skin from the thighs, ultimately reshaping and tightening the upper leg area. Peninsula Plastic Surgery offers two primary thigh lift approaches: medial (inner) and lateral (outer) thigh lift techniques.

Goals of a Thigh Lift Procedure

• Achieve tighter, smoother skin on thighs
• Improve overall thigh contour and shape
• Enhance self-image and body confidence

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift Surgery

• Individuals with excess skin or significant wrinkles on thighs
• Patients with persistent excess fat in thigh regions
• Individuals seeking improved body proportions

The Thigh Lift Procedure in Salisbury, MD

Peninsula Plastic Surgery's experienced surgeons typically perform thigh lift procedures under general anesthesia or heavy IV sedation. Incisions are strategically placed within the groin area or bikini line to minimize visible scarring. The surgical technique involves removing excess skin and potentially performing liposuction to refine thigh contours.

Surgical Approach

• Anesthesia options: General anesthesia, IV sedation, or epidural anesthesia
• Incision placement in discreet areas
• Potential combination with liposuction for optimal results

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients can return home the same day following their thigh lift procedure. Recovery typically involves a 2-3 week period before returning to work, with patients advised to minimize leg movement and follow post-operative instructions carefully.

Recovery Timeline

• Return to work: 2-3 weeks
• Restricted movement: Approximately six weeks
• Multiple follow-up appointments to monitor healing
