Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery
Thigh Lifts are frequently performed for individuals following major weight loss or bariatric surgery. This surgical procedure can tighten and tone sagging thigh skin and flabby thigh tissue, helping patients achieve slim, firm, and contoured thighs.
Thigh Lift Techniques
The primary thigh lift method involves an incision that strategically wraps around the upper, inner thigh from the groin to the buttocks fold. This approach allows for:
- Minimizing visible scarring
- Maximizing excess tissue removal
- Targeting upper, inner, and posterior thigh areas
Alternative Surgical Approaches
Dr. Mele offers multiple thighplasty techniques to address individual patient needs:
- Inner thigh incision from knee upward
- Incision in buttocks fold extended upward and laterally
- Potential combination with liposuction for optimal results
Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift
Post-bariatric surgery patients and individuals who have experienced significant weight loss often benefit most from thigh lift procedures. Candidates typically have excess, loose skin that has lost its natural support and elasticity.

Surgical Considerations
Each thigh lift is customized to the patient's specific anatomical needs and aesthetic goals. Factors such as skin laxity, fat distribution, and overall body composition are carefully evaluated during the consultation process.
Recovery and Expectations
Patients should have realistic expectations about the surgical outcome and be prepared for a comprehensive recovery process. Dr. Mele provides personalized guidance to ensure optimal healing and results.
