Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reduce stubborn fat and excess skin on the upper legs. This transformative surgery helps patients achieve smooth skin and well-proportioned leg contours.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Thigh lift surgery is perfect for individuals who have maintained consistent exercise routines and a healthy diet but struggle with persistent excess tissue. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Surgical Technique

Dr. Levi Young performs thigh lift procedures using advanced surgical strategies to minimize scarring. Potential incision techniques include:

• Inner thigh lift: Incisions along the groin, wrapping around the back of the thigh
• Outer thigh lift: Incisions along the groin, around the hip, and across the back

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a recovery period of approximately 6 weeks with limited activity. While initial results are immediately visible, full aesthetic outcomes emerge as post-surgical swelling subsides.

Recovery Highlights

• Bandages applied to incision areas
• Potential drainage tubes for excess fluids
• Manageable pain and swelling with prescribed medication
