Thigh Lift Annandale, VA | James H. French Jr., MD, FACS

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgical Procedure

The skin on thighs and buttocks is particularly susceptible to stretching and losing tone, especially following significant weight loss. Unlike abdominal regions, thigh areas typically involve excess skin and residual fat without underlying structural weaknesses.

Body Contouring Techniques

Surgical body contouring can effectively improve patient physiques by strategically removing excess skin and fat. Procedures may include:

• Lateral thigh lift
• Abdominoplasty
• Combined body lift procedures

Surgical Approach and Considerations

Surgical incisions are carefully planned to minimize visible scarring, typically concealed beneath clothing or swimwear. Recovery protocols are similar to abdominoplasty, with patients requiring supportive garments during healing.

Potential Outcomes and Patient Expectations

While complications are rare, patients should understand potential variations in scarring and skin elasticity. The primary goal is achieving a more youthful, contoured appearance through precise surgical techniques.

Potential Surgical Variations

• Buttocks-focused thigh lift
• Leg-focused skin removal
• Comprehensive body lift

Consultation and Personalized Planning

Each thigh lift procedure is uniquely tailored to individual patient anatomy, aesthetic goals, and specific body contouring needs. A comprehensive consultation allows for detailed procedural planning and expectation management.
