Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery
A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the legs, creating a tighter and more shapely thigh contour. This transformative surgery targets loose, hanging skin and can address areas around the knee and lower leg.
Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift
- Individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight
- Patients at a stable, goal weight
- Those with good underlying muscle tone
- Patients seeking improved leg aesthetics
Surgical Approach
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and involves strategic incisions along areas of skin and fat excess. Depending on individual needs, the surgery may be combined with liposuction to further refine body contours.
