Understanding Medial Vertical Thighplasty

Medial vertical thighplasty is an advanced body contouring procedure designed to address loose, excess skin and fat in the inner thigh region. This specialized surgical technique helps patients achieve a more toned and harmonious body shape, particularly after significant weight loss or bariatric surgery.

Why Consider a Thigh Lift?

As individuals age or experience substantial weight changes, inner thigh skin can lose elasticity and volume. Gravity and reduced skin tension can lead to sagging, excess skin, and potential fat accumulation. A medial vertical thighplasty effectively addresses these concerns by removing unnecessary skin and creating a more streamlined leg silhouette.

Benefits of Medial Vertical Thighplasty

  • Reduces visible cellulite
  • Eliminates excess or sagging skin
  • Enhances overall leg and body contours
  • Creates a more toned and refined appearance

Procedure Overview

The medial vertical thighplasty involves carefully removing excess skin along the inner thigh, from the groin crease to the inner knee. This precise technique allows for comprehensive skin and tissue reshaping, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing leg profile.

Ideal Candidates

Patients who have undergone significant weight loss, such as through bariatric surgery or abdominoplasty, often benefit most from this procedure. Candidates should be in good overall health and maintain realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a medial vertical thighplasty requires patience and following Dr. Lucas's specific post-operative instructions. Patients can expect gradual improvement in leg contours and skin tightness as healing progresses.

I met Dr. Lucas in 2002. My 4 year old son had a compound dysplastic nevus with severe atypia (precancerous mole) removed and the pediatric dermatologist recommended that we have a wide excision done by a pediatric plastic surgeon. That is when I met Dr. Lucas. Then in 2004 - 2008 we attended the same church. I had the pleasure to get to know Jay and his family. In 2010 my older son slid into a door in gym class. Farragut Middle called and said 'your son had an accident. He is bleeding in the office. Come get him.' I called Dr. Lucas and he happened to be in the office that morning. We drove straight to his office. Dr. Lucas stitched up his forehead. I own a glass shop --- yes, Dr. Lucas has stitched up my hands. In April 2023, my dad was involved in a horrible accident. The Emergency Department could not repair the dog bite because there was not enough skin left to suture. The dog ate it. The ED said dad needed to be seen by a plastic surgeon. I knew who to call, Dr. Lucas. I emailed Dr. Lucas on Saturday. He replied within 2 hours. My dad was seen in his office on Monday and had surgery on Wednesday. Each time I have been in need, I turned to Dr. Lucas and he gladly helped. In 2002, I walked my 4 year old son into surgery and in 2023, I walked my 91 year old dad into his office. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lucas! Thank you!! Laura Goff Parham

I went to Dr Lucas about 3 years ago now for a rhinoplasty. Cost was fine, bedside manner could definitely be a bit better. I didn’t have a huge problem with my nose, just a small jump and an overall too big for my face look. Now after the rhinoplasty, I love the slope of my nose and I think it looks super natural. My problem is my nostrils are far too overexposed now. Where I didn’t have a problem prior to my rhinoplasty, I suddenly had one after that will require another surgery. Additionally, he takes the cast off after only 3 days and then you’re supposed to wear tape for 2 weeks. The cast removal was quite painful and wish it would’ve just been on for one week and the skipped the tape process. Also, my incision on the bottom of my nose was pretty bumpy and not discreet at all so I had to go back and get it shaved down and pay for that. If I were to do it again, I would not go to Dr. Lucas.

Excellent! I won’t go elsewhere. I’ve had four procedures done with him. I could not be happier. The staff is up front, honest and very very very compassionate. Dr Lucas takes his job very seriously and is a perfectionist. Exactly what you want from a cosmetic surgeon! He will not give you false hope or tell you that your results will be something they won’t be. He’s realistic and honest. There is always a risk with surgery, cosmetic or otherwise, that said, he is who I trust and have had as perfect as can be expected results with. Highly highly highly recommend!

Ended up finding another plastic surgeon to correct Dr. Lucas's MAJOR MISTAKES! After $20,000 or so,I finally have breasts that are the same size,and shape. What a nightmare!!!! He and his staff are very compassionate,until there's a problem!

I paid up front for work to be done . The first procedure went bad . Developed bad infection. MRSA. Had to be told that by another dr. In another town. I should be refunded half my money. Going to discuss with proper authorities.
