Thigh Lift Boca Raton, FL | Steven Schuster, MD

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

For individuals experiencing loose skin on the thighs, a thigh lift provides a comprehensive solution to both cosmetic and functional concerns. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who have experienced significant weight loss or have poor skin elasticity causing sagging and folding.

Procedure Overview

During a thigh lift, plastic surgeons focus on three key objectives:

• Tightening deep tissue in the thigh area
• Removing excess fat pockets
• Eliminating redundant skin

Surgical Techniques

Two primary thigh lift approaches are available:

• Inner Thigh Lift: Incision placed in the crease connecting the thigh to the pubic area
• Outer Thigh Lift: Circumferential incision around the thigh near the hip

Recovery and Results in Boca Raton

Patients can expect a relatively straightforward recovery process. Most individuals can return to work within seven to ten days, with full results becoming apparent over several months as swelling subsides.

Patient Considerations

Potential candidates should understand that while results are long-lasting, natural aging processes will gradually affect skin elasticity. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help preserve surgical outcomes.

Combining Procedures

Many patients benefit from combining thigh lift surgery with liposuction to achieve comprehensive body contouring results. This combination allows for simultaneous fat removal and skin tightening.

Potential Risks

Like all surgical procedures, thigh lifts carry potential risks including:

• Scarring
• Infection
• Bleeding
• Blood clots

Determining Your Best Approach

A personalized consultation with Dr. Steven Schuster or Dr. Daniel Kovacs is crucial to determine whether a thigh lift, liposuction, or a combination procedure best meets your aesthetic goals.
