Thigh Lift West Linn, OR | Après Plastic Surgery

Understanding the Thigh Lift Procedure

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is an advanced surgical procedure designed to shape and tighten the inner and outer thighs by removing excess skin and stubborn fat. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, where skin elasticity has been compromised.

Why Consider a Thigh Lift?

• Sculpt and slim thigh contours
• Reduce cellulite and skin dimpling
• Improve body proportions
• Enhance personal comfort and confidence

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift Surgery

Candidates typically include individuals who have:

• Lost significant weight (often 100 pounds or more)
• Excess, loose skin on thighs
• Reached a stable, healthy body weight
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Approach

Dr. Aric Aghayan performs thigh lifts using general anesthesia, strategically placing incisions in natural body folds to minimize visible scarring. The procedure involves removing excess skin, potentially using liposuction to contour the thighs, and tightening remaining skin for a smoother, more refined appearance.

Recovery and Results

Full recovery typically takes six to eight weeks. Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, with gradual improvement in thigh contours. Following post-operative instructions carefully helps ensure optimal healing and minimal scarring.

Complementary Procedures

• Tummy Tuck
• Liposuction
• Lower Body Lift

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, thigh lifts carry potential risks including changes in skin sensation, infection, and healing complications. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Aghayan will address individual concerns and determine surgical suitability.
