Thigh Lift Surgery in Metairie & New Orleans

Thigh lift surgery, also known as thighplasty, is a procedure offered by Dr. Cynthia Mizgala at A Woman Plastic Surgeon in Metairie, LA to remove excess skin and fat from the thighs, resulting in smoother, more contoured legs.

About Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift is ideal for patients who have loose, sagging skin on their inner or outer thighs, often after significant weight loss or aging. The procedure removes excess skin and tissue to create a firmer, more toned appearance. Dr. Mizgala customizes each thigh lift to the patient's unique anatomy and goals.

Types of Thigh Lifts

• Medial (inner) thigh lift
• Lateral (outer) thigh lift
• Circumferential thigh lift

Thigh Lift Procedure

Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Incisions are strategically placed in natural creases where possible. Excess skin is removed and the remaining skin is tightened. Liposuction may be combined with the lift for optimal contouring.

Recovery After Thigh Lift

Most patients can return home the same day. Initial recovery takes about 2 weeks, with full recovery in 6-8 weeks. Dr. Mizgala provides detailed aftercare instructions to promote proper healing.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Good candidates for thigh lift surgery include:

• Individuals with loose, sagging thigh skin
• Those who have lost a significant amount of weight
• Patients bothered by the appearance of their thighs
• Healthy individuals at a stable weight
