Thigh Lift in Solana Beach | Verve Plastic Surgery

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the inner thigh region, creating a more contoured and refined lower body profile. This transformative surgery is ideal for patients who have experienced significant weight loss or struggle with stubborn skin laxity that cannot be resolved through diet and exercise.

Candidacy for Thigh Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for a thigh lift in Solana Beach typically exhibit the following characteristics:

• Excess hanging skin in the inner thigh area
• Body Mass Index (BMI) less than 35
• At or near ideal body weight
• Non-smokers or willing to quit smoking prior to surgery

Surgical Procedure Details

The thigh lift procedure at Verve Plastic Surgery is performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient setting. Dr. Gupta carefully makes an incision along the inner thigh and groin crease, which may extend to the inner knee depending on the required correction. Through this incision, excess fat is removed using liposuction techniques, and underlying muscles are tightened.

Incision Techniques

Incisions are strategically placed on the inside of the inner thigh to minimize visible scarring. The specific incision pattern may vary based on individual patient anatomy and desired outcome.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients can expect a gradual recovery process with specific milestones:

• Walking encouraged immediately after surgery
• Light activities resumable around 6 weeks post-operation
• Moderate activities permitted at 8 weeks
• Compression garment recommended for 6-8 weeks

Additional Considerations

Lymphatic massage is recommended to help reduce swelling and support the healing process. Final results typically become apparent 6-12 months after surgery as residual swelling diminishes.
