Thigh Lift in Elmhurst | Dr. Michael Salvino, MD

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin and improving lower body contours. This surgical procedure helps patients achieve smoother, more proportionate body profiles when fitness and weight loss efforts have not met their aesthetic goals.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Suitable candidates for thigh lift surgery typically demonstrate:

• Stable body weight
• Excess tissue along inner or outer thighs
• No medical conditions that impair healing
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle

Surgical Techniques

Thigh lift incision patterns vary based on the specific areas requiring treatment and the degree of correction needed. Common techniques include incisions in the groin area, extending downward and potentially wrapping around the thigh.

Anesthesia Considerations

Surgical procedures utilize either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia, with the specific method recommended by Dr. Salvino based on individual patient needs and medical history.

Surgical Procedure

During the thigh lift, underlying tissue is reshaped and tightened, and excess skin is strategically removed to create smoother, more proportionate body contours. Advanced techniques aim to place incisions in locations that can be concealed by typical clothing.

Recovery and Results

Post-surgical results are typically apparent immediately, though initial swelling and bruising may temporarily obscure the final outcome. Patients might be required to wear compression garments during the healing process to support new body contours and minimize swelling.

Important Surgical Considerations

Thigh lift surgery is a highly personalized procedure. While excellent results are expected, individual outcomes can vary. Patients should have comprehensive discussions with Dr. Salvino about potential risks, expected results, and recovery expectations.
