Thigh Lift in Bryn Mawr, OR | Lohner Plastic Surgery

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape and contour the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. As individuals experience weight fluctuations or natural aging, stubborn thigh tissue can become loose and affect personal confidence.

Procedure Overview

Dr. Ronald Lohner performs thigh lift surgery as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgical technique varies based on individual patient needs and aesthetic goals.

Types of Thigh Lift Techniques

• Medial (Inner) Lift: Targets upper inner thigh region
• Longitudinal Lift: Addresses entire thigh length with vertical incision
• Horizontal (Outer) Lift: Focuses on outer thigh contouring

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Optimal candidates for thigh lift surgery include individuals who:

• Maintain a stable, healthy body weight
• Have excess, loose skin on thighs
• Desire improved leg contours and proportions
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Process and Recovery

The thigh lift procedure typically takes two to three hours. Patients can expect initial recovery to span 1-2 weeks, with gradual return to normal activities. A compression garment will be necessary to support healing and minimize swelling.

Recovery Timeline

• First week: Rest and limited movement
• 7-10 days: Potential return to work
• 4-6 weeks: Resume strenuous activities

Potential Benefits

• Enhanced leg contours
• Improved clothing fit
• Increased self-confidence
• Removal of excess, sagging skin

Considerations and Risks

As with any surgical procedure, thigh lift surgery carries potential risks such as scarring, infection, and temporary numbness. Dr. Lohner prioritizes patient safety and provides comprehensive pre- and post-operative guidance.
