Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery
A thigh lift is an advanced body contouring procedure designed to improve the appearance and feel of the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. Weight fluctuations and aging can result in loose, redundant skin that may cause chronic irritation and diminish body confidence.
Types of Thigh Lift Procedures
David Dreyfuss, MD offers multiple thigh lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:
- Medial Thigh Lift: Targets inner thigh region
- Addresses excess skin from significant weight loss
- Strategically placed incisions in natural body creases
Surgical Approach
Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia with a primary focus on skin removal and tissue tightening. When substantial fat is present, Dr. Dreyfuss may recommend complementary procedures like liposuction to optimize results.
Procedure Details for Orland Park Patients
During the surgical procedure, Dr. Dreyfuss carefully removes excess skin and repositions remaining tissue to create smoother, more contoured thighs. Dissolvable sutures and strategic drainage are utilized to support optimal healing.
Combining Procedures
Thigh lift surgery can be effectively combined with complementary body contouring procedures such as:
- Liposuction
- Arm lift
- Buttock lift
Recovery and Results
Typical recovery for thigh lift surgery spans 1-2 weeks. Patients receive a specialized compression garment to wear for approximately 4 weeks, supporting proper healing and contouring.
