Thigh Lift Nashville, TN | Dr. J. J. Wendel Plastic Surgery

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Thigh lift surgery is a specialized body contouring procedure designed for individuals who have lost significant weight and are experiencing excess, loose skin in the upper leg and hip area. This surgical intervention goes beyond traditional liposuction by removing both excess fat and redundant skin to create smoother, more aesthetically pleasing thigh contours.

Candidate Characteristics

Ideal candidates for thigh lift surgery typically include individuals who:

• Have experienced substantial weight loss
• Struggle with loose, sagging skin in the thigh region
• Are unhappy with dimpled or flabby thigh appearance
• Have maintained a stable weight

Thigh Lift Surgical Techniques

Dr. Wendel offers two primary thigh lift approaches to address specific patient needs:

• Hip or Lateral Thigh Lift: Targets outer thigh contours
• Medial Thigh Lift: Focuses on inner thigh refinement

Surgical Procedure Details

The thigh lift procedure is performed under anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical facility. Dr. Wendel strategically places incisions to minimize visible scarring while removing excess skin and potentially performing complementary liposuction to enhance overall thigh aesthetics.

Alternative Body Contouring Option

For patients with minimal excess skin, Dr. Wendel recommends Morpheus8 Skin Remodeling as a potential non-surgical alternative to traditional thigh lift surgery.
