Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

A thigh lift is a specialized body contouring procedure that reshapes the inner or outer thighs by addressing loose skin, fat deposits, and poor leg shape. Designed for patients who have experienced significant weight loss, this surgical technique helps restore a slimmer, tighter, and smoother thigh appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Potential thigh lift candidates typically experience:

• Fat deposits in the inner thighs
• Loose skin on inner or outer thigh regions
• Disproportionate thigh circumference

Surgical Approach

Thigh lift surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting 2-3 hours. Dr. Proffitt utilizes precise techniques to remove excess skin and potentially perform liposuction, creating more refined thigh contours.

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Proffitt offers multiple thigh lift approaches depending on patient needs:

• Inner thigh lift with incisions along inner thigh extending toward knees
• Extended technique with incisions from buttocks to groin crease
• Circumferential thigh contouring for extensive skin removal

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect an initial recovery period of 2-3 weeks. Post-surgical instructions include rest, limited physical activity, and wearing compression garments to support healing and skin contraction.

Considerations and Alternatives

During consultation, Dr. Proffitt may recommend complementary procedures like body lift, tummy tuck, or liposuction to achieve optimal body contouring results. Some patients might benefit from targeted liposuction depending on their specific anatomical needs.

Procedure Customization

Each thigh lift is tailored to the individual patient's body composition, weight loss history, and aesthetic goals. Dr. Proffitt carefully evaluates skin elasticity, fat distribution, and overall body structure to design the most effective surgical plan.
