Thigh Lift in Oklahoma City, OK | Jeanette Padgett M.D. Oklahoma City Plastic Surgery

Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Thigh lift surgery reduces excess skin and reshapes the thighs, creating smoother skin and better-proportioned body contours. The procedure targets individuals seeking improved lower body aesthetics through surgical intervention.

Ideal Thigh Lift Candidates

Suitable candidates for thigh lift surgery include:

• Individuals with stable body weight
• People with excess soft tissue along inner or outer thigh areas
• Healthy individuals without medical conditions impacting surgical healing
• Non-smokers with realistic surgical expectations
• Patients committed to maintaining results through healthy lifestyle practices

Surgical Approach and Technique

Thigh lift procedures are customized to address specific body contours and patient goals. The surgery may involve removing excess skin and, in some cases, reducing localized fat deposits to achieve more streamlined thigh aesthetics.

Recovery and Post-Surgical Care

Recovery from thigh lift surgery involves strategic management of surgical sites and healing processes. Patients can expect:

• Compression garments to minimize swelling
• Potential temporary drainage tubes
• Specific post-operative care instructions
• Gradual return to normal activities

Potential Surgical Risks

As with any surgical procedure, thigh lift surgery carries potential risks that will be thoroughly discussed during consultation, including:

• Anesthesia complications
• Wound healing challenges
• Potential infection
• Asymmetry
• Changes in skin sensation

Procedure Limitations

Thigh lift surgery is not exclusively a fat removal procedure. Liposuction might be recommended in combination with the lift for optimal results, depending on individual skin elasticity and body composition.
