Thigh Lift Ypsilanti, MI | Dr. Richard J. Beil, MD

Understanding Thigh Lift Procedures

A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to address loss of skin elasticity and excess skin in the thigh region. At the Center for Plastic Surgery Ann Arbor, board-certified plastic surgeons specialize in creating refined body contours through advanced surgical techniques.

Indications for Thigh Lift Surgery

• Loss of skin elasticity in inner and outer thigh areas
• Loose or excess skin due to aging
• Skin irregularities following significant weight loss

Procedure Details

Thigh lift procedures are typically performed under sedation using local or general anesthesia. The surgical approach depends on individual patient needs and goals. Incision designs can vary to accommodate clothing preferences and aesthetic objectives.

Surgical Techniques

• Inner thigh lifting with incisions extending from groin to buttock crease
• Circumferential lower body lift with more extensive incisions

Complementary Procedures

To enhance overall body contouring results, patients might consider combining thigh lift surgery with complementary procedures such as:

• Liposuction
• Tummy Tuck

Recovery and Healing

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a compression garment to reduce swelling and support skin tightening. Initial discomfort can be managed with prescription medication. Most patients can resume strenuous activities within 6 weeks, with complete healing occurring in 4-6 months.
