Thigh Lift Metairie, LA | the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa

About Thigh Lift Surgery

Weight loss represents a significant personal achievement. However, some individuals discover that excess skin remains even after reaching their ideal weight. The thighs are particularly susceptible to loose, hanging skin that can cause aesthetic concerns and physical discomfort. Dr. Jules Walters offers surgical thigh lifts (thighplasty) in Metairie, LA, which precisely trims loose skin on the outer or inner thighs to reveal a firmer, more contoured appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift Surgery

Thighplasty is a specialized skin tightening and removal treatment designed for specific patient profiles. Typical candidates include:

• Individuals who have lost 100 or more pounds
• Patients experiencing skin laxity due to natural aging
• Women whose body shape changed after pregnancy and childbirth
• Patients with loose, hanging, or wrinkled skin on upper thighs

Advanced Surgical Technique

The thigh lift procedure at the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa involves precise surgical techniques under general anesthesia. Dr. Walters strategically places incisions in natural body folds to minimize visible scarring. The procedure typically involves:

• Strategic incision placement near the top of the leg
• Potential supplemental liposuction to remove stubborn fat pockets
• Careful skin trimming and reshaping
• Secure suturing to create a tighter, more refined thigh contour

Recovery and Expectations

Thigh lift surgery generally takes 2 to 3 hours and requires a comprehensive recovery period. Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling, with full recovery typically spanning 6 to 8 weeks. Dr. Walters provides detailed wound care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

Complementary Procedures

Patients often combine thigh lift surgery with additional body contouring procedures such as tummy tuck or liposuction to achieve comprehensive aesthetic goals.
