Understanding Thigh Lift Surgery

Are you unhappy with the flabby and droopy appearance of your thighs? Excess skin and fat can make wearing shorts or bathing suits uncomfortable and impact your confidence. A thigh lift surgical procedure can help reshape and contour your thighs, providing a more slender and proportioned silhouette.

What is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift removes excess skin and fat accumulations from the inner and outer thigh areas. The procedure tightens underlying tissue, resulting in smoother, more sculpted leg contours. This surgical technique is ideal for individuals who have lost significant weight or experienced skin laxity.

Candidacy for Thigh Lift Surgery

Potential candidates for thigh lift surgery typically include:

• Individuals with stable body weight
• People with excess soft tissue along inner or outer thighs
• Healthy individuals without medical conditions that impair healing
• Non-smokers
• Patients with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

Thigh lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 2-3 hours. Dr. Petrungaro customizes incision patterns based on individual patient anatomy and desired results. Procedures may include:

• Extended thigh lift with incisions from groin to knee
• Minimal incision technique for smaller skin removals
• Potential liposuction to enhance thigh profile
• Tissue tightening and reshaping

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a thigh lift takes approximately 6 weeks. Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, which gradually resolves. A compression garment is worn to support healing and reduce swelling. Most patients return to normal activities within one month.
