About Thigh Lift Surgery

Weight loss represents a significant personal achievement. However, some individuals discover that excess skin can remain after substantial weight reduction. The thighs are particularly challenging areas where loose skin frequently persists. Dr. Jules Walters offers surgical thigh lifts (thighplasty) in Metairie, designed to trim loose skin on outer and inner thighs, creating a firmer, more contoured appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Thigh Lift

Thigh lift surgery is an effective skin tightening procedure typically recommended for patients who have experienced significant weight loss. Ideal candidates often include:

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

Surgical Technique for Thigh Contouring

The thigh lift procedure typically involves general anesthesia and strategic surgical techniques. An incision is carefully placed in the natural fold where the thigh connects to the torso, allowing Dr. Walters to perform precise skin removal and contouring.

Comprehensive Thigh Transformation

The surgery may include liposuction to eliminate stubborn fat pockets, creating a more refined leg profile. Depending on individual needs, additional incisions might be made to address specific areas of skin laxity.

Recovery and Results

Thigh lift surgery typically takes 2-3 hours to complete. Patients can expect a recovery period of 6-8 weeks, with initial days involving bruising and swelling. Dr. Walters provides detailed wound care instructions to support optimal healing and minimize scarring.
