Achieving Smoother, More Proportionate Thigh Contours

When fitness and weight loss efforts fall short of achieving desired body goals, a surgical thigh lift can help reshape and refine lower body contours. This precision procedure reduces excess skin and improves overall body proportions for patients seeking enhanced body aesthetics.

Ideal Candidate Characteristics

Thigh lift candidates typically demonstrate the following qualities:

• Stable body weight
• Excess soft tissue in inner or outer thigh regions
• Good overall health without healing complications
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle

Understanding Thigh Lift Limitations

A thigh lift is not exclusively for fat removal. While liposuction effectively addresses fat deposits in areas with good skin elasticity, thigh lift surgery focuses on skin tightening and contouring. In cases of poor skin elasticity, Evan T. Manolis M.D. may recommend a combination of liposuction and thigh lift techniques.

Comprehensive Thigh Lift Surgical Procedure

Surgical Steps

Anesthesia

Patient comfort is prioritized through carefully administered anesthesia options, including intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. The most appropriate method will be recommended based on individual patient needs.

Incision Techniques

Incision patterns are strategically planned based on the degree of correction required. Advanced surgical techniques allow for strategically placed incisions that can be concealed by clothing and swimwear.

• Groin-based incisions
• Extended incisions around thigh and hip
• Minimal incision medial thigh lift option

Tissue Reshaping

The underlying tissue matrix is carefully reshaped and tightened. Skin is precisely reduced and redraped to create smoother, more proportionate body contours.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect immediate contouring improvements, though initial swelling and bruising may temporarily obscure final results. A compression garment is typically required during the initial healing phase to support tissues and minimize swelling.
