THIGH LIFT IN CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO

WHAT IS A THIGH LIFT?

Dr. Humphrey uses a combination of two procedures when performing a
thigh lift: liposuction to eliminate extra fat and surgery to remove
excess skin. At Heartland Plastic & Hand Surgery, a thigh lift
procedure is performed under general anesthesia.

THIGH LIFT PROCEDURE DETAILS

Thigh lift procedures consist of several surgical steps. Typically, an
incision is made on the upper leg, near the groin, which may wrap
around the rear of the thigh. During the procedure, the surgeon:

 	* Removes loose skin and excess fat
	* Stretches the targeted area
	* Carefully sutures the skin together

TYPES OF THIGH LIFT PROCEDURES

LIMITED INCISION MEDIAL THIGH LIFT

Utilizes an incision through the groin area with moderate skin
removal. Ideal for patients with mild skin laxity.

DIRECT INCISION MEDIAL THIGH LIFT

Involves an incision in the groin and a vertical incision extending to
the knee, allowing for more extensive skin removal. Recommended for
patients with significant skin looseness.

PREPARING FOR YOUR THIGH LIFT

To ensure optimal results and minimize complications, patients must:

 	* Stop smoking one month before and after surgery
	* Discontinue blood thinners and vitamin E supplements two weeks
prior to surgery
	* Obtain medical clearance if on prescription blood thinners

RECOVERY AND CONSIDERATIONS

After a thigh lift, patients can expect:

 	* Difficulty walking for several weeks
	* 3-4 weeks off work for standard jobs
	* 4-6 weeks off for physically demanding occupations

ADDITIONAL BODY CONTOURING PROCEDURES

 	* Arm Lift
	* Body Lift
	* Liposuction
	* Panniculectomy

UNDERSTANDING THIGH LIFT PROCEDURES

A thigh lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to restore a
tighter and more youthful appearance to the thighs. This procedure is
particularly beneficial for patients with excessive skin and fat
tissue resulting from significant weight loss or natural aging
processes.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

The thigh lift procedure involves removing an ellipse of skin from the
inner thigh and eliminating excess skin and fat within that specific
pattern. Depending on the patient's anatomy and desired outcome, the
incision might be extended past the knee or into the groin to achieve
optimal contouring.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

 	* Performed as an outpatient procedure
	* Conducted under general anesthesia
	* Performed at Auburn Surgery Center
	* Requires a long scar on the inside of the thigh

RECOVERY AND POST-SURGICAL EXPECTATIONS

Recovery experiences vary between patients, but most individuals feel
prepared to return to non-strenuous work within one week of surgery.
Compression garments play a crucial role in the healing process.

RECOMMENDED POST-SURGICAL CARE

 	* Wear compression wraps for 3-4 weeks
	* Expect drains to be placed and typically removed within 7-10 days
	* Avoid exercise and water submersion until specifically instructed
