What is a Thigh Lift?

A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a surgical procedure that aims to reshape and contour the thighs. It is an ideal option for individuals who have excess skin and fat in the thigh area, often resulting from weight loss or aging. Our skilled surgeon, Dr. Foley James, uses advanced techniques to remove excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more proportionate thighs.

The Benefits of Thigh Lift Surgery

Undergoing a thigh lift surgery can have numerous benefits, both physically and emotionally. Some of the key advantages include:

• Improved Body Proportions: Thigh lift surgery helps create a balanced and proportionate lower body, enhancing your overall physique.
• Enhanced Self-Confidence: By achieving the desired thigh appearance, many patients experience improved self-esteem and increased confidence.
• Rid of Excess Skin and Fat: Thigh lift surgery effectively removes excess skin and fat, providing a sculpted and toned thigh contour.
• Elimination of Chafing and Discomfort: Individuals suffering from chafing or discomfort as a result of excess skin rubbing together can find relief through thigh lift surgery.

The Thigh Lift Procedure

Before the surgery, Dr. Foley James will conduct an extensive consultation to assess your specific needs and goals. During this consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns, medical history, and expectations. Dr. Foley James will then create a customized surgical plan tailored to your unique anatomy.

The thigh lift procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Foley James will make incisions in strategic locations to minimize visibility. The incision pattern will depend on the extent of correction needed, considering factors such as skin laxity and excess fat. Once the incisions are made, Dr. Foley James will remove the excess skin and fat, tighten the remaining tissue, and close the incisions meticulously.

Thigh Lift Recovery and Results

Thigh lift surgery requires a dedicated recovery period to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results. Following the surgery, it is crucial to follow Dr. Foley James' post-operative instructions to minimize discomfort and promote proper healing. You may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, but these will gradually subside.

Results from a thigh lift surgery are often visible immediately after the procedure, although the final outcome will become more apparent as the swelling subsides and the incision lines fade. The results of a thigh lift are intended to be long-lasting, provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.

Risks and Considerations

Like any surgical procedure, thigh lift surgery carries potential risks and considerations. Although complications are rare, it is important to be well-informed before making a decision. Dr. Foley James will discuss the potential risks and complications during your consultation. Some general risks associated with thigh lift surgery include:

• Infection
• Poor wound healing
• Scarring
• Changes in skin sensation
• Asymmetry
• Blood clots

It is important to remember that each patient's experience and outcome may vary, and it is crucial to follow all pre- and post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Foley James to minimize potential risks.
