What is Thigh Lift Surgery?

Thigh lift operation is any cosmetic surgery to be performed in order to take away extra skin and fat from the thighs for smoother and firmer appearance. These surgeries may be done along the inner or outer thigh, depending upon requirement, or in combination. In this way, thighplasty-also by pulling on the skin and the removal of extra fat-can make much more shapely legs.

Why Consider Thigh Lift Surgery?

There are many reasons people get a thigh lift. These include the following:

Aging: With age, skin elasticity is lost, and the natural outcome would be sagging, which affects all above the waistline areas, including the thighs.

Weight Loss: Extreme weight loss results in loose skin that one cannot manage through diet and exercise alone.

Comfort: The skin may be painful to live with due to chafing. It may make walking or exercising less comfortable.

Who is a Good Candidate?

These include generally healthy patients with realistic expectations and who wish to further improve their thigh appearance. It is specially ideal for patients with a skin laxity ranking from moderate to severe. Individual candidacy will be determined on consultation with Dr. Eroğlu based on the patient's health status and personal goals.

The Thigh Lift Procedure

The thigh lift procedure generally consists of several steps:

Consultation: A consultation, in most cases, is the first meeting between the patient and the surgeon to discuss the intention of the patient and their medical history.

Anaesthesia: The operation is mainly performed under the general anaesthesia to guarantee comfort to the patient.

Incision: Incisions are made depending on the regions that are being treated. They may be made inside the inner part of the thigh or the outer part depending on the desired outcome.

Tissue Removal and Contraction: The surplus skin along with fat is removed, while the rest of the skin is hauled to give it a smoother look.

Closure: The sutures are put over the incisions and a dressing over the sutures.

Recovery and Follow-up

A Thigh lift typically involves a couple of weeks rest. 

Rest: For several weeks, patients should avoid strenuous activities. Compression garments may be worn to help decrease any swelling and to support healing. Follow-ups with Dr. Eroğlu must be done regularly to follow the course of healing and to assure the desired result has been achieved. 

Expected Results

The results are occasionally immediate; they further improve as the swelling disappears completely in a few months. Most individuals are satisfied with the cosmetic outcome and usually feel more confident and comfortable with the thigh appearance.
