What is Thigh Lift?
Thigh Lift is a surgical procedure performed on either inner or outer thighs to eliminate excess skin and fat; this tones up the thigh and helps to achieve a more youthful appearance. The procedure is most suitable for the ones who have undergone extensive weight loss and when a healthy diet with an exercising routine fails to firm the skin.
How It Works
The procedure works by adjusting the inner thigh and/or outer thigh with small incisions that would not be visible after. Liposuction may also be used to fix the loose fats on the inner thigh. Excess loose skin would also be removed to reshape the overall thigh appearance. For the wound closing, absorbable sutures would be used to avoid any visible scars.
Procedure for Thigh Lift
1. Consultation and examination of thigh condition
2. Marking of the areas to be treated
3. Administration of general anesthesia
4. Incisions made on the inner thigh to remove excess fat or sagginess
5. Incisions made on the upper outer thigh to remove excess skin and tighten up the remaining skin
6. Closing of the incisions with absorbable sutures
