Thight, well-defined thighs with plastic surgery
As a side effect of aging or major weight loss, the skin in the thigh area loses elasticity, causing disturbing sagging. The unpleasant side effect of having saggy thighs can also be that the inner thighs constantly rub against each other, causing a lot of discomfort, pain from the rashes and difficulty with clothings, causing a negative effect on the quality of life.
But with a thigh lift, you can have youthful, firm thighs again! Invasive surgery safely and permanently removes sagging skin and excess fat, leaving your thighs much leaner and more defined.
Restores the youthful contours and firmness
A thigh lift completely transforms the shape of the legs. However, it is important that you only choose a thigh lift if you feel your current weight is stable and it is something that you can keep, and you do not plan to gain or lose weight in the future.
Thanks to thigh lift surgery:
- sagging skin on the thighs disappears,
- the shape and size of the thighs will improve,
- legs become firm, toned and youthful,
- the thighs become more in proportion with the overall figure of the body,
- the appearance of rashes and skin irritations on the thighs will disappear,
- the reduction of cellulite in the thigh area.
Thigh lift to eliminate sagging skin
During a thigh lift, different surgical techniques are used depending on the purpose and extent of the procedure, but the aim is always to remove excess skin and fat.
Depending on the size of the affected area and the amount of excess skin, incisions can vary in size and extent on the thighs. However, in all cases, we aim to keep the surgical scars as hidden from the eyesight as much as possible.
Classic thigh lift
Covering a larger area, we work on the upper part of the sagging inner thighs, making a T or L-shaped incision from the groin extending downward and wrapping around the back of the thigh.
Mini thigh lift
We work on a smaller area, making incisions extending from the groin around the hip and sometimes across the back which allows the incisions to be hidden by most types of clothing and swimsuits.
Procedure
The first step in the process of a thigh lift is a consultation with our plastic surgeon to discuss your specific problems and individual goals, surgical options, the procedure and aftercare. We will then create your individual treatment plan. Your surgery will be preceded by a full check-up: you will also have laboratory tests and an ECG.
The thigh lift takes 2-3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. The plastic surgeon will make incisions according to the chosen surgical approach. We then remove excess skin and remove unwanted fat using liposuction. This tightens and smoothes the skin, resulting in contoured legs.
At the end of the operation, drain tubes are inserted to prevent any build-up of blood or fluid. Finally, absorbable sutures are used to close the wound and compression garments are put on the legs.
After the procedure you will spend 1-2 nights in the clinic, after which you will be discharged home with an accompanying adult.
