It’s the moment to rejoice — you have finally reached your ideal weight! But wait, what are those flabby skin tissues and dimpled spots doing around your thighs? Okay, no need to panic and get frazzled by the sudden appearance of loose skin around the thighs. Here at our Inland Empire plastic surgery practice, body contouring procedures such as thigh lifts are highly recommended following massive weight loss or bariatric surgery. This procedure specifically aims to make your thighs appear toned and showcase the underlying muscles.
How does one get started with a thigh lift at the Inland Empire? Read on below!
What Happens During a Thigh Lift
The length of the surgery itself and the recovery process varies from one individual to another and will most likely depend on the type of incisions done. The most common thigh lift techniques include the following:
- Inner Medial Thigh Lift – Incision is done along the folds of the groin. Ideal for people who have lost moderate amounts of fat and skin in the area.
- Vertical Thighplasty – The incision begins at the groin crease and extends down to the inner part of the knee. A wedge of skin in the inner thighs may be removed with this technique.
- Outer Thigh Lift – In this technique, the incision begins at the groin area and extends around the hip area.
- Spiral Thighplasty – The incision is made below the buttock folds and targets the front, back, outer, and inner thighs.
There are certain cases where several techniques are done together. When making the decision as to which thigh lift technique is ideal for you, the following factors are taken into consideration:
- skin quality
- amount of excess skin and fat to be removed
- areas which need a lift
- your aesthetic preferences
It should also be noted that a thigh lift could be done in conjunction with other procedures such as liposuction and a tummy tuck.
