Leg/thigh lift surgery
What is thigh lift surgery?
Due to aging or rapid weight loss, skin sagging occurs in the thigh area and in the rest of the body. The procedure to remove excess tissue, sagging skin, and accumulated fatty tissue in this area is called a thigh plasty.
Why is a thigh lift necessary?
The thighs are where both legs are separated and the sagging skin in this area or the presence of fat creates physical and visual problems. Getting dressed can be a challenge due to the irregularities in this area and due to the fact that we also sweat between the legs, the sweat left between the skin causes odors and rubbing the skin leads to diaper rash. These both have a negative impact on the social and psychological state of the person and after the surgery of the thigh lift, the patient could have a body that he wanted.
Targets in thigh aesthetics
Surgical procedure aims at reshaping thigh area and achieving a good contour as well as removing as much of the fatty tissue and sagging skin as possible. The tension should be kept reasonable, however, as excessive tension in this area would cause the sutures to open.
Thigh lift pre-surgery
Unlike other surgeries, thigh lift does not require a period of preparation. Anyone who has no health problem can undergo a thigh lift. Routine preliminary tests and physical examination may be performed on the morning of surgery.
How is thigh lift surgery performed?
Thigh lift surgery or thigh plastic surgery is recommended for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight, either through bariatric surgery (necessary body weight loss) or through weight loss.
Fat can accumulate locally on the sides of the thighs, hips, buttocks, knees and abdomen that do not want to disappear with diet or regular sports activity.
In some cases, liposuction and the operation of the calf prosthesis and buttock augmentation are combined with your own fat to obtain better results.
And in some cases it is necessary to use both liposuction and leg silicone prosthesis together for better results.
Which treatment method is best applied after the surgeon has seen the patient and that the right decision is made together.
The operation takes about 40 minutes or an hour. Under general anesthesia.
What are the Different Types of Thigh Lifts?

If the sagging skin is not excessive in the thigh area, this type of surgery is often performed:
The skin on the upper part of the thigh is only removed and the scars would be hidden in the groin under the underwear.
