What is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that can improve the appearance of the thighs by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have sagging or loose skin on their thighs due to aging, significant weight loss, or genetics. Dr. Wentworth uses the latest techniques to ensure safe, effective, and natural-looking results.
Benefits of a Thigh Lift
A thigh lift offers numerous benefits, including:
- Enhanced Contour: Achieve a more toned and sculpted appearance in your thighs.
- Increased Confidence: Feel more confident and comfortable wearing shorts, skirts, and swimwear.
- Elimination of Excess Skin: Remove loose, hanging skin that cannot be addressed through exercise alone.
- Improved Skin Quality: Tighten and smooth the skin on your thighs for a more youthful appearance.
The Thigh Lift Procedure
Dr. Wentworth utilizes advanced techniques to ensure that your thigh lift procedure is safe, effective, and tailored to your goals. The process typically involves the following steps:
- Incision Placement: Incisions are strategically placed in the groin area, extending downward along the inner thigh or around the thigh, depending on the extent of the surgery. This helps to minimize visible scarring.
- Fat Removal and Contouring: Liposuction may be used to remove excess fat and contour the thighs, creating a smoother, more toned appearance.
- Skin Removal and Tightening: Excess skin is excised, and the remaining skin is tightened to enhance the shape and firmness of the thighs.
- Closure: Incisions are carefully closed with sutures, and dressings are applied to support the healing process.
Types of Thigh Lifts
There are several types of thigh lift procedures, each tailored to address specific areas of concern:
- Inner Thigh Lift: Targets the inner thighs, removing excess skin and fat for a smoother, more contoured appearance.
- Outer Thigh Lift: Focuses on the outer thighs and hips, improving the overall contour and reducing sagging skin.
- Vertical Thigh Lift: Involves a longer incision running down the inner thigh to address significant skin laxity and excess tissue.
