Thigh Lift (Inner Thighplasty)
With aging, and especially after significant weight loss, the skin of the inner thigh may become loose and flabby.
An inner thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove loose skin and, sometimes, excess fat deposits in the upper inner legs. It is particularly effective in patients who have lost a massive amount of weight. In this case, an extended thigh lift is usually indicated. This extended procedure is performed through incisions extending from the groin all the way down to the knees. The results are usually dramatic and the presence of scars along the inner aspect of the thighs is compensated by a substantial improvement in contour.
The procedure is always performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient surgery center.
The recovery will take a few weeks, since the incisions are long, and a significant amount of swelling of the lower extremities is expected for up to two months, until the lymphatic circulation recovers.
If you have lost a massive amount of weight and you feel self-conscious about wearing skirts or bathing suits, ask Plastic Surgeon Dr. Boemi in Naples, Florida if a thigh lift may help restore your self esteem.
The important decision of considering Plastic Surgery begins with a personal consultation. Please call to set up an hour long meeting with Dr. Boemi that covers your goals, any questions you have concerning surgery, and imaging.
