Thighplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the thighs so that they appear smoother and toned. Sagging of the thigh skin is one of the undesirable effects of aging. The condition affects the appearance of the upper legs and makes people feel self-conscious wearing shorts, swimsuits, or fitted clothes.
There can be rashes and difficulty walking as a result of loose inner thigh skin and fat. In cases where the elasticity of the skin is good, liposuction can be effective in eliminating thigh fat. Excision and tightening of excess hanging skin is also required in case of large volume thigh fat removal.
It is possible to perform thigh lift surgery on either the inner thigh or outer thigh, depending on the patient’s requirements. A thigh lift is usually combined with other procedures that improve the body’s contour, like a body lift or liposuction. Results are usually seen right away, and they can last a long time if the person maintains their ideal body weight after the procedure.
Thigh Lift Surgery Procedure
At Cozmo Bliss, thigh lift surgery is an effective procedure to shape the legs and lower body. The procedure is performed under either general or local anaesthesia.
Most people choose to lift their inner/medial thighs. A thigh lift can also be performed on the outer thigh, mini thigh, or vertical thigh of the patient.
An inner thigh lift involves making an incision in the groin that extends to the back of the thigh or down to the knee. An incision is made only in the groin when we treat only the upper part of the thigh.
An outer thigh lift is performed by making an incision from the groin to the hip and lower back. During a vertical lift, the skin is removed all around the thigh with a larger incision.
In order to achieve the best results, you will need to discuss your surgery with your plastic surgeon. As a final step, sutures and surgical tape are used to close the incisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Is a thigh lift surgery painful?
During the surgery, you are under the effect of anaesthesia and feel no pain. In the first few days after surgery, you may feel pain and a tightening sensation in the thighs while standing or walking. We prescribe pain medication for pain relief for about a week. If the pain is severe, please contact your care team for guidance.
Q2. What is the thigh lift scars like?
A thigh lift will leave scars, but they are usually hidden in the groin and buttock crease. Thigh scars can take over a year to heal.
Q3. How long do the results of a thigh lift last?
Maintaining a steady weight is key to having long-lasting results from thigh fat removal surgery. However, the effects of thigh skin excision surgery can last 10 to 15 years.
Q4. What are the precautions to follow after a thigh lift surgery in Bangalore?
Thigh lift surgery will require you to have bed rest for at least one week in order to recover properly. Any type of movement that puts strain on your thighs – such as walking, sitting, or standing – will only make the recovery process longer, so it’s important that you take the time to rest and let your body heal.
Q5. When can I see the results from a thigh lift surgery?
Immediately after surgery, you will notice that your thighs look slimmer. However, it is important to keep in mind that your thighs will develop swelling and bruising and will be covered with a compression garment. Some patients have swelling for several months following surgery, so it is crucial to be patient in order to see the final contour, which can take 3 to 6 months or even a year. Once the swelling and bruising subside and the scars fade, you will be pleased with your slimmer and toned thigh contours.
