What Is Body and Thigh Lift Surgery?
A body and thigh lift is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin, fat and tissue from various parts of the body. These procedures primarily target sagging skin or excess fat in the upper and lower body as well as the thighs.
These lifts will improve your body’s shape and tone and help you regain your figure. Dr. Soler has helped countless patients not only look great but feel great again in their new bodies with upper and lower body lifts and inner and outer thigh lifts.
- Body lifts: Upper and lower body contouring surgery is a comprehensive procedure that improves the appearance of the body’s contours. The upper lifts generally focus on the chest, waist and arms, while the lower lifts target the abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs.
- Thigh lifts: Thigh lift surgery sculpts and tones the inner or outer tights or both. An inner (medial) thigh lift focuses on the tissues along your inner thighs and tightens that region. On the other hand, the outer (bilateral) contours the skin on the front and outside your thighs.
Why Should You Consider Thigh Lift Surgery?
Body and thigh lift surgery is a highly individualized procedure and a personal choice. However, you might want to consider plastic surgery for your thighs to target:
- Excess skin after weight loss: A thigh lift surgery can be ideal if you have loose, sagging skin on your thighs after significant weight loss, which exercise and diet cannot improve.
- Aging: As people age, the skin naturally loses elasticity. A thigh lift can counteract this by tightening the skin and improving the overall shape and tone of your thighs.
- Discomfort: Excess skin can cause discomfort and chafing, particularly during physical activities. Removing this excess skin can enhance your comfort and mobility.
If you are ready to take this step and want to look and feel your best, schedule an upper or lower body lift consultation with Dr. Soler to review your surgery options and assess which procedure will be right for you.
What Is the Recovery Process for a Body and Thigh Lift?
After the surgery, you may wear a compression garment if your procedure warrants it. Compression garments are long elastic support girdles that help reduce swelling and tighten the skin.
With minor surgeries, Dr. Soler will help you control the initial discomfort with oral medication. For more extensive surgeries, it is essential to spend one or two nights at a hospital or nursing facility. This ensures any intravenous catheters or pain injections can be easily administered.
It takes about a month for the swelling and bruising to subside. Typically, you can resume strenuous activities within about six weeks and all symptoms are mostly gone within four to six weeks.
How to Get a Thigh Gap?
The media has turned a “thigh gap” into a sign of attractiveness. A thigh gap refers to a space between your legs when you stand up straight. Thigh gaps are not necessarily typical or natural and not every body type is susceptible to a thigh gap. If you seek a thigh gap, Dr. Soler will discuss your surgical options and the likely outcome based on your health and body type.
