Thigh lift surgery is an aesthetic operation performed to eliminate sagging skin in the thigh area caused by factors such as excessive weight gain and loss or the aging process. This surgery corrects the excess skin and fat in the inner thigh area, providing a tighter, younger and more aesthetic appearance.
What is Thigh Sagging? What Causes It?
Thigh sagging occurs due to reasons such as the aging process, loss of skin elasticity, and loss of skin tension as a result of excessive weight gain and loss. Skin sagging and looseness occurs on the inner thigh. This condition usually focuses on the middle part of the thigh and can sometimes spread towards the knee area.
How is a Thigh Lift Performed?
Thigh lift surgery is performed to correct excess skin and fat in the upper and inner parts of the legs. Two different methods can be used:
- Removal of Excess Skin: In thin patients with little skin laxity, excess skin is removed, tightened and sutured to leave a horizontal scar on the inside of the groin.
- Combined Method with Liposuction: It is applied to patients with excess skin and fat using the liposuction method. With this method, the skin gains a younger and tighter appearance.
Thigh Lift Surgery Duration and Pain
Depending on the patient's body condition, thigh lift surgery is usually a procedure that takes 2-3 hours. The pain level is minimal and any pain that may occur in the first days can be controlled with simple painkillers.
Type of Anesthesia
In thigh lift surgeries, the patient is usually given general anesthesia. This allows the patient to go through the operation process painlessly and comfortably.
Thigh lift surgery reshapes sagging skin with an aesthetic solution, giving the patient a younger, tighter and more harmonious body appearance. Thigh lift surgery, which is performed with a detailed consultation before the operation, appropriate technique and expert hands, is a successful aesthetic solution aimed at increasing patient satisfaction.
