A thigh lift is a reshaping surgery done to contour the thighs. This is achieved by removing any excess fat and loose skin from the thighs. For cases where there is excess fat deposition, liposuction might be suggested.
Thigh Lift Candidates
A thigh lift can help you if:
- Your weight is healthy and you have managed to maintain your weight for a considerable amount of time, but you still find loose sagging skin on your thighs
- You have had a liposuction done on your thighs that has left you with loose skin
- You have the problem of loose skin on your thighs as a result of other factors
Remember that to get a thigh lift, you will have to start correcting your lifestyle before the surgery, meaning giving up smoking and drinking for a time. This ensures a low risk of complications during and after the procedure.
What Can a Thigh Lift Do for My Appearance?
Most weight-loss routines help in reduction of your overall body weight, meaning they are not targeted to particular areas in the body. One of the problematic zones where it is difficult to lose weight is the thigh area. Similar to belly fat, thigh fat stubbornly resists when you try to burn it.
Strict workout sessions might help in burning the fat and toning the muscles in the area. But sagging skin is another story – it typically cannot be corrected by any exercise routine or diet.
This is when thigh lifts help. By surgically removing excess skin and fat, they help firm the thighs and correct the skin in the thigh region so you can confidently flaunt those toned thighs.
Results
Soon after the surgery is complete, you might notice a visible reduction in the size of your thighs. Months after the surgery, after the healing is complete and any swelling has fully ameliorated, the results will be completely evident. You’ll be able to notice a change in the way the skin on your thighs feels, firmer and smoother. The thighs appear trim and fit.
After the surgery, you are advised to continue following a healthy diet and exercise routine and to avoid excess weight gain. You should make sure to follow the post-surgery instructions and care for the incision sites to avoid infections.
