Thigh-Lift Surgery
Your appearance is important to you, and you make efforts to look your best. You exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet and may have achieved significant weight loss, well done! If as a result of weight loss your thighs have changed shape, have become loose and the skin sags, it probably effects your self-image and your satisfaction with your appearance.
Thigh lift surgery is suitable if your thighs contain fat deposits and skin folds. This surgery sculpts and shapes the contours of the thighs, removes excess skin and fat tissue and produces a firmer and smoother look.
About the Procedure
Congratulations! You have lost weight. You are probably proud of yourself and rightly so. This means that your appearance is important to you, your health is in the forefront of your mind, and you make every effort to take care of a healthy and toned body.
Even if you have maintained a steady weight for a long time, you may still face dealing with troublesome excess skin and stretch marks that develop mainly in the buttocks and back of the thighs. These conditions may upset you, and is understandable and you should not compromise on the natural and youthful look you deserve.
It does not make sense that after all this effort you still do not feel comfortable wearing shorts and a swimsuit…and wearing short and flattering clothing remains a dream.
Beyond aesthetics, your thighs may rub together and cause a rash or fungal infection resulting in discomfort while walking.
Thigh lift surgery is a great solution for achieving sculpted and toned thighs, with a permanent, natural, contoured appearance.
The purpose of the surgery is to remove excess skin and reshape the thigh area until a firm look is achieved. However, it is important to note that this surgery leaves scars.
The risks associated with thigh lift surgery are low, but as with any surgery they do exist, and I will share all the necessary information with you during our consultation.
The surgery is considered low-risk, however, during the healing process there may be bleeding, fluid accumulation, there may be failure to bond in the incision area, asymmetry or delayed healing of the incisions.
Other risks include cardiac conditions, venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
The incidence of necrosis and loss of parts of the skin of the thighs or wide and thickened scars is more prevalent among smokers.
In rare cases there may be hypersensitivity in the area or asymmetry between the thighs.
It is important to note that recovery from this type of surgery is long, but the results are good and produce a long-lasting result.

My Personal Tip:
You invest great effort in your appearance, you deserve to look the way you dream! I am here to help you with your final ‘push to perfection’ by sculpting beautiful taut thighs that will help improve your self-image!
Prior to surgery I will ask you to perform a blood count test, coagulation functions and albumin level (the main protein in the blood) For a woman with a low albumin level there may be problems in the natural healing of the wound.
If you have lost significant weight, it is important to be examined by a nutritionist, prior to surgery, to check for nutritional deficiencies.
You should stop smoking six weeks before and after surgery.
You should stop taking blood thinners that affect blood clotting times, approximately ten days before surgery (Aspirin, Plavix and Clexane, etc.).
You should also stop taking vitamins and dietary supplements that can cause blood thinning such as garlic, Vitamin E, Ginko, Omega 3, etc.
In preparation for thigh lift surgery, it is particularly important to maintain a stable and steady weight over a period of time.
The area is mapped while standing, prior to surgery. This is significant and important as it is difficult to get an impression of the structure of the thigh when lying down and therefore it is necessary to mark the location of the suction cannula insertion points and the areas that require the removal of excess skin, precisely, to leave minimal scarring.
In cases with a slight amount of excess of skin, a precise incision will be made in the upper inner thigh, in the fold in the groin, therefore, any scarring will be concealed when wearing shorts.
In cases where the excess skin is more extensive – a vertical incision will also be made, along the inner part of the thigh.
During surgery, liposuction is performed in the area, that allows the skin to contract to a minimal volume and reduce the circumference of the thigh.
The sutures are soluble and will dissolve after a few weeks.
In some cases, the insertion of drains will be necessary. These are removed after a few days.
The duration of hospitalization is one day. You can bathe as usual a day after the operation and rinse the area with soap and water. It is important to maintain careful hygiene in this area.
Pain will be treated with pain relief medication, as required.
A local pressure bandage or pressure pants are applied to the surgical area, which will apply pressure to the tissue. I recommend you continue use of these measures for two weeks following this procedure, including during nighttime, after which the pressure bandage or pressure pants will be worn for up to 4 additional weeks during the daytime only.
Exercise such as going to the gym, running, etc. should be avoided for approximately six weeks after surgery but it is important, and I recommend walking freely and not spend you recovery period mainly resting. A return to your usual routine greatly improves final results.
There may be edema that will pass after a few weeks-months, the edema can be treated by lymphatic massage.
A balanced diet will help your recovery.
