What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift, or thighplasty, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin and fat.
This results in smoother skin and more proportionate contours of the thighs and lower body. This procedure is especially beneficial if you have loose, excess skin due to significant weight loss, aging, or genetic factors.
During a thigh lift, Dr. Zachary Willis at Willis Cosmetic Surgery carefully removes excess skin and fat through incisions that vary depending on the amount and location of excess skin. He may also tighten the underlying tissues to achieve a more toned look. The goal is to enhance the overall appearance of the thighs and align them harmoniously with the rest of your body.
Why Thigh Lift at Willis Cosmetic Surgery
Over time, thighs can become flabby because of gravity, surgeries, fluctuations in weight, and loss of skin elasticity. Skin also naturally loses its elasticity as we age because of a loss in collagen.
Whatever the cause of saggy or flabby thighs, it can frequently cause anyone to feel self-conscious. It doesn’t help that diet and exercise often don’t help with these problem areas.
A thigh lift is a great way to tighten up excessive loose skin in the inner or outer thigh. In some cases, liposuction alone would create too much loose skin in the thigh, so a thigh lift would be a better option.
Getting a thigh lift could be an excellent option if you have:
- Lost weight through diet and exercise but are still unhappy with the appearance of your thighs
- Excess skin that’s sagging naturally or following pregnancy or weight loss
- Loose skin hanging around your thighs after losing a significant amount of weight
- Always had excess skin even though you are in very good shape
What Results to Expect With Your Thigh Lift
Undergoing a thigh lift at Willis Cosmetic Surgery can significantly transform and rejuvenate the appearance of your lower body. Here are some of the results you can expect:
- Improved thigh contour: Post-surgery, patients typically notice a more youthful and toned appearance of the thighs. The removal of excess skin and fat results in smoother, firmer thighs that better match your body's natural contours.
- Reduced skin irritation: Excess skin can often cause discomfort and skin irritation, particularly during physical activity. After a thigh lift, many patients find relief from these symptoms, as the thighs no longer rub against each other.
- Enhanced body confidence: Many patients experience a boost in self-esteem and confidence following a thigh lift. With a more aesthetically pleasing thigh shape, they feel more comfortable in clothing options such as shorts, swimsuits, and fitted garments.
- Long-lasting results: While the results of a thigh lift are intended to be long-lasting, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle helps preserve the outcomes. The effects of aging will continue to play a role, but the improvements from the surgery can significantly enhance your body image and quality of life.
