Many women consider their toned and shapely legs to be their best physical assets, especially when the weather is warm and they can show them off. Men also get thigh lifts. But if you aren’t pleased with the looks of your legs, a thigh lift, (also called thighplasty) can put you in a whole new category of gorgeous. A thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes fat and loose, hanging skin from your legs. The knee and lower leg are sometimes included. The goal is to make your thighs tighter and well-formed. Patients often return home the same day.
The office of MOSA Surgery is proficient at treating all issues that require plastic surgery. We are committed to helping patients by using empathy, patience and a broad spectrum of knowledge. We tailor the medical process to each patient’s needs. We take as much time as you need to address your every concern and clearly explain your options in care.
People who have lost a lot of excess weight can be great candidates for a thigh lift, although the best patients are those with good muscle tone and at their stable, goal weight. While you’re under general anesthesia, a plastic surgeon makes incisions along the span of the hanging skin and fat. Thighplasty might be combined with liposuction to further contour and shape the area.
Right after the procedure, your legs will be put into a compression wrap, and each thigh will have a drainage tube for one to two weeks. Some swelling or discomfort may also occur. The recuperation process, which varies among patients, can take up to three weeks. You will wear the compression wrap for up to 12 weeks. As your recovery continues, the plastic surgeon will show you how to massage the affected areas and care for the scars, all of which will sustain the beautiful, long-term effects of your thigh lift.
MOSA Surgery’s team is made up of friendly, highly trained specialists who are eager to help you feel comfortable and relaxed while receiving the very best in treatments. For more information about how we can help you, please don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment.
