Thigh / Buttock Lift

If you have experienced a loss of weight on the thigh, hip, or buttock areas and your skin is sagging and has a flabby and dimpled appearance, you may be a candidate for a thigh or buttock lift, especially if you are self-conscious about your lower body appearance.

A thigh lift or thighplasty can give you tighter, more attractive thighs and buttocks, with improved contours and decreased cellulite.

The thigh and buttock lift is performed under general anesthesia and you can usually go home the next day.

Individual areas of the thighs can be addressed at a time, depending on your requirements and desires, such as the inner thighs, outer thighs or buttocks.

Thigh Lift Procedure

The incision depends upon the areas that are to be operated upon, and can vary in length and placement according to your clothing preferences as well. After making the incision, your surgeon will raise the skin off the thigh muscles, and redrape it in a suitable fashion. Excess skin will be excised. Thin tubes may be placed through holes near the wound to drain any blood or tissue fluid that collects. These drains are usually removed the next day.
