Thigh Lift
in Indiana
One of the most common complaints I hear from my patients during body contouring consultations is the appearance of loose or baggy skin along the inner thigh. It occurs because the skin of the inner thigh has less elasticity than other parts of the body. As a result, patients who lose a large amount of weight, especially gastric bypass patients, are likely to be left with this problem. It can also occur after large amounts of liposuction or as part of the normal process of aging.
If you have developed this problem and it is making you too self-conscious to wear a bathing suit, you may want to consider a Thigh Lift. In a Thigh Lift, the excess skin along the inner thigh is measured with a pinch technique and removed. A compression garment is worn for four weeks to control swelling and promote healing. Light activity such as walking is encouraged.
A Thigh Lift can be performed alone as an outpatient or in combination with other body contouring procedures, such as Liposuction, Breast Lift, or Breast Reduction. However, it is not advisable to have a Thigh Lift and Tummy Tuck together because the skin is being pulled in opposite directions for each procedure and delays in healing could occur.
Dr. Joseph Fata performs thigh lift surgery on his patients in Indianapolis and Carmel, Indiana. To assist you as you gather information on the procedure of thigh lifting, Dr. Fata has compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions based on his extensive experience with patients who have had thigh lifts.
