Medial Thigh Lift

The ideal candidate for a thighplasty is one whose skin is sagging due to sudden weight loss or ageing. A fat person is not necessarily a good candidate. Generally liposuction can be used to reduce the thighs and then a thighplasty can be done to improve the tone and texture of the skin. Body contouring is extensively done through plastic surgery and is quite a safe procedure. An incision is made and excess skin and fat is removed. The muscles are tightened and the incision is stitched, leaving a tube to drain off excess fluids. If liposuction has been used to remove the fat, a lot of liquid would have been injected in the area causing remaining liquids to be collected after the procedure. This is quite common. Once the area is dry, the tube will be removed.

Though thigh lifts are a fairly quick surgery involving anesthesia, in many cases which are not very extensive, it can be done on an outpatient basis. Discussions with the surgeon will give the patient all the information he needs, which will include the cost of the surgery, the actual surgery, the post operative care and other such things. There are many types of thigh lifts. Outer thigh lifts, inner thigh lifts, medial thigh lifts and many other thighplasty which the surgeon will discus and advise.

A medial thigh lift reduces the fat and the skin on the upper portion of the inner thigh. Patients who want a better shape or those ho have lost a lot of weight suddenly generally opt for this procedure. During the medial thigh lift, the incision is made in the groin area that goes up the buttock crease. The skin flap is lifted, the excess skin removed and also the excess fat. This will improve the appearance, the size, shape and the skin tone after the operation. The operating area will then be carefully sutured with sutures which are absorbable or easily removable. Bandages will be placed and the patient advised to take complete bed rest for a few hours. He will be told to try walking within forty eight hours but to avoid bending or squatting. He can have a shower after forty eight hours. He can expect some swelling, redness, bruising or discomfort which will be back to normal with medication. He can resume normal activities after a week but the best results will only be visible after six to eight weeks.
