Outer Thigh Lift

Thigh lifts or thighplasty are performed to improve the appearance of the thighs and is body contouring done by plastic surgery. This is a specialized surgery which is fairly common and does not result in too much pain or bleeding. Different parts of the body are sculpted according to the patient’s wish. Sudden weight changes, ageing, accidents, birth defects may need plastic surgery. Normally the procedure takes a few hours where the skin, muscles, fat are controlled, removed or arranged according to the patient’s wishes. Often it is cosmetic surgery done to improve the looks of the person and give him more self-confidence and satisfaction.

Overweight, sudden loss of weight, ageing may result in the thighs looking awful and grotesque. To improve them the patient can go in for thighplasty. The patient has to research and see what is available and at what cost. He has to find out a surgeon with a good track record in whom he can have the confidence of surrendering his body. Excess fat generally gets deposited in the abdomen or the thighs. In most cases liposuction is the answer to draining off excess fat but it may result in wrinkling or dimpling of the skin. Hence a surgeon may advise liposuction in addition to a thigh lift.

There are many types of thigh lifts. The inner thigh lift concentrates on the inner thigh. The outer thigh lift focuses on the outer thigh. Outer thigh lift requires a bigger incision and could be liposuction, outer thigh lift and buttock lift done together in one operation. That would be the best type of plastic surgery, which could result in a good appearance of the thighs, hips waist and buttocks.

The outer thigh lift consists of making an incision, which may start at the buttock crease, go over the side of the abdomen and around the groin. The surgeon will make the incision in an inconspicuous place as possible so that the scar may not be visible or it may go in the bikini or underwear area. The extra skin high up on the side of the thigh and buttocks is trimmed and the excess fat underneath it is removed. The muscles are tightened and the area is sutured. The thigh lift is generally done along with butt lift, as rounded buttocks usually look better with a flat stomach and sculpted thighs. The recovery generally depends on the health of the patient and the tone of the skin.
