Thigh Lift
Our approach to trim bulky thighs with excess skin and/or fat involves liposuction, surgical thighplasty, or a combination of both liposuction and thighplasty. If your skin elasticity is good but there is excess localized bulging, fat, or “cellulite,” liposuction alone and application of compression garments will reduce the thighs quickly. If you have lost significant weight or have loose skin, removal of excess skin by thighplasty is preferred. Sometimes, liposuction of outer thighs and thighplasty of inner thighs are combined, or both inner and outer thighs can be lifted.
These are major procedures, performed under general anesthesia in a fully accredited ambulatory surgery center. Results can be dramatic! Liposuction involves less recovery than thigh plasty, and few if any visible scars. Scars after thighplasty must be minimized and hidden, requiring careful surgical technique and post-surgical garments and sometimes specialized taping. Every patient is different, and Dr. Laverson individualizes your procedure to achieve the best possible result.
