Thigh lift
After the spread of stomach cuts and other operations that seek to lose weight, many people after losing weight suffer from significant sagging of the skin in a number of areas, especially in the thighs, as the Thigh lift Dubai operation works to get rid of sagging skin in this area for a more consistent appearance.
It is a plastic surgery that works to get rid of sagging skin in the skin of the thighs, especially that accumulated after a significant weight loss, where the surgeons at the excellage.ae make a surgical incision, work on liposuction, cut the excess skin, and re-sew the skin after this procedure to get the final result.
During the Consultation
Your plastic surgeon will begin by understanding your surgical goals and conducting a thorough evaluation of your overall health, including any pre-existing medical conditions and potential risk factors.
Next, your surgeon will carefully measure the areas to be treated and take photographs for your medical file. They’ll explain the available treatment options, recommend the most suitable approach, and go over the expected results. Additionally, your surgeon will inform you of any potential risks or complications related to thigh lift surgery.
Candidates for thigh lift surgery
We at the Excellage Clinic advise some people and not others to undergo a Thigh lift Dubai , as some people may suffer from important signs that make them candidates for a thigh lift surgery, including:
- Excessive accumulation of cellulite in the thighs and the appearance of lumps on the thighs
- The appearance of sagging skin clearly after losing a lot of weight
- People who do not suffer from chronic diseases
- People who have desire with reasonable expectations of possible outcomes
- People who have not benefited from sports in restoring a harmonious body shape.
- People who have shown stability in weight for at least a year after undergoing bariatric surgery
Stages of a thigh lift operation
In the beginning, the surgeon may place a number of lines and draw the contours of the surgeon’s work, and some pictures may also be taken.
The procedure is done under general anesthesia, so it has to be done in a medical facility.
The type of incision that the surgeon will make varies according to the size and location of the sagging.
The surgeon removes the accumulated fat, cuts the excess skin, and re-sutures the edges of the wound with cosmetic sutures.
Types of Thigh Lifts
The surgeon will assess the areas of concern and determine which thigh lift technique best suits the patient’s individual needs. Here are three popular techniques for thigh lift surgery:
Bilateral Thigh Lift – Often recommended for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, especially after bariatric surgery. This method focuses on reshaping the outer and front parts of the thighs. The incisions are made along the bikini line, enabling the surgeon to lift and tighten the skin along the outer thighs, enhancing overall contour.
Medial Thigh Lift – This technique primarily targets the upper thigh area. It helps reduce excess skin between the groin and hip regions. The incision generally runs from the pelvic area to the buttock crease. Once the excess skin and possibly fat are removed, the skin is pulled tighter and sutured into place. For less extensive cases, a smaller incision at the groin is used, known as a “mini thigh lift.”
Inner Thigh Lift – Specifically designed for the inner thigh, this procedure removes excess skin and fat from the inner leg area. The incision is typically made where the pubic area meets the thigh. Similar to other techniques, excess skin is excised, and the remaining skin is lifted and sutured for a firmer appearance.
Understanding the Advantages of Thigh Lift Surgery
Significant weight loss, whether through diet, exercise, or bariatric procedures, can often leave behind loose skin that affects one’s confidence and comfort. Even at your ideal weight, this extra skin may hinder you from fully enjoying the benefits of your transformation. Fortunately, thigh lift surgery offers the chance to:
- Boost self-esteem
- Smooth out cellulite and dimples on the thighs
- Alleviate the irritation caused by sagging skin, such as chafing
- Eliminate excess skin on the thighs and around the knees
- Create a more toned and refined contour of the thighs
