The perfection of the body, according to many patients of the aesthetic surgery clinic, is impossible without a graceful and slender shape of the legs. It is this part of the figure, especially in the hips, & nbsp; most often gives a woman aesthetic troubles, because even in the absence of excess weight in the upper or inner thigh & nbsp; fat deposits accumulate. Removing fat from this area is quite difficult, even with a strict diet and exercise. In addition, the skin of the inner thighs becomes flabby and sags over time. Surgical thigh lift will help correct the shortcomings.
What is the result of a thigh lift
The thigh lift, which patients rely on, is designed to rid the woman of the excess subcutaneous fat layer on the inner thighs and sagging skin in this area.
The skin can sag due to age-related sagging, as well as due to severe weight loss or frequent weight fluctuations, due to hormonal disorders and due to previous liposuction without simultaneous tissue tightening.
Due to plastic surgery for a thigh lift, you can achieve:
- thigh thickness reduction,
- smooth contour of the inner thighs,
- increased tissue tone in the upper part of the inner thighs.
A nice addition to a spectacular thigh lift and a slimmer silhouette is usually the fact that the inner thighs no longer touch each other, which means that there are no more diaper rash and skin irritation in this area.
Methods and techniques of thigh lift, cautions for patients
The most important caveat for patients wishing to achieve slim legs surgically should be to set realistic expectations for surgery. The patient needs to be explained that a thigh lift only corrects sagging tissues and partially removes fat deposits, but is not a means of losing weight.
The result of a thigh lift will be long-term only if a stable body weight is maintained in the future.
Another important factor that is explained on the eve of the operation will be to determine the cause of the excessive volume of the hips: it can be either an excess of adipose tissue (which is removed), or a feature of the muscle structure, the shape of the bones (which cannot be corrected). A clear understanding of the possibilities of the operation will allow you not to be disappointed in the future as a result of a thigh lift.
Inner thigh correction can be done with:
- liposuction – if you only need to remove excess adipose tissue in the presence of elastic skin,
- laser liposuction – it makes it possible to simultaneously remove fat and tighten the skin, without making punctures or incisions,
- surgical thigh lift – if the skin is flabby or its sagging is significant, and therefore it is necessary to excise both fat and excess skin.
How does hip lift surgery work
The operation is performed under general anesthesia and takes about an hour. A puncture during the treatment of the inner surface of the thighs is made in the popliteal fossa. A lot of nerve trunks and blood vessels are concentrated here, so the manipulation requires high qualifications from the surgeon in performing a thigh lift. After removing excess fat, the puncture is sealed with an antiseptic plaster.
If a tissue tightening is supposed, then the incision is made in the inguinal-femoral and gluteal folds, the postoperative scar in this case becomes almost invisible after a few months. After the operation, there may be a temporary decrease in sensitivity, swelling, bruising, pain.
After a thigh lift, the patient wears compression garments, after two weeks she can return to her daily active life, but she is advised to refrain from sports activities for one and a half to two months.
