THIGH LIFT IN BANGKOK, THAILAND
The thighs can lose their original shape and start accumulating fat as result of aging. The skin on the inner and outer thighs can also start to sag or appear flabby.
Sometimes patients are left with excess loose skin on the thighs as a result of significant weight loss.
Although exercise helps to improve the condition of the muscles, it cannot make the skin more elastic. Stubborn fat deposits often don’t respond to exercise either.
Thigh lift, also known as thighplasty, is a surgical procedure that aims to refine the thighs by removing excess skin and fatty tissue from the upper legs.
The result is a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing contour for the lower body, more prominent muscle tone, smoother skin and a more youthful thigh shape.
Good candidates for thigh lift surgery are men and women who:
- Have stubborn fat deposits on the thighs that won’t respond to diet or exercise
- Have excess skin tissue in the inner or outer thigh area, possibly as result of weight loss
Patient should be in good general health and have maintained a relatively stable weight prior to surgery.
THIGH LIFT SURGERY
The first step is an initial consultation with a plastic surgeon. Your surgeon will prepare an individual treatment plan for you, taking into account your personal circumstances and aesthetic goals.
A few different options exist for thigh lift surgery. The most common types are inner thigh lift and outer thigh lift surgery.
Inner thigh lift
Outer thigh lift
The most popular type of thigh lift, this involves incisions at the junction of the thigh and groin that extend to the buttock crease. After placing the incision, the surgeon will remove excess fatty and skin from the inner thigh region. The process may also utilise liposuction for more effective results.
The area between groin and knee is then reshaped, and the procedure is repeated on the other thigh. The result is a smooth and aesthetically pleasing inner thigh contour. Scars will be completely hidden under clothing.
