From the age of 40 onwards, slim legs in women can not be achieved and that causes an inelastic skin. The most common reason for thigh lift is the sagging of the skin on the inside of the thighs. This hanging saggy tissue does not look nice and also causes hygienic problems in daily life. Before a thigh lift the patient should achieve her ideal weight with dietary and sporting activities.

The operation methods of a Thigh Lift

For young women Vaser liposuction is often sufficient to remove excess fat from the thighs, because the skin has sufficient elasticity. It is just the opposite for the women after 40 years old and the rubbing of the inner thigh bothers some women as they walk. If the skin and connective tissues are sagging, then the excess skin needs to be treated surgically by removing of fat and lifting of the saggy skin. Therefore in thigh lift, both a liposuction and the tightening of the inelastic skin can be necessary. Immediately prior to surgery the excess skin is measured, the amount of skin to be removed is assessed and marked. A vertical scar on the inside of the thighs occurs usually after the procedure, which is not visible from the front.

Follow-Up after a thigh lift operation

Wearing a compression garment is recommended after surgery for 4-6 weeks. The most common risks are similar to arm surgery, which are bruising, swelling, numbness, and unsightly visible scars. Bruising and swelling disappear few weeks after surgery. Numbness usually heals in the first months and and scar ointments are helpful in scar therapy. The patient should be more careful, if the cuts are in the area of the groin, because here it may cause a very large tension and if not paid attention, it can result the tearing of the wounds.

If there is only excess fat in the thigh region, only a Vaser Liposuction surgery can be sufficient. For more information about Vaser Liposuction, you can visit our webpage “Liposuction Vaser” under the menu “Body”.
