Medial Thigh Lift
Who is a Candidate for Medial thigh Lift? Often age and either weight gain or loss leads to a sagging of the thigh skin. This can be a cosmetic embarrassment but can also make fitting clothing difficult. Medial thigh lift is for those individuals who are otherwise healthy, looking to improve the contour and appearance of their thighs and willing to accept the resulting surgical scars.
Planned Results: Decreased fat and excess thigh tissue with an overall improvement in the appearance.
Procedure Description: Prior to surgery the excess tissue will be marked and the surgical incisions planned. The incisions extend along the internal thigh of the thighs up into your groin crease.
The surgery is completed under general anesthetic. You will require an adult to drive you home and stay the night with you. Private nursing care can be arranged through U Cosmetic at an additional cost.
The excess skin and fat will be removed and the incisions closed with a combination of internal, dissolving sutures and external, nondissolving sutures. You may have drains in place to prevent the accumulation of fluid.
Recuperation and Healing: You will have bruising, swelling and some discomfort. You will be sent home with prescription medications to keep you comfortable. Initially the skin on your thighs may feel tight and you may have pain with walking. You are encouraged to return to your usual daily activities as soon as possible. Prolonged bed rest can lead to complications. Avoid any activities that increase your blood pressure for 48 hours and avoid any leg workouts or running for 4 weeks following the surgery. You will be required to wear a special garment following the surgery and this will be provided to you by U Cosmetic.
Options and Considerations: Liposuction often helps improve the overall outcome of the procedure. You may also be a candidate for the Ultrashape noninvasive body contouring treatment. This will be discussed at your consultation.
Notes: Scar healing can be optimized with Kelocote scar gel. The surgical incisions may become widen in the groin area and on occasion cause distortion of a woman’s labia. All possible complications will be discussed at your consultation.
