Thigh Lift

After massive weight loss, many people notice excess skin and dimpling of the thighs. This can be unsightly and very frustrating after months to years of diet and exercise to lose the weight.

A procedure called a thigh lift often utilizes liposuction to remove remaining pockets of fat and an incision on the thigh to remove excess skin and fat. This procedure creates a smoother appearance to the skin and improves the contour of the thigh.

Recovery from this procedure usually involves wearing compression garments to reduce swelling and to improve the final result. Patients should expect to take it easy for about two weeks, and at that point activity levels can usually be gradually increased.
