Thigh skin tightening - features of the operation

How does a thigh lift (plasty) surgery take place?

Depending on the condition of the skin and the volume of adipose tissue, only a thigh lift can be performed, or it can be combined with a buttock lift (flankplasty). In addition, a thigh lift is part of a torso lift, a complex procedure that includes abdominoplasty, thigh lift and buttock lift. A thigh lift involves surgery and lipoplasty.

Important! A thigh lift is not intended to remove excess fat. If you are interested in removing excess fat tissue, then you should undergo liposuction of the thighs.

At the request of the patient and the recommendations of the surgeon, a buttock lift can be performed together with gluteoplasty (hip replacement), which will make the buttocks not only firmer, but also more voluminous, expressive and attractive. In case of obvious looseness and increased laxity of the skin, a thigh lift can be combined with liposuction and abdominoplasty. The full set and procedure for carrying out a set of operations is discussed in advance with the plastic surgeon and allows you to achieve a stunning figure with no flaws.

Anesthesia

Anesthesia is an integral part of any surgical procedure and must be administered safely. A thigh lift is usually performed under general anesthesia. Sometimes the patient is put to sleep using endotracheal anesthesia. Local anesthesia combined with sedatives or spinal anesthesia can also be used. In our clinic, pain relief during hip surgery is carried out only under the guidance of one of the best anesthesiologists in the country, which allows us to guarantee your safety and the absolute safety of your health!

Femoroplasty (thigh lift)

Everyone is crazy about Marilyn! Beauty Monroe captivated hundreds of thousands of men, thanks not only to her gentle voice, but also to her hips! The star proved that if you keep yourself in good shape, men will fall at your feet much more willingly! A beautiful figure has long fascinated men all over the world. But, if earlier young ladies hid behind closed clothes, and it was almost impossible to admire their silhouette, today girls prefer dresses and suits that favorably emphasize the curves of the body. thigh lift - femoroplasty will come to the rescue .

Femoroplasty thigh . A thigh lift is performed for those patients whose skin on the thighs sag in unsightly folds. These skin folds can be either a consequence of sudden weight loss or natural aging of the body, or the result of “failed” liposuction (when, after removing large volumes of fat, the patient’s skin did not shrink).

In cases of sagging skin on the outer thighs, one of the types of surgical lifting is performed in combination with a buttock and/or abdominal lift. This type of large, voluminous surgical intervention is called body lifting.

The purpose of this surgical intervention is to remove excess unabridged, overstretched skin and form a new contour of the inner thighs.

Incision

The position of the incisions during a thigh lift depends on:

– area or area to be treated;

– degree of correction;

– patient and surgeon preferences.

When lifting the inner thighs, the incisions are placed in the groin folds and are completely hidden under underwear. An internal (medium) lift is the most popular type of thigh surgery. This type of lift is ideal for patients with a moderate amount of skin and fat on the inner thighs. An incision at the junction of the thigh and pubic area removes excess skin and possibly fat. The skin is then stitched together.

External thigh lift , as the name indicates, addresses problems in the outer thighs. In an outer thigh lift, the incision is made from the groin area around the hip joint. The incisions may be large, but the surgeon will always place them in areas that may be hidden by underwear and swimsuits.

In a total buttock and outer thigh lift, ellipsoidal incisions are made from hip to hip through the top of the buttocks.

A new type of surgery, the spiral thigh lift , is designed for the front, back, inner and outer thighs. The incisions are placed below the fold of the buttocks and continue along the crease of the groin at the junction of the thigh and pubic bone. This procedure is ideal for people who have lost weight and need a general thigh lift.

Any thigh lift is achieved by removing a flap of skin and fat, and then suturing the tissue in the upper third of the thighs.

Indications for the procedure:

Sagging skin in the thigh area. This condition can occur after rapid weight loss or after pregnancy. Most often, there is a discrepancy between the lost kilograms and the rate of restoration of skin elasticity;
The appearance of “dimples” or “lemon peel”. The surface of the thighs changes, which causes discomfort to the person. This condition is typical for people who are overweight;
Fat deposits on the thighs;

Most often, a thigh lift attracts the attention of the fair sex. However, many men also prefer to get rid of excess fat deposits on their legs.

Closing the incisions

One or more drains may be placed under the incision. These thin rubber tubes drain fluid that may accumulate under the incision and interfere with healing.

Skin suturing is very important for the success of the operation - it must be done in such a way as to avoid movement of the scars and distortion of the genitals. The incisions are closed with self-absorbing sutures. After suturing, a sterile bandage is applied to the incisions and compression garments are put on, which fixes the hips and reduces bruising and postoperative swelling.

Who is femoroplasty indicated for?

This surgical intervention can be prescribed for medical and aesthetic reasons. The procedure is prescribed in the following cases:

a thick layer of fat under the skin of the thighs;
sagging excess excess skin as a result of muscle dystrophy or due to sudden loss of existing weight;
weak muscle tone in the inner thigh;
various anatomical disorders that impair the aesthetic appearance;
any stage of cellulite;
all kinds of stretch marks of different shapes and sizes;
fat deposits leading to skin chafing;
pronounced swelling of the skin.

After operation

Some patients may feel anxious and depressed for several days or weeks after surgery. This is fine! Feelings of anxiety and depression will rapidly subside as you return to an active life with beautiful updates to your appearance.

You should refrain from active sports life for two months. After 2 weeks, you can resume light physical activity. After 6-8 weeks, you can resume most sporting activities, such as running, cycling, aerobics, etc.

It is necessary to wear compression garments for a month; in the long term there are practically no restrictions.

Despite restrictions on high physical activity, it is advisable to start moving and moving around as soon as possible after hip surgery. Early ambulation will reduce the risk of developing blood clots in the legs. Solariums and saunas should be avoided for a month

Result after thigh lift

A thigh lift is not one of the most popular plastic surgeries. This is explained by the duality of the results obtained. On the one hand, the aesthetic problem has been solved (sagging skin and fat have been removed), but on the other hand, very long scars remain on the legs or arms, which, alas, do not make the patient more beautiful or his image more harmonious. What is better – skin hanging in folds or a slender body contour, but with a scar? Only the patient decides...

Enjoy life and look in the mirror with pleasure - your hips will look like in the picture! Being the owner of a beautiful figure and graceful curves of the body is like wings behind your back, and an inspired woman means a playful look, a great mood, self-confidence and self-confidence! Being desired by your man is hard work. After all, even the sweetest and most delicious dish will get boring over time. Therefore, we wish you to conquer your man not only with a delicious dinner, but also with seductive hips, which he will be crazy about.

Stages of preparation for surgery

First consultation

Before deciding on hip surgery, a patient at the CONSTANTA Clinic consults with a plastic surgeon. The doctor studies the structure of the body, assesses the extent of the problem and chooses a method to eliminate it.

At the end of the consultation, the doctor refers the patient for laboratory tests to ensure there are no contraindications and to select the optimal anesthesia option.

If you live in another city or for other reasons cannot come for a consultation at our Clinic, the doctor will contact you via Skype or email.

Choice of pain relief

After the test results are received, the anesthesiologist selects the appropriate pain reliever. Specialists at the CONSTANTA Clinic have access to a variety of anesthesia options.

Rehabilitation period:

In the first 1-2 days, due to the large wound surface, pain and swelling may occur. During this time, the patient is under observation in the clinic and takes painkillers. In addition, strict bed rest is necessary, and being under observation in a hospital during this period is much more comfortable. Immediately after the operation, special compression shorts are put on, which will need to be worn for about a month and a half. They will reduce the load on the seam, facilitate its healing and proper formation, and reduce swelling and discomfort.

It is better to adhere to restrictions on movement in the first days after discharge from the clinic. After about 7-10 days, the surgeon will invite you to remove the superficial sutures. Internal sutures are made from self-absorbing threads; they do not need to be removed.

Disappearance of hematomas and a significant reduction in swelling can be expected after 2 weeks. But you will still not be able to visit the sauna, gym or subject yourself to serious physical activity.

In general, rehabilitation after femoroplasty can take up to 4-6 months. And a lot depends on the patient’s compliance with the regimen. At this time, pain is normal in the suture area and in the area where liposuction was performed, and slight swelling of the lower leg. A burning sensation, itching, tightness or, conversely, temporary loss of sensitivity are also normal. Nerve endings need time to recover. Despite the fact that the effect of femoroplasty is noticeable immediately, it is better to judge the result after six months, when the tissues, as surgeons say, have finally settled.

Possible complications:

loss of skin sensitivity (reversible)
swelling, uneven thigh contour (reversible)
suture dehiscence if the regimen is not followed (surgical correction will be required)
displacement of scars in the groin area (also corrected).

Femoroplasty is an extensive and serious operation that requires a highly qualified plastic surgeon. Errors in tissue matching can lead to scar displacement and asymmetry in the future, so it is very important to carry out this intervention by professionals with extensive experience.

Thighplasty is a surgical type of correction aimed at improving the shape, size and proportion of the hip area. Typically, patients at the CONSTANTA Clinic resort to this surgical intervention for aesthetic purposes, to restore firmness after sudden weight loss or to remove excess fat in this area. Medical indications are often the reason for plastic surgery. Sagging skin on the inner thigh causes discomfort when walking and is subject to friction, which causes irritation, diaper rash, and clothes quickly deteriorate. In this case, it is necessary to remove excess skin so that the patient can move freely and not experience discomfort.

Plastic surgeons at our Clinic use surgical methods to solve problems in the femoral area in the following cases:

Loose skin on the inner thigh;
Excess fat tissue on the outer thigh;
Flabbiness of the skin of the thigh area caused by age-related changes or sudden weight loss;
Skin irregularities that look unaesthetic.
