Thigh Lift in Paramus, NJ
Thigh lift surgery, also known as thighplasty, can reshape your thighs by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in more slender, attractive thighs that are more proportionate to your body. If exercise, dieting, and a healthy lifestyle have failed to achieve your desired body contours, a surgical thigh lift may be right for you.
Am I a Candidate for a Thigh Lift?
Ideal candidates for this procedure:
-
Have sagging or loose thigh skin
-
Have stubborn pockets of excess fat on the thighs
-
Are at a stable weight
-
Are relatively healthy without underlying health conditions
-
Are non-smokers or willing to refrain from smoking for several weeks
-
Have realistic expectations for what the surgery can achieve
-
Are committed to healthy lifestyle habits before and after surgery
-
May have achieved significant weight loss that left loose tissue on the thighs
How Is Thighplasty Performed?
The surgery begins with either general anesthesia or intravenous (twilight) sedation. Dr. Andrew Nouri will recommend the best option based on your needs.
The incision pattern for your thigh lift will be based on the problem areas that need to be addressed and which technique Dr. Nouri determines to be most appropriate.
What Is an Inner Thigh Lift?
If significant corrections are needed to the inner thigh, incisions will be placed in the groin area that extend downward and wrap around the back of the thigh.
Some patients may only need the groin area incision (minimal incision inner thigh lift).
Others may need just the incision from the groin vertically down the inner thigh to the knee.
What Is an Outer Thigh Lift?
Outer thigh contours can be corrected with an incision from the groin that extends around the hip and along the back. Incisions are placed strategically to reduce visible scarring as much as possible.
