Thigh lift

A thigh lift, also known as a thigh lift, is a procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the inner thigh. This is often desired after significant or bariatric weight loss or in people whose diet and exercise have failed to reduce excess fat tissue and thigh skin. Liposuction can be used to help recontoure the inner thigh.

Dr. Rami Alshekh uses additional argon plasma technology (ArgoPlasma) for the above operations, which gives the patient higher effectiveness and a chance for tighter and firmer skin. If a patient wants their thighs to have better, more proportional contours and a firmer appearance, they may consider thigh lift surgery. The procedure involves removing excess sagging tissue from the thigh and closing it by tightening the skin to create a firmer shape.

How is a thigh lift performed?

Medial (inner) thigh lift: An incision is made in the groin area and excess fat and skin is trimmed along the inner thigh. Liposuction may, but not always, be included in this procedure, depending on individual requirements. The area from the groin to the knee is recontoured.

This treatment is often combined with other body shaping procedures, such as bodylift, arm lift or liposuction. These patients' skin became stretched when they became overweight, and the elasticity did not return to normal.
