With thigh lift surgery from Dr. Hamid Massiha, you can achieve your body contouring needs and be confident with your legs. Also called thighplasty, thigh lift surgery is a popular procedure that gets rid of excess fat and skin on the thighs. For the best results, work with an experienced cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Massiha. He’s been sculpting bodies for many years, like an artist, to deliver the best results for patients.

Fat accumulates around the thigh, and the skin also loses its elasticity, resulting in a droopy appearance and lots of stubborn cellulite. Thigh lift surgery can address the following issues to give you a more youthful look.

• Sagging or loose skin around the thighs
• Fat deposits
• Wrinkly appearance
• Unappealing proportions

If you have body image issues related to your thighs, or if you’ve been working out but don’t seem to see any progress with stubborn fat deposits, then thighplasty might be the best solution. However, thigh lift surgery may not be suitable for people who have underlying conditions. These may prevent healing or increase the risk of complications.

Getting a thighplasty is still a very individual decision. Your plastic surgeon will evaluate and discuss your medical history to see if you’re qualified for the treatment. You can even ask for thigh lift before and after images to see what results are possible.

To learn whether a thigh lift can help you, the first step is to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Massiha. At the consult, Dr. Massiha will talk about the procedure, your goals, other options, and the potential risks. Be prepared to discuss your medical history and expectations for the surgery, and to ask questions. This is the time to get your questions answered. Your surgeon can also show you thigh lift before and after pictures.

After consultation, your team of healthcare professionals will begin to tailor a unique treatment plan. During the evaluation period, you will continue talking with your surgeon and undergo physical exams. Tests, images, and x-rays may be ordered depending on your age, health, and other individual needs.

Once the evaluation is complete, your surgeon will recommend a personalized plan that revolves around your goals and limits for your treatment and recovery periods. Dr. Massiha may perform the arm lift surgery alone or in combination with a wide range of comprehensive cosmetic and body contour services.

Make sure to ask any questions you have. Don’t be afraid to share your thoughts with your surgeon and healthcare team. If you do not understand something, tell your healthcare team, so they can find another way to explain it. If you are unsure of what questions to ask, see this checklist recommended by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. It can help guide you during conversations with your surgeon.

Thighplasty is an outpatient procedure that happens anywhere between 90 minutes to three hours. We put you under anesthesia before starting the type of thigh lift procedure recommended.

• Medial Thigh Lift: The medial thigh lift is also called inner thigh lift. The doctor will create an incision from the groin toward the knee, remove a wedge of skin and fat, then close the skin.

• Lateral Thigh Lift: An outer thigh or lateral thigh lift helps remove excess fat and tighten skin on the outside of the leg.

After the successful surgery is recovery. To promote faster healing, avoid strenuous activities and rest as much as you can. Remember your surgeon’s advice, especially regarding what medicines to take, when to schedule a follow-up visit, and what complication symptoms to monitor.

After the incisions heal, you’ll find that your thighs look noticeably firmer. The skin stays close to the muscle and no longer sags.

Thighplasty costs can vary depending on several factors including the procedure. The technique, the experience of the board-certified cosmetic surgeon, the facility where the procedure is performed, and the anesthesia involved all influence cost. Many of these choices are made according to your medical history and your expectations. You and your surgeon will talk about these decisions during your consultation and discussions before surgery. Dr. Massiha will be able to provide a price quote with your treatment plan so you can budget the cost of your procedure.
