Do you have sagging thighs that hide the beauty of your body? Are you looking for a permanent and powerful solution that can ensure a better shape of your thighs?

If exercise and diet couldn’t achieve your goal of having a firmer and youthful buttock, thighs lift surgery might be an ideal way to make your dream comes true!

What is a thigh lift?

A thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery that reshapes the thighs by reducing sagging fat and excess skin to get a tight and well-proportioned contour. It is undergone under general anesthesia.

What are the types of thigh lift operation?

There are two types of thigh lift adopted by our clinic:

·  Mini thigh lift

A mini thigh lift is performed to remove the sagging fat and skin in the upper part of the inner thigh by a small incision, leaving minimal scars. It is appropriate for those who have a small amount of excess fat and skin and would like to tighten it.

· Extended thigh lift

Extended thigh lift treats the entire thigh through making an incision in the upper part of the inner thigh, which is the same mini thigh lift incision. However, it extends vertically along the inner part of the thigh and ends at the knee.

Are you the right candidate?

In order to be a good candidate for a thigh lift:

• You should be in good general health.
• You must be at least 21 years old.
• You suffer from excess fat and skin in the thigh area.
• You are not satisfied with your thigh size and shape.
• You should have realistic expectations.

How should I prepare for a thigh lift?

Preparing for a thigh lift is required the following instructions:

• Do the necessary lab tests prescribed by your doctor.
• Get a baseline mammogram before the surgery.
• You should stop smoking for at least two weeks before the procedure, as smoking inhibits blood flow to the skin, which in turn might affect the healing.
• You should avoid blood thinner drinks, such as green tea, which might cause severe bleeding during and after the surgery.
• You should stop taking medicines that lead to blood thinning, such as Aspirin and ibuprofen combinations.
• You should avoid stimulants, such as coffee or alcohol, for a week before the transplantation, as stimulants might affect the anesthesia process.
• You are recommended to follow a healthy food system before the operation to avoid any complications that might occur during the surgery.

What are the steps of the thigh lift?

Thigh lift includes the following steps:

· Anesthesia stage

In thigh lift, the patient is given general anesthesia, which puts him to sleep during the operation, so he will not feel pain at all.

· Making incision

Incisions patterns rely on the situation of the patient:

For the inner thigh incision:

• The incision can be made in the groin, downward, and around the back of the thigh.
• The incision can be made along the inseam.
• The incision can be made only around the groin.

For the outer thigh incision:

• The incision can be made in the groin around the hip and across the back.

Your surgeon decides on the ideal incision which suits your situation.

· Reshaping thighs

Once the surgeon makes the incision, he reshapes the thigh contour by removing excess skin and sagging fat to give you a natural and firm butt appearance.

· Closing incision

The surgeon stitches the incision and covers it with an elastic bandage.
