Ideal Candidates for Thighplasty
Ideal candidates for a Thigh Lift Miami Beach are those who have excess skin and fat deposits in the inner or outer thighs and have maintained a stable weight. Patients should also be in good health, without any medical conditions that could interfere with the procedure. Candidates for this cosmetic procedure can also be affected by weight loss, aging, and even gravity, leading to excessive skin becoming apparent on body parts such as the thighs.
It is important for patients to have realistic goals and expectations about the outcome of their thigh lift surgery. Prior to undergoing the procedure, patients must undergo a thorough medical evaluation to ensure they are healthy enough for surgery. After surgery, compression garments may be worn to help reduce swelling and support the newly contoured thighs.
Thighplasty Techniques
Inner Thigh Lift
An inner thighplasty involves removing excess skin on the inside of the thigh, with incisions typically made at the junction between the thigh and pubic area.
The doctor can access the necessary areas by making a small, inconspicuous cut to remove a wedge of skin and tissue for reshaping and tightening. As a result, any scarring will be easy to conceal once healed with clothing such as swimwear or underwear.
Outer Thigh Lift
This type of outer thighplasty involves removing a wedge of skin and tissue. Then, the surgeon tightens the remaining area to improve flabbiness. In addition, this method provides the surgeon with greater access to both the front and back of the leg.
The outer thighplasty technique is most commonly performed on patients who have lost a significant amount of weight.
Vertical Thigh Lift
A vertical thighplasty, otherwise known as a medial thigh lift, involves making incisions in both the inner and outer thigh to gain access to tissue and fat in the area. This procedure offers the doctor an improved range of motion compared to an inner thighplasty alone.
For people who have been unable to tone their thighs through diet and exercise, this is an effective method of achieving the desired shape.
Mini Thigh Lift
For those with a minimal amount of loose skin in the inner thigh area, mini thighplasty can be an excellent option. By making a smaller incision, this procedure assures a quicker healing time and is less invasive than regular inner thigh lifts.
The surgeon will use his expertise to recommend the best surgical technique for each patient.
Understanding the Thighplasty Procedure
On the day of your procedure, you will be properly sedated and then Dr. Salloum will use a combination of skin excision and liposuction to remove the excess tissue and reshape the thighs.
After surgery, compression garments help to reduce swelling and support the newly contoured thighs.
While you may experience some swelling immediately after your thighplasty, once this subsides you will have the shapely thighs you’ve always desired!
Thighplasty Recovery
Thigh lift recovery time is an important part of a successful surgery. During the recovery period, it is important for thigh lift patients to follow their post-operative care instructions and avoid strenuous activities. Pain medications help manage any discomfort during the recovery process. Generally, normal activities can be resumed within a few weeks after surgery, but physical activities like exercise routines should be avoided until cleared by Dr. Salloum.
The recovery period for this procedure can vary from patient to patient depending on the extent of the procedure and individual healing times. It is important for thighplasty patients to take proper care of themselves during this time in order to ensure a successful outcome. Following all detailed instructions and avoiding strenuous activities will help ensure that you have a smooth and successful healing process from your thighplasty procedure in Miami Beach, FL.
It’s important to remember that the right surgeon can help you save money, provide outstanding results, and avoid the need for additional procedures.
