Thigh lift surgery

The majority of candidates for thigh lift surgery are those that have lost massive amounts of weight either through diet and exercise or following bariatric surgery. Because the skin has lost its elasticity no amount of diet or exercise can restore firmness and tone to the thighs.

Another group of candidates for this procedure are those who have developed lower body dimpling or sagginess simply due to the loss of elasticity that accompanies aging.
Thigh lift surgery is a procedure performed to reduce sagging of the thighs by removing the excess skin and fat tissue. This procedure results in smoother skin and a smaller, more proportionate lower body. Ideal candidates for a thigh lift are people who are able to maintain a stable weight. Ideal candidates will also have no medical conditions that could impair healing or that would increase the risks associated with the procedure. Candidates should also be non-smokers. Those seeking this surgery should also have a healthy outlook on life and have realistic expectations of what the outcome of surgery will be. They should also maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a proper diet in order to maintain the benefits of the surgery.

While Dr. Attaran will go over the risks of surgery with you in detail, you should also make sure all your questions regarding your surgery are answered. Your surgery will be easier if you are comfortable with the knowledge of what to expect.
