There are a lot of reasons a person may not be satisfied with the appearance of their thighs. When this is the case, a thigh lift might be the best option. This is a surgical procedure that removes both excess fat and skin from the inside of your thighs. While the reasons for wanting to get this done are always personal, here are some of the most popular reasons people consider a thigh lift.

Recently Lost Weight

Everyone loves losing a large amount of weight. What many people do not anticipate is the extra skin left behind. If you have lost a lot of weight, a lift is likely your only option for toned and tight looking thighs. Again, the skin in this area simply lacks the elasticity to tighten up by itself.

Disproportionate Sized Thighs

Some people are just unlucky and are born with thighs that are disproportionate to the rest of their body. In these cases, exercise and diet alone are usually not enough to solve the problem. A thigh lift is a great way to remove the extra fat and skin to achieve the legs people dream of.

Struggling With Chafing

Having large thighs can result in painful chafing. The legs rub together due to the extra fat or skin and cause friction. This can be especially bad in the summer when people are sweating or if the person is trying to exercise. The pain caused by this condition can be easily solved with a thigh lift.

Wanting to Improve Self-Esteem

Self -confidence is important to a person’s quality of life. Sometimes, the way someone feels about their appearance can negatively impact their intimate life. A well thought out surgical procedure to help someone feel better about their appearance can do wonders. This is an easy way to both improve your body and your self-esteem.

As people get older, their skin naturally loses some of its elasticity. This can result in unsightly thigh folds or deep wrinkles that make a person feel self-conscious. Getting a thigh lift can be the beginning to a whole new, more confident life. To learn more, call or visit us at Tarola Plastic Surgery, located in Murfreesboro and Hendersonville, TN.

 

As we age, the thighs tend to sag under the weight of excess skin, muscles, and fat. If you’re bothered by the look of your thighs even after losing weight, a thigh lift might be the solution that creates the look you’re after. This procedure removes extra skin and some fat for smoother, firmer proportions.

Who Is a Candidate for a Thigh Lift?

Thigh surgery is ideal for those who still have sagging skin in the area even with diet and exercise. If you’re primarily interested in removing excess fat, liposuction is more likely to produce the desired results. In cases in which skin elasticity is not ideal, some patients choose to combine liposuction with a thigh lift. To undergo this procedure, you should be in general good health, at a stable, healthy weight, a non-smoker, and committed to a healthy lifestyle.

What Can I Expect from the Procedure?

Techniques vary depending on your specific case and desired results. Excess skin and fat is typically removed to create a smooth, taut contour. After the procedure, it is important to follow our team’s instructions for optimal results.

What Results Can I Expect?

Though the results of the thigh lift will be visible immediately after the surgery, it may take several weeks or even months for the final results to be evident. The thigh lift is designed to be permanent if you remain at a healthy weight and exercise regularly. As such, ideal candidates for the procedure are committed to practicing a healthy lifestyle.
