What is a thigh lift? Contoured legs and thighs

Thigh lift surgery reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin and fat, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned contours of the lower body. A thigh lift in Tampa may be performed in combination with liposuction and other body contouring procedures. This procedure can also be used to treat lipedema, a particular area of specialization for Dr. Markelov.

What can I expect from a thigh lift?

For an inner thigh lift, incisions are made along the inner aspect of the thigh and/or in the groin crease, depending on the patient’s body and goals. The surgery involves general anesthetic and is done in an outpatient surgery center.

If the patient is prone to excess fat in the thighs, Dr. Markelov may also perform liposuction. He removes excess skin and tissue and closes the area with dissolvable sutures and skin glue, which ensures minimal scarring and faster recovery.

Determining your candidacy Will a thigh lift improve my overall look?

If you feel self-conscious about dimpling, sagging, or cellulite-heavy thighs, or if you avoid wearing shorts or skirts because of the way your upper legs look, a thigh lift could be an excellent option to consider. Thigh lifts are appropriate for those who meet the criteria below:

You have maintained a stable weight for at least six months
You have excessive skin due to weight loss or aging

Benefits of a thigh lift in Tampa Life without restrictions

Redundant skin on the legs and thighs can make exercise uncomfortable, and restrict one’s wardrobe to long pants or skirts regardless of the weather. With a thigh lift in Tampa, patients can enjoy a wider range of physical activities, as well as reap the following benefits:

Firm and toned thighs
An overall balanced and beautiful silhouette
Reduced sagging, flabbiness, and dimpling in the thighs
