Thigh lift : Thigh reduction surgery
The thighs’ skin is thin and its elasticity is fragile. As a result of ageing, pregnancy or significant weight losses, the thighs’ skin may lose its elasticity. The fat excess, located in the thighs, is often associated with the problem of skin excess. The increase of volume can also be annoying when walking due to friction.
In order to remedy this problem, the thigh lift surgery, also known as thigh reduction, is designed to remove the excesses of skin and fat from the inner and outer thighs, or both, and to sculpt the thighs' shape.
It treats the non-aesthetic appearance of thighs; fatty tissue, sagging skin and stretch marks, in order to get a more defined and noticeable body contour.

How is a Thigh Lift Surgery performed?
A thigh lift involves liposuction along with the removal of excess skin to obtain a better looking shape and appearance. If the skin tone is good and excessive fat is the main problem, liposuction alone may improve the condition.
The surgeon will examine your body shape to define the most appropriate type of thigh lift surgery for you in terms of incision's choice. In this first medical examination, you will be informed on the intervention procedure, the expected result, the healing process and the post operative recommendations. Furthermore, you will be asked about your expectations, requests, your current health and medical history. There are a variety of thigh lift methods depending on the size and shape of the incision to be used to get rid of fat and tissue. The two most common types of thigh lifts are: the Medial Thigh Lift, also known as Inner Thigh Lift,and the Extended Medial Thigh Lift.
The Inner Thigh Lift targets the upper inner thighs by making an incision within the groin area, and then removing a crescent of skin and fat.
The remaining skin is lifted and tightened. The scar resulting from the Inner Thigh Lift technique, called a V scar, goes from the groin to the lower zone of the pubis. It is generally hidden by the lateral folds of the genital zone. The second method is called an Extended Medial Thigh Lift or Extended Inner Thigh Lift. It is recommended for those who suffer from significant sagging skin after an important weight loss. It involves the same area as the first method, but it is extended from the groin down to the knee or back to the crease of the buttock. This technique corrects disproportionate skin such as cellulite. As for this type of procedure, the scar is known as a T-scar. In fact, it combines the first shape of the inner thigh lift scar with another vertical inner one down to the knee. However, it can be easily masked under clothes.
After the surgery, incisions will be bandaged, and scars will remain visible at the beginning, but will diminish gradually over time.

Post operative effects and recovery after a thigh lift surgery
The patient will go through a soreness and swelling period after the surgery which are normal. Antibiotics and anticoagulants are administered to diminish uncomfortable pain and to stimulate blood flow. The patient will wear a compression panty or elastic bands. The post-surgical recovery term is about seven to ten weeks in which patients have to follow the surgeon's instructions: They should avoid any strenuous physical activity the first month after the surgery. They should reduce their body's movements. Nonetheless, they should walk around to better blood circulation. The patients will keep their compression garment at all times till one month after the surgery. As of the seventh week, patients can return to their normal activities and their daily life. Three months after the surgical procedure, scars start to fade. Whenever the patients expose their thighs to sunlight, applying an SPF50 sunscreen is strongly advised.

Advices before and after Thigh Lift surgery
The surgeon will give you a few instructions. Before the Thigh Lift surgery, it is essential to stop smoking and drinking a few weeks before the surgery. Moreover, you will undergo a detailed medical analysis and physical examination to evaluate your fitness and general health status for surgery.

After the Thighplasty, the patient should follow the surgeon's recommendations such as keeping the compression panty to boost skin retraction. The patients should require a few pieces of advice on: how to care for their surgical site, when the elastic band and stitches will be removed, which medications to be taken in order to prevent infection and how to apply ointment on the scars.
