As Este North Clinic, we aim to achieve the best results for you in health and beauty issues. Today, we would like to give you detailed information about thigh lift techniques and explain who these surgeries are suitable for.
The skin and soft tissues in the thigh area may lose their elasticity over time for various reasons. These reasons include weight gain or loss, ageing, sun damage and genetic factors. This can cause sagging or loosening of the thigh area.
As Este North Clinic, we perform thigh lift surgeries with two different techniques:
- Mini Thigh Lift: This technique is performed using a short and transverse scar hidden in the groin area. It is generally suitable for people with loss of elasticity in the upper thigh. This method is recommended for people with laxity in the inner thigh due to aging, moderate weight gain or sun damage.
- Extended Thigh Lift: In this method, a vertical scar is used and starts from the top of the inner thigh and goes downwards. This surgery is suitable for people who experience loss of elasticity after excessive weight loss or after bariatric surgery. This technique is preferred when tightening is required throughout the thigh area.
An ideal thigh should be flat and tight on the inside, with a structure that does not touch each other, even if there is mild to moderate adipose tissue. There should be no friction between the thighs.
Suitable candidates for thigh lift surgery are people with a body mass index below 30 and non-smokers. In addition, like any surgery, thigh lift surgeries also leave scars. While the mini thigh lift technique leaves a shorter scar, the extended thigh lift technique may require a long scar throughout. These scars may require care in the postoperative period, but the results usually provide a slim and taut thigh area.
The postoperative healing process is important. During the recovery period, physical activities are limited and a corset is worn. Postoperative bruising and swelling are normal, but these conditions decrease over time.
