Medial Thigh lift

WHO COULD BENEFIT?

Individuals with excess skin or severe wrinkles on the insides of their thighs.

THE GOALS:

Tighter, smother skin on the insides of the thighs.

Medial thighs with improved contour or shape.

Improved self image.

THE PROCEDURE:

General anesthesia is administered. Next, we remove the excess skin on the insides of the thighs. In most cases, the incisions are hidden up in the groin. For some patients vertical incisions also are necessary.

POST-OP RECOVERY:

Many young patients are able to go hom on the day of surgery. Older patients usually stay overnight in the hospital. Most patients are able to return to works in two to four weeks. We instruct patients for six weeks not to spread their knees apart.

INSURANCE?

If the patient suffers from rashes inside the folds of excess skin, her health insurance company might cover the surgery.

NOTE

The suitability of medial thigh lift for an individual is determined during the office consultation. All procedures have risks. Minor complications occur occasionally. Major complications are quite rare.
