New Jersey Thigh Lift Patients: What is the Condition?

For many clients who have undergone significant weight loss, loose thigh skin can remain long after. This can result in a loss of confidence or body image concerns — which may prevent you from wearing clothing that shows off the new body you worked so hard for. Dr. Parakh’s thigh lift procedure removes loose skin and excess fat from your thighs, and is designed uniquely for your body to refine, contour, and smooth the skin.

What a Thigh Lift Does for You

Weight Loss Patients: Achieving your weight loss goals can take a great deal of work over many years. However, even after losing the weight, you may experience loose skin left behind. This loose skin can be especially prominent in the thigh area, making it difficult to find pants or pencil skirts that fit your waist, hips, and thighs. A thigh lift addresses this sagging skin.

Aging Patients: A thigh lift can be very effective in reducing the appearance of aging on your body. While removing excess fat and skin, a thigh lift can also improve the shape of the underlying tissue supporting your thigh, restoring a smooth contour to your overall appearance.

She will present potential outcomes for a thigh lift, making use of advanced computer imaging techniques to show your appearance following the procedure. She will also make specific recommendations for the procedure, providing example outcomes for similarly situated clients. Your consultation will also include a complete overview of expectations, risks, and recovery guidelines for the procedure. During your consultation with Dr. Parakh, she will create a personalized plan for your thigh lift in New Jersey and schedule your procedure at a future date, if you wish to proceed.

Surgery Details for a Thigh Lift

A thigh lift is typically performed under general anesthesia. There are different techniques for the procedure, and the method that works best for your concerns and goals will be selected during your consultation with Dr. Parakh.

Vertical

In the vertical thigh lift technique, the incision goes along the crease of the groin and on the inside of the thigh. This technique addresses the inner thigh and knee area.

Lateral

In the lateral thigh lift technique, the incision goes around the waist. This technique addresses the upper area of the outer thighs.

Medial

In the medial thigh lift technique, the incision is made in the crease of the groin and reaches to the crease of the buttocks. This technique removes and tightens excess skin at the upper inner thigh.

What Other Procedures Compliment a Thigh Lift?

Patients commonly request combining body contouring procedures so that they can achieve various enhancements with just one recovery process. A thigh lift can be safely done with several other procedures such as liposuction of a different area, a breast procedure, or even a facial procedure. We encourage you to discuss all of your cosmetic concerns and goals with Dr. Parakh during your consultation so that she can develop a plan that’s right for you.

What to Expect During Recovery

Following your thigh lift, you will experience some bruising and swelling in the affected areas. You’re also likely to experience some pain or discomfort which can be well controlled with medication. If thigh lift is the only procedure you are having, you’ll be able to go after home after surgery. If combined with other procedures, you may want to stay overnight at the surgery facility.

It’s important to start walking after your procedure to help with circulation. You can start driving once you are off narcotic pain medications. Most patients return to work in 1-3 weeks. You should avoid strenuous or arduous activity (including exercise) for a few weeks.

How Long do the Results Last?

The overall results of a thigh lift procedure are long-lasting, as long as you maintain a relatively stable weight. As you age, it is natural for your thighs to lose some firmness. However, the thigh lift is a permanent procedure that will provide real change to the contour and shape of your thighs.
