Am I a suitable candidate for a Thigh Lift?
Thigh lift surgery reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin, and in some cases fat, resulting in smoother skin and better proportioned contours of the thighs and lower body. A thigh lift is very effective; especially in the case of someone who has last a vast amount of weight and is carrying unsightly folds of skin where fat used to be. Also, for some women their inner thighs rub together when they walk and can even stick together in heat and cause irritation and sores, which is distressing and can also be uncomfortable.
You may be a good candidate for a thigh lift if:
- Your weight is relatively stable.
- You have excess soft tissue along the inner or medial thigh region and/or the outer thigh.
- You are a healthy individual who does not have medical conditions that can impair healing or increase risk of surgery.
- You are a non-smoker.
- You have a positive outlook and realistic goals for what thigh lift surgery can accomplish.
- You are committed to leading a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and fitness.
I want to feel more confident in shorts or skirts
After a thigh lift, you can expect slimmer looking thighs. That means tauter skin where the excess skin used to be. You'll be more confident wearing shorts or skirts without excess skin hanging down to spoil the effect.
Can men also have a thigh lift?
Yes. However, women more commonly request thigh lift surgery then men, as the thigh area is a popular spot of the body for fat to accumulate on women's bodies.
