Thigh lift

Thigh lift

It is not always possible to keep the body in perfect shape, especially with regard to the hips. The skin on the inside of the thighs sags in most women. Even young girls are not an exception. This problem causes various complexes. For example, for some representatives of the beautiful half of humanity, this is an excuse to avoid trips to the sea. If there is also excess weight, sagging in the hips brings serious discomfort (when walking  they rub against each other, rubbing the skin strongly).

Thigh lift involves various types of surgical interventions that are aimed at correcting this area. It can be not only a lift, but also lipofilling or liposuction.

Thigh lift will improve the tone of the skin, align the contours of the body and restore the aesthetically correct proportions of the body.

Thigh lift surgery can be carried out by a highly – qualified plastic surgeon in Kiev Andrey Kharkov.

Indications for thigh lift

    Thigh lift is indicated if there are the following problems:

• The presence of “ears” on the hips.
• Loss of turgor, sagging skin of the thighs.
• Sagging skin tissue (this is most often a consequence of rapid weight loss).
• Weakening of muscles.
• Disproportionate body.
• The presence of a evident “orange peel”.
• Deposition of a large amount of lipid fractions from the outside.

Particular features of thigh lift

Thigh lift performed  by Andrey Kharkov includes the following steps:

1. Preliminary consultation

At this stage, an initial inspection is carried out and all the nuances of the future operation are clarified.

2. Laboratory research

Before the operation the patient undergoes all the necessary tests. Based on the analyzes received, the anesthesiologist selects the most optimal variant of the surgical intervention.

3. Preparation for the surgery

Existing bad habits should be eliminated and a number of medications should be abandoned  for at least a month before the operation.

4. Operation

The duration of the operation depends on the problem. The method of surgical intervention is selected before the operation.

5. Rehabilitation and recovery period

During the recovery period the patient must wear special compression garments.

2-3 months after the surgery  the plastic surgeon conducts a final examination.

Now about each stage in more detail.

At a preliminary consultation, the surgeon examines the hip area, assesses the condition of the tissues in general and selects the most appropriate correction option. In addition, all wishes, possible risks and features of the surgical intervention are discussed with the patient.

From examinations and analyzes, the patient must pass a general blood and urine test, a coagulogram. Fluorography and ECG are also carried out.

Two weeks before the surgery, smoking, alcoholic beverages, certain medications (among them, ibuprofen, anticoagulants) should be excluded.

Immediately on the day of the operation (at least 12 hours in advance), food and water should be avoided; a hygienic shower should be taken 2-3 hours before the operation.

Also, do not forget to tell your plastic surgeon about any existing chronic diseases.

The method of surgical intervention is determined depending on the elasticity and condition of the skin, the available volume of fatty deposits.

The incisions are made in the most inconspicuous places. To remove excess soft tissue, one of the options is used:

1. Vertical method.
2. Medial method.

• Vertical

The incision is made from the groin to the knee. In this way, you can get rid of the maximum amount of skin and at the same time tighten the thighs, reducing their diameter.

• Medial

In this case, the beginning of the incision is in the fold under the buttock. The incision continues towards the groin area. This method allows you to excise excess skin with minimal intervention. Postoperative scars are reliably hidden under the linen.

As a rule, with significant weight loss, there is a need to tighten both the back, outer and inner thighs. Also,  the surgery allows you to eliminate sagging in the hips.

To achieve the most pronounced aesthetic result, two operations can be combined: thigh lift and buttock augmentation. The incision is made under the pelvic bone, then over the buttock to the top of the gluteal fold. A flap of skin and muscles on the outside of the thigh, as well as on the top of the buttocks, is removed and pulled up. Its excess is excised and the edges are fixed with a thin thread.

The duration of the surgery is 90 minutes.

Rehabilitation period

During the day after thigh plasty, the patient stays in the hospital of the clinic under the supervision of plastic surgeon Andrey Kharkov. After that rehabilitation continues at home (the main stage is 14-20 days).

At the final stage, a special compression garment is put on the patient. It allows you to reliably fix the surgical area and avoid stretching the seams.

For 1.5-2 months after thigh plasty, the patient should observe the most relaxed regimen. It is forbidden to visit sauna, steam bath and solarium.

1. Diabetes mellitus.
2. Mental disorders.
3. Diseases of the blood.
4. Constant fluctuations in weight.
5. Endocrine obesity.
6. Hyperthyroidism.
