A Medial Thigh Lift at the Straith Clinic in Metro Detroit
is performed to correct sagging skin and fat of the inner
thighs. An incision in the groin crease is used to excise
the redundant skin and fat. This excision could extend all
the way around the leg, pulling up three to four inches of
thigh skin and fat, thus reducing the sagging and possibly
improving the "cellulite" and/or bubbling appearance
of the skin of the upper thigh.
A Lateral Thigh Lift at the Straith Clinic in Metro Detroit
is usually performed in conjunction with a Circumferential
Abdominoplasty and is usually more suited for patients who
have undergone massive weight loss.
· Anesthesia: Generally local with IV sedation.
· Length of surgery: 2 to 3 hours.
· In/Outpatient: Generally out-patient in our accredited
office operating room suite or in a hospital setting.
· Recovery: Back to work 2 to 4 weeks. More strenuous
activity: 4 to 8 weeks. Fading and flattening of scars: 3 months
to 2 years.
· Duration of Results: Depends on the condition of the thigh
skin. In general, skin that has lost its elasticity (skin that has
stretch marks) will have a shorter duration of improvement.
