Thigh Lift Treatment Specialist in Fairfax VA

A medial thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to reduce the size of the upper part of the inner thighs. Medial thigh lift surgery improves the appearance of the inner thighs caused by excess weight loss or aging.

A medial thigh lift can be performed under general anesthesia or as an outpatient procedure. Dr. Suh will make an incision along one side of the groin and remove some fat and excess skin from this area. This will tighten the muscles, lift the flesh in this region, and create a smoother, more attractive appearance for the inner thigh.

The medial thigh lift may be used to address loose body skin, stretch marks, and excess fat that has formed on the upper part of the inner thigh. Older women who have lost the tone in their thighs or those who have lost a significant amount of weight consider medial thigh lift surgery.

The main types of thigh lifts are:

Medial thigh lift

This procedure is used to tighten skin on the inner thigh. It is usually done for women who want to smooth out a bulging inner thigh area. The recovery time for this type of thigh lift is approximately two weeks, with most patients returning to work in about four weeks.

Inner thigh lift

This procedure reshapes the inner thighs. It is usually done on women who have loose skin on the inner thighs that they want to remove. The recovery time for an inner thigh lift is approximately three weeks; however, most patients can return to work in six weeks or less.

Bilateral thigh lift

This procedure is used to reshape both inner and outer thighs simultaneously or remove loose skin from both legs.

The thigh lift procedure can be done under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure and takes about two hours. You’ll need to wear a compression garment for several months afterward, and you can expect six to eight weeks of recovery time in total.

Medial thigh lift surgery results are usually immediate because there is no swelling or bruising after this procedure. Patients must wait three months before beginning strenuous exercises such as running or weightlifting.

Patients may experience some pain following this procedure. Therefore, over-the-counter medication such as acetaminophen and anti-inflammatories may be recommended to help decrease any discomfort.

A good candidate for a medial thigh lift is anyone unhappy with the appearance of their inner thighs. Many patients have a medial thigh lift simultaneously with other body contouring treatments.

• People who would benefit from this type of surgery include:

• Those who are overweight or obese and have loose skin on their inner thighs

• Those who have had multiple pregnancies

• Those who have lost significant weight but still have excess fat in this area.
