The area of the legs from the hip to the knee is called the thigh, and the fluctuations and sagging of the skin in this area are the most disturbing issues. The relaxation in this area accelerates with factors such as weight gain, giving birth, inactivity and aging. These problems can be eliminated with the aesthetic surgery methods.
This surgery is applied to eliminate the problem of loosening and sagging of the skin in the thigh region due to excessive weight gain or loss or advancing age.
Loss of elasticity of the skin with advancing age, loss of skin tension with excessive weight gain and loss, thinning of the subcutaneous fat tissue cause the skin of the legs to sag down, especially in the inner part of the thigh. Generally, excess skin accumulation occurs towards the middle of the thigh and sometimes towards the knee.
With the thigh lift operation, the excess skin and fat on the upper and inner sides of the legs get removed. In thin patients with severe skin sagging, excess skin is removed and sutured by stretching, leaving a horizontal scar on the inner side of the groin. It is applied together with the liposuction method in patients who have excess skin and lubrication.
The duration may vary depending on the patient's body condition. Thigh lift surgery is an application that usually takes 2 to 3 hours.
