What Is a Thigh Lift?
A thigh lift is surgery to remove sagging skin and tighten the upper thighs. Although anyone with extra thigh skin can have a thigh lift, by far the most common reason for this surgery is massive weight loss.
A thigh lift aims to create smoother, firmer thighs that complement your overall body shape.
The Thigh Lift Process
Typically, the main incision goes in the natural crease of the groin. This strategic placement ensures that any scarring remains well-concealed under typical clothing, including swimsuits and undergarments.
For people with a dramatic amount of extra skin, such as post-bariatric patients who’ve lost 100 pounds or more, Dr. Benchetrit may create an additional vertical incision along the inner thigh. Although this scar is more visible, it’s still mainly concealed within the legs and allows for more dramatic contouring and improved results in cases where significant skin tightening is needed.
After making the incisions, Dr. Benchetrit selectively removes pockets of extra fat using advanced liposuction techniques. This step refines the overall contour of the thigh before addressing the skin.
Next, he carefully trims excess skin, then tightens and molds the remaining tissue to create a smoother, firmer appearance. Finally, he closes incisions using self-dissolving stitches.
After your procedure, Dr. Benchetrit places compression garments on your thighs. These garments help your thighs maintain their new shape, reducing swelling and promoting healing.
A hallmark of Dr. Benchetrit’s approach is his commitment to minimizing visible scarring. He carefully conceals incisions whenever possible and provides personalized guidance on scar management to reduce scar visibility over time.
