Thigh Lift (Leg Lift)
Skin laxity on the thighs often occurs only with advancing age; however, it can also develop earlier after significant weight loss, such as through dieting or intense physical activity. If a genetically determined connective tissue weakness is also present, it can further accelerate the sagging process. A thigh lift (leg lift) can help achieve the desired appearance in a lasting and efficient manner.
Particularly in the summer, and particularly when they’re wearing shorts or short skirts, slackness in the thighs can make women feel inhibited in their sporting activities and seriously impair their joie de vivre. It is true that in some cases the fat layer can be reduced by healthy nutrition, enough sporting activity and a mild diet, but because of the loss of elasticity in the connective tissue on the thighs, in particular on the inside, a skin surplus remains.
With modern microsurgical methods, this surplus mantle of skin and soft tissue can be reduced by a thigh lift, reestablishing a firmer thigh contour.
If there is a significant amount of fatty tissue in the legs, a thigh lift (leg lift) can also be combined with liposuction. In cases of moderate excess skin on the inner and outer thighs, this can achieve a noticeable improvement in the silhouette and help avoid a more extensive surgical procedure. However, if skin laxity on the thighs is more pronounced, surgical removal of the excess skin and fatty tissue is advisable.
The surgical removal of slack, surplus tissue on the thighs inevitably involves more major skin incisions. With a thigh lift, the incision is made horizontally in the groin region, depending on the medical findings, or alternatively vertically on the inside of the thigh so that it runs as unobtrusively as possible. So that your scars form without any complications, we’ll be glad to advise you on the right kind of scar care.
The prospects of success for a thigh lift (leg lift) are generally high, and the results are usually long-lasting.
