A thigh lift is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. An incision is made close to the top portion of the thigh in the natural crease where the thigh attaches to the torso. There are several types of thigh lift procedures. When thigh looseness is more pronounced up top, closest to the pubic area, a medial thigh lift is recommended. This limits the incisions to the thigh crease up by the pubic area, easily hidden by undergarments or a bathing suit.
Dr. Mizgala offers the latest technology in skin tightening, including BodyTite and Renuvion. This can be used in conjunction with a medial thigh lift to limit the incisions. In some cases of severe loose thigh skin, a more extensive thigh lift may be recommended. This may involve an incision from the thigh crease down to the knee, hidden between the legs. In most cases, a thigh lift continues to the back of the thigh with an incision under the buttock crease. Dr. Mizgala will customize a thigh lift procedure for you, depending on your thigh anatomy and review all of the options to tighten and reshape your thigh silhouette.
