The Thigh Lift, also known as Thighplasty, reduces the size of your upper thigh so that it is in proportion to the buttocks and the rest of your body, improving overall body contour. Pittsburgh plastic surgeon, Dr Heil* uses the procedure to rid the loose, hanging skin in the thigh and buttocks, which tends to remain on a patient’s body following significant weight loss. A thigh lift may be performed with other body contouring procedures at Pittsburgh plastic surgery center. Other procedures can include an arm lift or tummy tuck.
Incisions for thigh lifts vary depending on your skin’s texture and laxity. Many thigh lifts focus on the inner thigh, but outer lifts that include the buttock region are also available. Your plastic surgeon will determine the best procedure for your desired result during your consultation.
