You deserve to enjoy shapely, toned thighs…but diet and exercise aren’t always enough to get your look exactly right. A thigh lift at the Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery can help you enjoy a toned and youthful appearance.
Thigh Lift Enjoy a Sculpted and Toned Set of Legs
As your skin’s natural elasticity declines over time—usually because of age, gravity, lifestyle habits, and/or significant weight loss— thighs that were formerly firm and toned can begin to sag and even appear dimpled or flabby. Thigh lift surgery helps you enjoy sculpted and taut inner and outer thighs, restoring a youthfully lifted shape and smooth, toned leg contours. Our offices serve the Richmond, Northern Virginia, Charlottesville, and Washington DC areas. When you’re ready to learn more about what the thigh lift can do for you, reach out and set up your consultation with a member of our team today.
Am I the Ideal Thigh Lift Candidate?
The thigh lift is a powerful surgical tool for any patient who is at or near their ideal weight but who has been unable to improve the appearance of their thighs through exercise and diet alone. This procedure is also quite beneficial to patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and currently find themselves dealing with large amounts of excess, loosened skin in the thigh area.
By safely and effectively excising the stretched-out skin in the thigh area, the thigh lift can serve as the final step in your transformative weight loss journey, allowing you to see the true results of your hard-fought weight loss battle.
Our Thigh Lift Techniques
Your specific thigh lift may be performed using one or more of these specialized techniques, depending on the extent of reshaping required. During your consultation, Dr. Sundin will advise you as to the technique that is most right for you, before describing what you can expect from your surgical experience in great detail.
Medial Thigh Lift
An incision is made in the groin area, running to the back of the buttock crease. This enables the surgeon to tighten skin and remove fat from the upper area of your inner thigh.
Inner Thigh Lift
An incision will be made at the junction of the pubic area and upper thigh. This incision allows your surgeon to expertly tighten and contour your inner thigh area.
Bilateral Thigh Lift
This involves an incision beginning at the top of the leg, near the bikini line, enabling your surgeon to tighten the skin along both the left and right sides of the leg.
