Thigh lift

A thigh lift is performed to tighten the skin around the inner thighs, giving the area a more aesthetically pleasing and toned appearance. Dr. Bagatin will work to create slimmer, more youthful thighs that are more in proportion to your buttocks, abdomen, and legs. The outer thighs are usually not treated because a butt lift provides better results in that area of ​​the legs.

It is performed by removing sagging skin and loose fat tissue from the upper inner thighs down to the knees. This procedure is often performed on patients who have lost significant weight, where the connective tissue has loosened and created the effect of excess skin, which could not be successfully adapted, resulting in a loss of tone of the entire inner thigh.

A thigh lift and tightening procedure can be performed on its own or in combination with other cosmetic procedures, such as a buttock lift. When performed in combination with other procedures, the patient can achieve maximum results, that is, a younger and fresher overall appearance. The doctor will consult with you about your personal aesthetic goals in order to create the best possible plan for you.

During your consultation, Dr. Bagatin will assess your health and skin quality. He will explain to you which alternative body contouring methods are suitable for you and discuss with you the possibilities of a possible combination of procedures that would achieve the best result. The surgeon will also give you specific instructions on how to prepare for the surgery, including instructions on diet, smoking, taking or avoiding vitamins, iron tablets and certain medications. If you get a cold or any infection, especially a skin infection, your surgery will be postponed.

In preparation for the operation, be sure to hire someone to drive you home after the procedure and, in case of emergency, be available for help during the next day or two.

The thigh lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and requires an incision from the groin area to the knee in order to achieve the desired result. You can find out more about the anesthesiology examination at our Polyclinic and the differences between general and local anesthesia here . Lifting the inner (medial) part of the thigh may require only an incision in the groin area, making it ideal for patients with a minimal amount of excess skin and fat on the inner thigh. For lifting the outer (lateral) part of the thigh, an incision is needed that extends from the groin, and this approach can often also provide an additional lift to the buttocks.

After making the incision, Dr. Bagatin will tighten and mobilize the tissue in the surgical field to create a flatter and more beautiful shape. The incisions are closed with stitches and the patient will be advised to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and aid healing.

After surgery, patients may experience mild bruising, swelling, and pain. Discomfort is generally minimal for a minor procedure, but when large amounts of skin are removed, analgesics are often necessary. The patient will spend several hours at the Bagatin Polyclinic after the procedure to be under professional supervision. In any case, painkillers and anti-inflammatory therapy, as well as antibiotics, are used. The results of the procedure are visible immediately and will improve as the swelling and other symptoms subside.

Lighter activities are allowed after 7-14 days, while for most, for greater efforts, it is necessary to wait four to six weeks. Within six months, all symptoms of the procedure should disappear, while the scars should fade. After recovery, the patient will be able to boast slimmer, more shapely legs and completely get rid of previous complexes. The result of a thigh lift can be permanent if the patient maintains an active and healthy lifestyle and does not fluctuate excessively in body weight. Otherwise, the possibility of additional correction is not excluded.
