Thighs Lift and Buttock Lift

Thigh and buttock lift, scientifically also known as 'Thighaplasty' , is a kind of cosmetic surgery in which a part of excess skin fat from all around the hip area is surgically removed. This surgical procedure is best for individuals who are unable to reduce their size of thighs and buttock through exercise and dieting. These factors affect an individual's confidence as it damages appearance, so the procedure is performed for getting a more gorgeous appearance or to correct loss of skin elasticity and shape caused by weight loss, aging, hormonal changes or lack of work out . Through the procedure, excess skin and fat are removed and the remaining tissues are tightened to create a more attractive body contour.

There are two types of thigh lifts. One involves a lifting of the buttocks and outer thighs tapering off into the inner thigh area. This is usually performed on a patient who has least laxity of the stomach or has already had an abdominoplasty. The second type entails combining the buttock and outer thigh lift with a tummy tuck. This is the more common approach since most people with carelessness of the thighs and buttocks also have a wobbly abdomen. Once the unnecessary skin and fat is removed, the remaining tissues are tightened and sewn together. Some drainage tubes are placed to stop fluid from collecting under the skin while healing occurs. Sometimes the process is performed in combination with liposuction
