Thigh Lift in Walnut Creek

A thigh lift surgery in Walnut Creek can completely alter the contour of the thigh by removing both excess fat and sagging skin from the thigh that creates an undesirable silhouette, and sculpting the thigh area so that it is far slimmer. This body contouring procedure is ideal for patients who have excess skin or tissue on their thighs.

TYPES OF THIGH LIFTS

The thigh lift you need will depend on your goals for surgery as well as your individual anatomy.

STANDARD THIGH LIFT

A standard thigh lift is an excellent choice for patients who have excess skin from their groin to their knees. Removal of this skin is performed with an incision from the groin, along the leg, down towards the knee. This reduces circumference of the inner thigh, creating a more lean appearance. The length of the scar depends on how much skin needs to be removed. The scar is positioned so it is not readily seen.

HIDDEN SCAR THIGH LIFT

A hidden scar thigh lift is ideal for patients who have minimal to moderate excess skin in the groin “thigh gap” area. The incision for this procedure is hidden within the groin crease.

PROCEDURE

The surgery lasts approximately 2.5 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
