GENERAL INFORMATION

Modern thigh lift techniques have dramatically changed from the principles and scar locations popularized by South American plastic surgeons in the 1960s and 1970s. The thigh has been found to be more effectively lifted by incisions along the waist and upper buttock, which also result in more easily hidden scars. The buttock and the thigh are simultaneously lifted and such powerful lifting forces on the side of the body actually transfer lifting and sculpturing as far as the inner thigh. The best candidates for such thigh lifts are those who can actually grab and lift a roll of excess skin along the outside of the thigh and buttock. Many of these patients have had a large amount of weight loss, but many merely have a considerable amount of skin that has lost its elasticity. With these lifting procedures, rolls of skin can be eliminated. The buttock shape improves and some forms of cellulite become much less apparent or disappear.

Indications: Loose or sagging skin of the thighs and/or buttocks.

Intended Results: More shapely, firm thighs and/or buttocks, elimination of some forms of cellulite, improved skin tone.

Procedure Description: A buttock/thigh lift is done under general anesthesia. Usually an extensive amount of skin is removed. Often liposuction is performed simultaneously.

Recuperation and Healing: The extent of the procedure determines whether this is done as an outpatient procedure or in the hospital 1-3 days. Most patients return to work in 2-3 weeks.

Other Options: Liposuction improves contours but cannot tighten skin.



More Information:  Buttock-thigh lift is an extensive procedure that lifts the buttocks and upper half of the thighs greatly improving sag and also some forms of cellulite appearance. The scar trade-off of this procedure is a long scar extending horizontally across the lower back, upper buttock area from one side to the other. Recovery is a full 2-3 weeks.
