i had a liopscution in May and planning to do thigh lift as i have saggin in the inner thigh and little sagging from outer thigh. i heard is vertical scar is bad as it's get wide and it's visiable as the horizontal scar which will be in the bikini area so it's not visiable and usually its good scar. so what would you recommend ? and also am planning to do tatto on the scar. so how long i need to wait to get the tatto on the scar ?
There are two types of scars used for a thigh lift. A horizontal scar placed in the groin crease is best for patients who have significant vertical laxity(loose skin which can easily be pulled upward). A vertical incision along the inner aspect of the thigh from groin to knee is best used in you have significant horizontal skin laxity or looseness. The specific incision needs to be tailored to your specific anatomy.
I would add that the scars can migrate or widen from their original position; something patients should be made aware of before their surgery.
I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in this type of body contouring procedure.
Best wishes,
Dr. Bruno
How much downtime/time off work for a thigh reduction?
Down time form a thigh lift or a thigh reduction procedure can take anywhere form 3 to 4 weeks. You will need about 6 weeks to be completely healed however. I would plan to take at least one month off work. Optimizing your nutrition with protein supplements will help you to heal faster.
I want to get plastic surgery to improve/reduce my thighs, and I'm having trouble figuring out whether I need liposuction or a thigh lift. My thighs are large (larger than what would be expected for someone of my size), but they aren't smooth. On the inner thighs (the area I want done), there is some wrinkling that almost gives the appearance of sagging. I'd assumed it was fat, because I thought excess skin could only be caused by a large weight loss, which I haven't had. Is this true? I'm in my early 20's and wondering what type of procedure I should seek.
If you have loose inner thigh skin, then you will need liposuction with a thigh lift. If your skin quality is great with no laxity or wrinkles, then an inner thigh lift may work. I would expect for you not to have too much skin laxity since you are so young. But without pictures, it is very difficlut to tell.
