I Had a Consultation About a Thigh Lift and the Surgeon Recommended Doing One Thigh at a Time is This Normal?
Both thighs are usually done at the same operation during a thigh lift. To do otherwise could risk aymmetry. In some cases liposuction is done as the first stage to thin the thighs and the lift is done at a later stage, but for either surgery both thighs are completed on the same day. A second opinion may be in order. Be sure your doctor is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This is the gold standard to assure adequate training.
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.
Excision of thigh tissue, a thihg lift, is usually done after weight loss to decrease the very loose skin on the inner thighs. The thigh lift leaves fairly prominent scars on the inner thighs, which might be worse than the loose skin you have now. A liposuction of the thighs will remove fat, but will leave the skin looser and possibly indented areas. Another 'trade-off' which could be worse.
